NAILS

FOR NAILS:

1. Antiperspirant
The fungus thrives well in moist and dark environments, so to keep your feet from sweating too much, apply unscented antiperspirant on it, especially if you wear closed-shoes for most of the day. This will keep your feet sweat-free, thus controlling the growth of your fungus.

2. Tea tree oil
Tea tree oil has powerful antiseptic and antifungal properties. Just rub a few drops of the oil on your toes and you're ready to go. You can do this a couple of times throughout the day.

3. Tea tree oil and lavender oil
You can put a few drops of tea tree oil and an equal amount of lavender oil on a cotton ball and apply it on your toenails. The tea tree oil will help fight the fungal infection while lavender oil will prevent irritation.

4. Listerine mouthwash
You can soak your feet in a basin of Listerine mouthwash . Listerine is a very good antiseptic, which is effective in fighting the infection. Some would recommend using a vinegar and Listerine tandem,, because you will see results faster this way.
