Homemade Remedies To Stop Nail Fungus... Do They Work?
Some have claimed that nail fungus can be stopped without the need for expensive prescription drugs. We want to know if you have tried any homemade remedies and if it cured your nail fungus.
A growing number of people who have been suffering from ugly nail fungus have reported varying levels of success using homemade anti-fungal solutions. Everything from household cleaning solutions to Vicks Vapor Rub has been said to cure fungus under the nails. Since prescription treatments such as Lamasil and other topical solutions cost a large sum of money it may be worthwhile to try these alternatives as you really have nothing to lose except ugly nail fungus. Here's a quick rundown of some popular homemade treatments that may stop nail fungus.
Vinegar
White distilled vinegar is perhaps the cheapest and easiest household item to use to fight nail fungus. It apparently yields great results so long as you use it several times each day continuously without fail. You can either soak your fingers and toes in a bowl of vinegar or better yet use a small brush to apply it to the affected nails with little fuss.
It is said that the acidic content of vinegar inhibits the growth of fungus and continued use allows a clear and healthy nail to grow. Given how cheap and readily available vinegar is it should be tried as many have reported great results.
Vicks Vapor Rub
The smelly ointment that came in a little blue jar that your Mother used to apply on your chest when you were congested as a child apparently does a really good job at stopping nail fungus. Not sure why it works, but I noticed that turpentine oil is an ingredient in Vick's Vapor Rub and I do recall that after painting one day I used turpentine to wash my hands and noticed the next day that one of my nails that had a fungus infection looked much clearer than before.
Since it does have a distinct smell it is best to apply this onto each fungus infected nail before going to bed and then washing it off the next morning and then follow up by brushing on some vinegar as described above.

This is really encouraging. I have been applying the Vicks Vapor Rub to my toenails for the past month and I can see the clear nail starting to grow at the base!!! It seems to take forever, but I hope this works to kill the nail fungus entirely as it's the most promising out of all the things I've tried. Fingers and toes crossed! |

I am using an oil that contains jojoba and tea tree, and see my pedicure every 5 weeks, so the nails are manageable. But the fungus is still lodged there, although the oil seems to help - some. I tried ythe vinegar several times, but will try again. |

I am fighting a cutaneous fugal infestation with itraconazole but on an asian site they were saying corn meal is a natural anti fungal and that soaking feet in corn meal can help alleviate athletes foot. I started using it in the bath and cornmeal is an excellent scrub and when mixed with water there is an oil that rejuvenates the skin. since my infection is cutaneous I cannot attest to the efficacy of corn meal for toenail fungus but along with vinegar it is worth a try. |
