Holisitic Remedies For Nail Fungus
August 14, 2007
In the last article, I wrote about what nail fungus is, what causes it, and a few things you can do to prevent it.
In this article I’ll tell you the various holistic remedies that I recommended to my friend. You might find a few products in your house, or if you don’t have essential oils you think of purchasing a few so you can try these natural remedies.
Aromatic Foot Bath For Nail Fungus Prevention
6 cups warm water
6 cups Apple Cider Vinegar (I use Braggs)
*4 drops of lavender oil (optional)
*4 drops of tea tree oil (optional)
Directions
Soak your feet in a basin for at least fifteen minutes.
Make sure that you dry your feet thoroughly. One quick way to make sure your feet is to use a hair dryer. When using the hair dryer make sure, you get in between the toes to ensure that your toes are completely dry.
Holistic Recipe For Nail Fungus Prevention
3 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar
3 drops tea tree essential oil
3 drops neem oil
Directions
Shake well and put into a bottle. Store in a cool place.
How To Use
You can add the contents to an eye dropper bottle and apply that way or you can purchase a nail polish bottle and paint it on your toes. Do this two to three times daily.
About the Holistic Ingredients
I only included a few of the ingredients benefits.
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, and it also helps fight infection.
Lavender Essential Oil
Cuts down on the healing time, natural antiseptic, and it’s relaxing.
Neem Oil
Is taken from the Neem tree. It smells strongly of garlic and is extremely effective in killing infection, fighting fungus. I’ve used this in the garden on plants that had fungus. The results were amazing.
This isn’t a quick fix method however it’s a holistic approach to dealing with nail fungus. My friend used the above holistic recipes that I recommended. She also sprayed the insides of her shoes with the an anti-fungal essential oil spray within a few months it was gone.

Yes I do I’ll write an article on the topic later this week.
I tried the footbath when I had nail fungus it worked wonders. I liked the Apple Cider Vinegar the best because it seemed to be a little easier on the skin.
