How many of us have that embarrassing foot, or nail fungus among us? When I was younger, I got a really bad case of smelly feet. I didn’t know how to get rid of it, and some one suggested bleach which helped.
1/3 cup of bleach to 2 gallons of warm water, let your feet soak for an hour, then rinse. Repeat, if necessary.
But when it comes to nail fungus well that is more difficult to get rid of.
First, you need to soak your feet in water, put water in a tub that is as hot as your feet can endure ,and let your feet soak.
You can use warm water, but if your nails are thick it will take longer to soften.
Add tea tree oil to the water and just relax and waite until your nails feel soft.
That is when you can clean under your nail a lot easier and trim them so they don’t start flying around the room like bullets as you cut them.
Once you have trimmed them. We can start a treatment of many different home remedies. And as I always say make sure you let your doctor know or herbal specialist know the herbs you would like to try.
Vicks vapor rub is in most homes. Once your feet are dried, use Vicks on your nail’s top side and under your nail, if possible.
Once every day, over and under the nail till gone. And if you want softer feet you can use it to smooth dry feet. Vicks vapor rub is actually very refreshing after a long day of standing on your feet.
Another good fungus remedy is snakeroot extract which is an herb. It heals your fungus in three months, that is an herb you should ask a well educated herbalist about. Use with caution.
The next one is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil can be put directly on the nail, and the tea tree oil will absorb into the nail. Use twice daily.
Vinegar can also help by soaking your feet in two parts warm water and two parts vinegar.
We all remember Listerine. It still supports the treatment of healing toe fungus by soaking your feet in it for at least twenty minutes. It is made with eucalyptus, thymol, menthol that have antifungal and antibacterial properties.
Garlic is really good for fungus-toes and it has two ways to take it. First one, you crush it and spread it on your toes or crush a lot and play squishy-garlic with your toes which ever is more fun. Or take garlic capsules.
Black tea is a way to help get rid of toe fungus by soaking them in tea in a tub.
Epsom Salt, is very good for fighting fungus of the nails and feet it is very beneficial.
But the best way to care for your feet is to protect them. That means, when you go to a pool or hotel room, always wear foot coverings, even if you are in the shower.
Prevention is the best medicine, because once you have nail fungus its hard to get rid of it!
