Natural Remedies for Toenail Fungus

Did you know that toenail fungus affects millions of people? Naturally many of us ignore this embarrassing infection, which if left untreated will spread to other toenails and could result in the loss of a toenail.There are of course natural remedies to treat a toenail fungus which is not only cheap, but has no side effects.Here are some remedies for toenail fungus.

Acetic acid which is commonly known as vinegar, will attack the fungal infection. Soak a q-tip with distilled vinegar and apply to the affected toenail. You may need to apply it several times in order to completely cover the nail. Make sure to apply the vinegar often and as much as two times a day. Try applying it in the morning and then once at night.

Now most of us should have this in our medicine cabinet - vapor rub. Now, vapor rub contains camphor and methanol which has shown to kill the toenail fungus naturally. Apply the vapor rub on to the nail once a day. It would be preferable to apply it at night, because of the smell caused by the camphor. A word of caution though, vapor rub is known to make the nail black. Fortunately, this will disappear over time.


Bleach is another remedy for toenail fungus. A diluted solution will help cure toenail fungus. It is highly recommended to dilute the bleach, as it could irritate the skin if it is applied undiluted. The recommended strength of bleach to use is one half teaspoon of bleach per gallon of water. This concentration might not be strong enough to cure the infection so you may have to adjust it to cure the toenail infection.


Believe it or not, urine is another natural cure for toenail fungus. It contains a compound called ureic acid, which works in a similar way as vinegar. For this application method I will leave it to you as to how you would like to apply it.


Another popular natural treatment is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is made from a tree that grows in Australia. It is known to have some natural anti-fungal properties. Apply it once a day for a few months and you should see results shortly.

Now remember it may take up to three months before you see an  improvement in your toenail. If however, after that time you do not see an improvement, be sure to try something else. Be patient and persistent and you should be able to cure your toenail fungal infection naturally.
