Toenail fungus, medically known as onychomycosis, is a common condition that can cause thickened, discolored, or brittle nails. While prescription medications are effective, they often come with side effects. Natural remedies, on the other hand, offer a safer, gentler approach to treat and prevent toenail fungus.
Here’s a guide to removing toenail fungus using 100% natural treatments.
1. Tea Tree Oil Treatment
Tea tree oil is a powerful antifungal and antibacterial agent. It penetrates the nail and fights the underlying fungal infection.
How to Use:
- Mix 2–3 drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil.
- Apply the mixture directly to the affected nail using a cotton swab.
- Let it sit for 15–20 minutes, then rinse off.
- Repeat twice daily for best results.
