Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup warm water
- 3-4 drops tea tree oil
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 2-3 garlic cloves (crushed)
- Optional: coconut oil for moisturizing
Instructions:
- Prepare the Soak: In a bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar and warm water (1:1 ratio). Add tea tree oil and crushed garlic cloves.
- Soak Your Feet: Submerge your feet (or affected toes) in the mixture for 10-15 minutes. This helps kill bacteria and loosen up dead skin around the nails.
- Rinse and Dry: After the soak, thoroughly rinse your feet with warm water, then dry completely.
- Apply Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to make a paste. Apply this directly to the affected nails, as baking soda may help prevent fungus growth. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse.
- Moisturize with Coconut Oil (Optional): Coconut oil has antifungal properties and can keep the skin moisturized.
Tips:
- Repeat this daily for best results.
- Always keep nails clean and trimmed.
Toenail fungus is stubborn, so it might take a few weeks to see improvement. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider.
