NW Washington | Here are some home cures for toenail fungus from the interweb. I did not see soaking your feet in bleach and water, but that might work too.
If all else fails, see your local podiatrist and take or apply the anti-fungal meds.
"Home Remedies for Toenail Fungus
1. Tea Tree Oil:
Apply a few drops of tea tree oil directly to the affected nails twice daily.
Dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil (e.g., olive oil) before applying.
2. Vinegar:
Soak your feet in a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts warm water for 15-20 minutes daily.
Apply vinegar directly to the nails using a cotton ball.
3. Listerine:
Apply Listerine to the affected nails with a cotton ball twice daily.
Listerine contains thymol, which has antifungal properties.
4. Ozonated Oils:
Apply ozonated oils, such as olive oil or sunflower oil, to the nails twice daily.
Ozonated oils have been shown to inhibit fungal growth.
5. Vicks VapoRub:
Apply Vicks VapoRub to the affected nails nightly.
The menthol and eucalyptus oil in Vicks VapoRub have antifungal effects.
6. Oregano Oil:
Apply a few drops of oregano oil directly to the nails twice daily.
Oregano oil contains carvacrol, which has strong antifungal properties.
7. Garlic:
Crush a clove of garlic and apply it to the affected nails for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.
Garlic contains allicin, which has antifungal effects.
8. Baking Soda:
Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the nails for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.
Baking soda has antifungal properties and can help absorb moisture.
9. Other Tips:
Keep your feet clean and dry.
Wear socks made of breathable materials like cotton.
Change your socks daily.
Trim your nails regularly.
Use a nail file instead of cutting your nails to prevent injuries.
Note: Home remedies may not be effective for all cases of toenail fungus. If the fungus does not improve with home treatment, consult a healthcare professional for medical intervention.
