Nail fungus is not only annoying but also painful. It is characterized by inflammation, pain, swelling of the finger, yellowing and cracking of the nail or nails. This mold appears for various reasons. Some of them are weak immunity, excessive sweating, hygiene, synthetic socks and exposure to humidity.
Even foot treatments such as pedicures can be considered a cause of nail fungus. This happens because the tools used for these treatments are not properly sterilized. In addition to the relevant medications that have side effects, you can also use some medicinal plants, natural oils, fruit juices and others that solve this problem.
Apple cider vinegar
AgroWeb.org advises you to make a foot bath by mixing one cup of apple cider vinegar and one cup of coarse salt in 6 cups of warm water.
You should do the foot bath twice a day for at least 30 minutes.
Orange Essential Oil
You can use this essential oil every day to paint your nails and cure the infection. Paint your nails and keep your feet with oil for at least an hour. AgroWeb.org points out that orange essential oil can be too strong for people with sensitive skin, so in this case you can mix it with olive oil.
Corn flour
Corn itself contains a type of mold that does no harm to humans but is destructive to most parasites that cause infection in humans. Mix a cup of coarsely ground flour and 2 liters of water.
After an hour, put the infected foot in this solution and keep it for half an hour or more.
AgroWeb.org advises you to repeat this cure as many times as you want.
Baking soda
Mold needs an acidic environment to fully erupt.
Baking soda prevents this.
Mix it with water and then apply this paste on the infected nail 3-4 times a day.
Coconut oil
Apply a thin layer of coconut oil on the infected nail and keep it for at least 15 minutes.
This oil is great for the skin so you can use it as often as you want.
Oregano oil
Oregano oil is effective against some types of mold. Mix a few drops of oregano oil in a teaspoon of olive oil and apply to the infected nail.
Probiotics
Disruption of the balance of bacteria in the stomach creates a favorable environment for many bacteria and infections. If you are prone to mold, AgroWeb.org advises you to also consider taking additional probiotics with a doctor's recommendation./AgroWeb.org
