- In a small bowl, melt the coconut oil if it’s solid (you can do this by placing the bowl in a warm water bath).
- Mix the Essential Oils:
- Add the tea tree oil, lavender oil, and oregano oil to the melted coconut oil. These essential oils are known for their antifungal and antiseptic properties.

- Frequency:
- Apply this treatment twice daily for best results.
- Additional Tips:
- Maintain Cleanliness: Keep your nails clean and dry, as moisture can encourage fungal growth.
- Proper Hygiene: Change socks and shoes regularly to prevent moisture buildup, and ensure your footwear is breathable.
- Diet and Health: Maintain a healthy diet and consider taking supplements that support nail health, such as biotin and zinc.
Precautions:
- Patch Test: Before using the treatment, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions to the essential oils.
- Avoid Sensitive Areas: Be careful to avoid getting the oil mixture in your eyes.
