Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has antifungal properties and helps balance the pH of the skin and nails, making it harder for fungus to thrive.
How to use:
Mix equal parts ACV and water in a basin.
Soak your feet for 15–20 minutes daily.
Dry your feet thoroughly after soaking.
Repeat daily until you see improvements in the nail’s appearance.
3. Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide Paste
Baking soda absorbs moisture and helps neutralize foot odor, while hydrogen peroxide is an antifungal and antibacterial agent that can kill fungal spores.
How to use:
Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to form a paste.
Apply the paste to the affected nail and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and dry the area.
Repeat once daily for best results.
4. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil contains caprylic acid, which disrupts the cell membrane of the fungus, helping to eliminate it. It also moisturizes and protects the skin around the nail.
