Toenail fungus is a common issue that affects up to 10 percent of American adults. It can be resistant to treatments, but there are home remedies that can banish this fungus forever and prevent it from occurring again in the future. When you have a toenail fungus, the affected nails appear thick and yellow. As the infection continues, the nails can become weak and brittle, resulting in them chipping off and falling away from the nail bed. It is important to start treating a fungal infection as soon as you notice it because early treatment tends to get rid of the fungus faster and it is easier to treat in the early stages.<\/p>\n

Apple Cider Vinegar<\/b><\/h2>\n

Apple cider vinegar has potent anti-fungal properties, as well as living enzymes. These come together to fight fungus at the source. Take apple cider vinegar and put it onto a cotton swab and dab this onto the affected toenail three times a day. This vinegar can also be consumed to attack fungus from the inside out. If you drink it too, you only need to drink it once a day to reap the benefits.<\/p>\n

Salt<\/b><\/h2>\n

Salt, more specifically Epsom salt, works to kill toenail fungus<\/a>. It helps to remove toxins and improve the health of the toenail. Grab a foot basin and add enough warm water to cover your feet to the ankle and then add two cups of Epsom salt and stir until it is completely dissolved. Soak your feet once a day for about 30 minutes until the fungus is cleared up. This can be drying so moisturizing your feet afterward is a good idea.<\/p>\n

Honey <\/b><\/h2>\n

Honey helps to kill fungus and bacteria by drawing out toxins and due to it containing hydrogen peroxide. You need to use organic honey to get full benefits. Take a spoonful of it and fully saturate the affected nail. Grab a sterile gauze square and apply this over the toenail to keep the honey in place. This can be done twice each day, but make sure to thoroughly clean and dry the toenail in between treatments. You can also mix organic honey and apple cider vinegar and use it as a drink to treat the fungus from the inside out.<\/p>\n

Tea Tree Oil<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tea tree oil has natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties and it is commonly used for a variety of skin and nail ailments, including toenail fungus. It also has anti-fungal properties when applied directly to the affected toenails. Take a cotton ball and soak it in water and then put three to four drops of this oil on the cotton swab to saturate the affected toenails with the mixture. This should be done once in the morning and once at night until the fungus has cleared up.<\/p>
