Toenail fungus is a nasty and embarrassing problem, which is why many people are so anxious to get rid of toenail fungus. The good news is that there is a way that you can treat this problem without even going to the doctor.
Natural Remedies For Treating Nail Fungus
Note: If you are experiencing toenail fungus and are looking for a truly effective cure to remedy this ailment, home remedies may not be enough and are certainly not guaranteed to eradicate the problem. Laser removal treatment has been proven to achieve lasting results and deter the reformation of the fungal infection.
In order to use this home remedy, you will need a tub, Epsom salt, tea tree oil, nail clippers, cotton balls and nail files. Below is the step by step guide on how to get rid of toenail fungus:
Prepare Your Toenails
Before you soak your feet, you want to clip as much of the infected nail as you comfortably can. Do not use these same clippers to trim your healthy nails. The next step is to file down your toenails. This makes it easier for the tea tree oil and salt to reach the fungus. After that, you will need to wash your hands because that will prevent the fungus from spreading.
Soaking Your Feet In The Epsom Salt
You will need some Epsom salt, a tub and a towel for this step. You will need to fill the tub with some warm water. Once you have made sure that the water temperature is comfortable enough for you to soak, you should go ahead and get in the tub. After that, you will need to pour the Epsom salt on your toes. You should put about a half a cup of Epsom salt on your toes. Soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes.
Tea Tree Oil
After you have soaked in the tub for at least 15 minutes, you should take a cotton ball and apply the tea tree oil to the infected nails. You may also want to use a little tea tree oil on the skin beside the nails. It is very important for you to make sure that you test a small area of your skin in order to make sure that you are not allergic to tea tree oil.
How Often Do I Need to Do This?
You will need to soak your feet once or twice a day. You also want to use the tea tree oil two times a day.
Is There Anything Else I Need to Do?
It may take a while for the fungus to completely clear. While you are waiting for the infection to clear, you should try to keep your feet bare as often as you can. A moist environment facilitates the growth of fungus.
What If This Does Not Work?
If you do not notice a difference after a few months, then it is time to seek professional help. We offer laser treatment that has been shown to be very effective and safe.
