Nail Fungus Home Remedies

Nail fungus is quite common, and is caused when tiny organisms infect the fingernails and toe nails.  Sometimes it becomes necessary to seek medical assistance, although you might try a few simple home remedies first. There are several common home remedies for nail fungus.

Vinegar is commonly used for treating nail fungus. What’s highly recommended is  apple cider vinegar, though any distilled white vinegar would do. All that’s needed is to soak the infected nail into the solution for approximately 20 minutes and then thoroughly dry it. This should be done twice daily, in the morning and before going to bed, until the symptoms disappear completely.

Rubbing Alcohol – Another simple remedy found in every home is rubbing alcohol. Simply soak the infected nail in rubbing alcohol for 20 minutes, then thoroughly dry the nail. This has to be done twice daily, once in the morning and once before going to bed until the nail fungus is healed.

You can also use hydrogen peroxide (3%), just soak the infected nail in a pure hydrogen peroxide solution (3%) for 20 minutes. If the pure solution is too strong you can mix it proportionately with water. Do this once in the morning and then once before bedtime on a daily basis until the nail fungus is healed.

Listerine can also be used in treating nail fungus, just soak the infected nail in a Listerine solution for 20 minutes. This has to be done twice a day until the infection is gone; the antiseptic in Listerine will help get rid of the fungus.  Note:  I have to disclaim this; I’ve read multiple reports that this does not work!

Another home remedy is vicks vaporub. No strong evidence is found to conclude that vics vaporub eliminates the fungus but it may stop the growth. Just apply vicks vaporub on the infected nail and then wait for it to outgrow to be replaced by a new one.

Personally, I’ve tried a few of these home remedies and never had a success with any of them.  True, it’s made me feel better to at least try, but none of them have worked for me. None of them can hurt anything other than to prolong the healing process.  I have found that Zetaclear has worked for me, and any time that I start getting a nail fungus, I head straight for the Zetaclear!
