Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (antifungal and moisturizing)
- 5 drops tea tree oil (potent antifungal and antiseptic)
- 5 drops oregano oil (strong antifungal properties)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps to balance pH and inhibit fungus growth)
- 1 tsp baking soda (alkalizes the area to reduce fungal growth)
- 1 clove of garlic (crushed) (natural antifungal and antibacterial)
- Cotton swabs or cotton balls for application
Instructions:
- Prepare the mixture: In a small bowl, mix the coconut oil, tea tree oil, oregano oil, apple cider vinegar, and baking soda. Stir well until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Apply garlic: Crush the garlic clove to release its antifungal compounds. You can rub the crushed garlic directly on the affected nail for a few minutes, or mix it into the oil blend for a stronger effect.
- Soak the affected nail: Soak the affected nail in a foot bath with warm water and a splash of apple cider vinegar for about 10 minutes. This helps to soften the nail and skin.
- Apply the oil mixture: After soaking, dry the feet thoroughly. Using a cotton swab or cotton ball, apply the oil mixture generously to the toenail and surrounding areas. Make sure to get it under the nail if possible.
- Let it sit: Let the treatment sit and absorb into the skin for at least 30 minutes before putting on socks or shoes.
- Repeat: Apply this treatment 2-3 times daily. Consistency is key, so continue for several weeks until the fungus clears up.
Additional Tips:
- Keep your feet clean and dry, and avoid wearing damp or tight shoes.
- You can file the surface of the nail before treatment to help the mixture penetrate deeper.
This natural remedy is gentle but effective with regular use.
