Step 1: Prepare the Soak
- Fill a small basin with warm water — enough to cover your toes.
- Add apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil to the water.
- Soak your feet for 15–20 minutes.
- Dry your feet thoroughly afterward — moisture feeds fungus!
Step 2: Apply Baking Soda Paste
- In a small bowl, mix baking soda with a few drops of water to form a thick paste.
- Apply the paste directly onto the affected nail(s).
- Leave it on for 10–15 minutes, then rinse off and dry completely.
How Often to Do This:
- Repeat this process once daily (preferably in the evening).
- You may start seeing results in 2–4 weeks, depending on severity.
- Continue daily use for at least 6–8 weeks to ensure total elimination.
Why This Works:
- Apple cider vinegar creates an acidic environment that kills fungus and bacteria.
- Tea tree oil is a powerful antifungal and antiseptic that penetrates deep into the nail.
- Baking soda helps dry out the fungus and prevents it from spreading.
Tips for Faster Healing:
- Trim your nails regularly and file down thickened areas.
- Disinfect nail tools and socks after each use.
- Wear breathable, open-toe shoes or moisture-wicking socks.
- Avoid walking barefoot in public areas like gyms or pools.
When to See a Doctor:
If the fungus spreads, becomes painful, or you have diabetes or circulation issues, consult a podiatrist or healthcare provider.
