Question: Is there a natural cure for nail fungus?
Answer: There are many home remedies for nail fungus but depending on how far along your fungus is, you may need medicine like Lamisil to combat the fungus internally. Some remedies I know of is mixing vinegar and listerine in a 50/50 solution and using a cotton bus (q-tip) to rub the solution all over the nail and the surrounding area. Another method is to dab your affected nail with tea tree oil. You can probably find this at a pharmacy. It's a natural antiseptic, germicide, antibacterial, fungicide. This method has had a lot more success as per some articles I've read online. My girlfriend had a badly infected big toe. It was hurting so bad, she couldn't wear a shoe or even put on a pair of socks. After finding some tea tree oil, she started applying it to her nail/toe every morning and night. In a few days, the pain went away and the toe didn't itch anymore. She still puts it on daily because it looks like the fungus did it's damage and she may be losing her big toenail. That's OK...a new one will grow back eventually.
