Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 10 drops tea tree essential oil
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- Optional: 1 teaspoon oregano oil
Instructions
- Prepare the soaking solution:
In a small bowl, mix apple cider vinegar and warm water (enough to soak your feet or nails). Soak your affected nails for 15-20 minutes daily. - Garlic application:
Crush or finely mince the garlic cloves. Mix minced garlic with coconut oil to form a paste. Apply this paste directly to the affected nails. Garlic has natural antifungal properties. - Tea tree oil treatment:
After soaking and applying the garlic paste, dry your nails thoroughly. Then, apply tea tree essential oil directly onto the affected nails using a cotton swab. Tea tree oil is known for its antifungal and antiseptic qualities. - Baking soda paste:
Make a paste by mixing baking soda with a little water. Apply this paste on your nails and leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing off. Baking soda helps neutralize fungal growth. - Oregano oil boost (optional):
For stubborn cases, add a few drops of oregano oil to the tea tree oil application for enhanced antifungal effects. - Repeat daily:
Consistency is key. Follow this routine daily for at least 4-6 weeks or until you notice improvement. Keep your feet dry and clean throughout the treatment.
