Sea salt
Dissolve a tablespoon of sea salt in a glass of water. Apply this solution on the nails with fungus several times a day. Sea salt is excellent for combating fungi.
Aloe vera
Since aloe vera is good for everything, it is good for fungi too. You have to do it naturally. Cut a piece of the plant and apply the slime that comes out of it directly to the fungus, let it dry and that’s it! You can repeat this procedure several times a day.
Tea tree oil
Mix 2 tbs of olive oil with 2 tbs of tea tree oil. Stir and apply to the affected area twice daily.
Garlic
Of course, garlic could not be missing from this list. Boil 4 garlic cloves, let the water get cool down and dip your feet in it for 10 minutes. Repeat daily for several weeks.
Lemon
The lemon remedy is very easy. Squeeze a couple of lemons and soak your toenails in the juice for a few minutes, repeat for several days, until you see the fungi disappear.
Apple cider vinegar
Put your feet in warm water and add a splash of apple cider vinegar. Keep them there for 10 minutes, dry them thoroughly and repeat every day. If the vinegar irritates your skin, then reduce the frequency.
