A fungal nail occurs when a fungus attacks a toenail, a fingernail or the skin under the nail. Any part of the body can be affected by fungal infections.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), toenails are more often affected by the fungal infections than the fingernails, because they are usually confined to the shoes and are in moist, warm environment.
If you are healthy, the fungal infection will not cause any serious problems. But, it can be hurtful, look awful or damage the nails.
Get Rid of Nail Fungus Forever
You can get rid of nail fungus with this natural remedy. It contains only 2 ingredients: apple cider vinegar and baking soda.
Baking soda will not kill the fungus, but it will surely prevent it from spreading and growing.
The apple cider vinegar makes it difficult for the fungus to survive because it is naturally acidic. Do not worry, it will not damage the surrounding skin and nail.
You need:
- 4-5 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- Water
- Paper towels
Directions:
Make a mixture of 1 cup vinegar and enough water to soak your feet in. Soak for 15 minutes. Then, dry with paper towels.
Add more baking soda to the water and soak your feet for another 15 minutes. Then, again dry your feet with paper towels.
Do this twice a day. The fungi will be destroyed by the vinegar, and baking soda will inhibit the growth of more.
