About 9 years ago he ran a column recommending Pau d’Arco tea. You brew an extra strong tea, using 2 or 3 teabags per cup of water. Let cool until just comfortably warm & soak the feet in it for 10 minutes or until water feels cold. Pour into a covered container and refrigerate to reuse. After 3-4 uses, discard and brew a fresh batch. Use every day or 2x daily. Takes a minimum of 3 months but it works and its cheap and it has no side effects.
I have had this toe nail fungus for a while. I have tried killing it by putting Vicks Vapor Rub on it for weeks … this has not worked. Short of a prescription … does anyone know of a home remedy that will kill this fungus?
Please be specific in killing this toe fungus? Do I apply Vicks Vapor Rub non-stop for several months (24/7) … do I drink the Distilled Vinegar? Put it on my feet? I have tried the Vicks Vapor Rub for about two months now and it seems to have done nothing. I have also tried putting Colloidal Silver on it … again, nothing. Please be specific in your answers and thank you.
There isn’t one. Lots of products out there, but none will work since it is not a topical issue that causes the nail fungus.
The prescription will only knock it out, but future exposure will mean the fungus can come back. Prescription also has possible liver issues.
So, best to live with it unless it hurts.
any home remedies or products that might help?
fungus might be from false nails and water..
ewwww!!!! go to the doctor!!
which I hear is very bad for your liver. I have tried peroxide and there is a slight improvement but some must be other remedies.
File the tops of your nails and apply an anti fungus cream. Also, soak your feet in warm water with a little bleach added to it.
Also I know of someone who got rid of nail fungus by using an anti fungus shower spray on her nails.
I’ve had this one toe nail fungus for over 8 years and nothing can get rid of it. I’ve tried a few things and nothing works. Can you help please?
Beleive it or not, you cam soak the toe in apple cider vinegar
a couple times a day. It kills the fungus.
it seems like i saw a story on tv but, i could not find it . pouring some thing on the nails ………either store bought or is it homemade ????????
i was told months ago by the podiatrist that the prescription stuff would soon be over the counter ……………still waiting
There are several treatments that can work on fungus in nails, but most require a prescription from a doctor. You can ask a pharmacist for advice and they should be able to help the best since they know the most about all the medications and how effective they are. It is very difficult to get rid of fungus under nails, and if it is really bad, sometimes the nail is removed. There are pills that work the best and have to be taken either continuously for 4-6weeks or others that are taken for one week each month for 3-6months, depending on how bad a case one has.
rub it with tea tree oil and colloidal silver. take multi vitamins to boost your immune system so it can help fight off the infection
lamisil, but its very expensive, vicks vapo rub works just as well and to prevent the fungus wear shoes that fit right shoes that are too tight can cause fungus.
Total remedy for nail root fungus
Apply anti fungal ointment three times daily. Always keep the hand dry. Even if you treat the nail infection completely, it may come back at any time. So please continue to apply ointment some days more.
