Is there a home remedy that actually helps cure/get-rid-of nail fungus?

My small toe, I guess it's the ';pinky toe'; turned yellow and know it is gray/white. I am a very clean person so this fungus didn't seem right... Well, I wanted to know if there are effective alternates to cure it. I don't want to take a medicine that can damage my liver, but I don't want an ugly toenail either.Is there a home remedy that actually helps cure/get-rid-of nail fungus?
Toe nail fungus remedy using tea tree oil


Tea tree oil is a potent natural antiseptic and fungicide that will help fight your fungus. Apply undiluted tea tree oil with olive oil to the affected toe nail. Alternatively you can put few drops of tea tree oil on toenails and rub it thoroughly every day.





Using Listerine mouthwash


Soak your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toe nails looking healthy.





Curing toe nail fungus using warm water and natural apple cider vinegar


Soak your toenails for 15 - 20 minutes in basin full of warm water and natural apple cider vinegar mixed in equal proportion. When done, dry your toenails thoroughly. Use a hair dryer on warm setting to absorb all the moisture in and around the toes





Tea tree oil and Lavender oil


Put equal amount of tea tree oil and lavender oil on a cotton ball or swab. Dab it under the top edge of the toe nail and surrounding area 2 or 3 times a day. Tea tree oil is natural antibiotic and lavender will help fight the infection and prevent skin irritation





Using Oregano and Olive oil


Blend 2 drops of Oregano essential oil with a tsp of olive oil. Apply this mixture on the affected area daily for NOT more than three weeks. Oregano essential oil has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiparasitical, antiviral, analgesic and antifungal properties





AHA creams


Lather AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) creams on to your feet before going to bed. This will flush the rough scaly skin from your feet that is more prone to growing fungus

This is not something you'll want to ignore too long but if it hasn't gotten too bad you can usually clear it up by applying teatree oil or soaking in white vinegar. You should see improvement within in a few days. If you don't then I would get the prescription med from the doctor. Unless your liver is already damaged or diseased, short-term use won't cause long term damage to your liver so no worries.
