What is your most effective home treatment for nail fungus?

I have heard of tea tree oil, iodine and Vick's Vapo-rub as possible remedies...anyone else have a suggestion?What is your most effective home treatment for nail fungus?
those are the best ones........try each for a week and see





also...soak foot in very hot water w/epsom salt,lots of it,and see what happens in week.....should kill fungusWhat is your most effective home treatment for nail fungus?
Scrupulous hygiene, without resorting to drugs, is often effective. Twice a day, wash the space between the toes with soap, water, and a cloth. Dry the entire area carefully with a towel, particularly between the toes (despite the pain) and put on clean socks.


Use shoes that allow evaporation of moisture. Avoid shoes with plastic linings. Sandals or canvas sneakers are best. Changing shoes every other day to allow them to dry out is a good idea.





Keeping the feet dry with the use of a powder is helpful in preventing reinfection. Over-the-counter drugs such as Desenex powder or cream may be used. The powder has the virtue of helping keep the toes dry. Tolnaftate (Tinactin, etc.), miconazole (Micatin, etc.), and clotrimazole (Lotrimin, etc.) are effective. The twice-daily application of a 30% aluminum chloride solution has been recommended for its drying and antibacterial properties. You will have to ask your pharmacist to make up the solution, but it is inexpensive.
definitely you need to get rid of fungus!





for me worked very well ZetaClear!

    A common home remedy is the daily soaking of the affected nail in a solution that will kill the fungus. Common soaking solutions include dilute chlorine bleach, household vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide or Listerine mouthwash.





    These solutions should kill the fungus and your nails should heal over time. For maximum effect, this solution should be applied daily.
    If you are really concerned, see a doctor and don't listen to these idiots on Yahoo Answers.

    How can I get rid of white nail fungus underneath my toenail?

    I switched nail salons, and after my last pedicure I notice white nail fungus growing underneath my right toenail.





    How can I get rid of this? Any homeopathic or over the counter remedies?How can I get rid of white nail fungus underneath my toenail?
    There are homeopathic self-help remedies available over-the-counter (approved by the FDA) to use for first-aid and acute care problems. An acute health problem is something that comes on quickly, lasts a short time, and resolves - like a cold, flu, cough, or even PMS as an acute ';exacerbation'; of a chronic problem.





    Toenail fungus is a ';constitutional'; health problem, for which you would need to consult with a classical homeopath. We sit with new clients for 1-2 hours to go through current symptoms (for example, perhaps you also have headaches, or backaches, or menstrual cramps), past health history, family health history, life situation, and general symptoms - like response to weather, sleep patterns, food preferences, etc. From that we research to find a remedy that will restore deep inner harmony to your organism, facilitating healing from the inside-out (where it begins, contrary to appearances).





    http://www.homeopathicdirectory.com is the national directory for any homeopath certified in N. America. Around the world, you'd have to be sure a homeopath has similar qualifications. Because it's so readily available, people misunderstand what homeopathy is. Even practitioners who claim to offer homeopathy often have a consumer-level awareness. Look for someone certified whose practice is 100% classical homeopathy - no acupuncture, kinesiology (muscle testing), etc.





    It might spontaneously resolve if you're otherwise in good health. If not, though, and other toenails become involved, think about calling a homeopath.How can I get rid of white nail fungus underneath my toenail?

    I have noticed for quite some time now that my nail bed is becoming thicker and thicker. Every time I clip my toe nail I try to go deeper so that the nail grows nicely, however it grows really thick. I don't know what to do. I thought clipping it deeper would make it grow smooth however the fugus I suppose has gotten inside and now its hard to clip my toe nail.

    i hada fungus starting in two toenails about 5 yrs ago. The fungus is very deep rooted, so the only real way to get rid of it is to take medication for about 3 months. I have been clear eversince.





    Homeremedies really dont work because you can only put them on the surface.





    see a dermatologist
    My husband has a big toe nail exactly the same. We have recently bought Curanail to treat it. You get 3 months supply of stuff and, once a week, you file the nail and paint this stuff on it. It does state that, because nails grow so slowly, it does take a while. Finger nails up to 6 months and toe nails 9 - 12 months so it is not a quick fix.


    Boots the chemist were wanting over 拢20 for Curanail but I searched online and got it for 拢13.98.
    Vicks vapour rub is supposed to be good for fungal toenails. It needs to be applied once or twice a day for months on end though. I started treating mine with this but couldn't keep it up and am now going to get a prescription instead.
    They sell fungal nail treatments at the pharmacy. I know if nothing you could use as a home remedy.


    Treatment takes about 6 months.

    I used to wear fake nail tips and the worst infection I ever got was the one time I had my nails done at a salon! Nothing OTC helped at all. Finally, I put a few ounces of bleach in a jar and dipped my nails 3 times a day. The green color faded and the nails grew out clean.





    Good luck and take care!
