Toenail Fungus And Simple Home Cures
Toenail fungus can be an unsightly ailment that is also thought of as annoying and hard to cure. However, with just a few items that you may already have in your home, you can quickly and easily treat your toenail fungus and ensure that you won’t get it again.
Almost everyone has some sort of vinegar in his or her kitchen pantry. If you do, then you’re already on your to treating your condition.
Just about any type of vinegar can be used for treament , but the most popular are common white vinegar and apple cider vinegar.
To use them as a natural treatment, mix equal parts of water and vinegar together in a container that is large enough to soak your feet. You can use warm or cold water, and some even suggest that you alternate between the two.
Once you have mixed the solution, soak your feet for about a half an hour. After your foot has sufficiently soaked, make sure to dry your foot and toenail completely with a towel or a hairdryer that has been set to warm. To ensure that you thoroughly treat your toenail fungus, repeat this process three times a day until the fungus has cleared.
Another way to use vinegar is to apply two drops of it right to the afflicted nail’s base twice each day. Just make sure that the vinegar stays in place so it can work its magic.
If you have vinegar in your kitchen, then chances are you also have olive oil. Just one teaspoon of Olive oil, when mixed with two drops of little known oregano essential oil, can be applied to the infected toe to combat fungus. It should be known, however, that this treatment should only be used for three weeks or less.
Tea tree oil has been said to work wonders because it is a natural fungicide and antiseptic. To use, do not dilute the tea tree oil. Apply it right to the toenail, and continue to do so until the fungus has cleared
Tea tree oil also works well when combined with an equal part of lavender oil. This solution should be applied to the nail’s top edge and all surrounding areas 2-3 times each day.
Now, head to your bathroom. Do you have Listerine? If so, then use it to soak your infected toes. The mouthwash’s antiseptic will give your toes a healthy look.
While you’re in the bathroom, look for Vicks VapoRub, because that also works well to treat toenail fungus. Apply the Vicks to your toenails each day and watch as the fungus disappears.
Another common household item that works well on fungi is bleach. Mix a capful with water and soak your feet one to two times a day until the fungus has been eliminated. Just be aware that this treatment can cause your toenails to turn white, and some may even find that it irritates their skin.
If you find that you have toenail fungus, don’t worry. Naturally treating your toenail fungus can be easy and painless with just a few items found in your home.
