2.) Oregano Oil
This is one of the most potent oils that can fight nail fungus that causes nail rot and discoloration. Mix together 2 to 3 drops of oregano oil with 1 tbsp of olive oil, then apply it directly to the affected nails, and leave it for about 30 minutes. Wash it with soap and water, then repeat twice a day until the fungus is gone.
3.) Coconut Oil
If you’re looking for a great alternative to conventional antifungal treatments, then try using coconut oil by simply applying it directly to the infected nails. It will help slow down the growth of fungus and add moisture to the surrounding skin as well.
4.) Hydrogen Peroxide
For this solution, simply mix together equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water, then soak your feet for about 10 to 20 minutes daily or directly apply it to infected toenails. Make sure to use hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of no more than 3%.
5.) Black Tea
This astringent will help dry out the fungus and reduce swelling at the same time. Brew some black tea, let it cool down, then soak your feet for about 10 to 30 minutes, and rinse them off with water. Pat your feet dry with a clean towel and repeat this method daily.
6.) Tea Tree Oil
Mix together 2 to 3 drops of tea tree oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then apply to the infected area, and rub until absorbed. You can do this twice a day until the fungus clears up.
7.) Olive Leaf Extract
You can use this as a topical treatment for toenail fungus. Just mix 1 teaspoon of olive leaf extract with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then apply it up to thrice daily until the fungus is completely gone.
8.) Epsom salt
Epsom salt helps loosen and soften the skin which makes it easy to trim nails and prevent further infections. Just add a cup of Epsom salt to warm water, then soak your feet for about 30 minutes until the condition improves.
9.) White Vinegar
Mix together 1 part vinegar with 2 parts warm water, then soak your nails or apply it directly, and leave for about 15 minutes daily for best results.
10.) Fresh Garlic
Mix a clove of freshly crushed garlic with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then apply it to the infected toenail for no longer than 30 minutes daily for up to 2 months.
