Get Rid Of Toenail Fungus With These 4 Easy Home Remedies

home remedies to get rid of toenail fungus that actually work yes I am filming this video I know I have a bit of a reputation as being one to come on here and poo poo home remedies and natural stuff tonal fungus is a pain quite literally it can be painful to have tonal fungus if you have diabetes pore circulation a weakened immune system it actually can put you at risk for little infections as well other infections that can end up being quite serious so it's nothing to play around with but let me tell you treating

tonal fungus is is tough uh for a few reasons where it is up in the toenail is actually difficult to access with topical medications that's why often times oral medications are needed to clear it up it's a kind of thing that comes back over and over again cuz the little fungus can be pretty hearty tonial fungus can be caused by dermatophytes most commonly a troyen rubrum or sometimes troyen mighties but also can be caused by Canada yeast now let's get our expectations set from the get-go these things there are research studies to support their efficacy

but they're not going to cure in most cases tonal fungus they may help clear it a bit and if you are using topical or oral medications they may help those things work better for the most part these things have been shown to in some cases be as effective as certain antifungal treatments but for the most part they have not been compared to the most evidence-based treatments that we have so keep that in mind okay expectations are key I would never tell somebody to rely solely on these things I would encourage medications about 133% of the

general population deals with toenail fungus and here's one of the reasons why it's so annoying in addition to the way the toenails end up looking bothers people it's uncomfortable but toenails they grow kind of slowly takes 12 to 18 months to grow out your toenails but when you have a toenail fungus the TOA nail fungus actually slows down the rate of nail growth even further so it's a journey okay it's a journey what can you do at home though to help clear it up simple effective home remedies this one's going to shock you because I

often am like stay away from that tea tree oil well tea tree oil is an essential oil tea tree oil is not one single entity there's over a 100 different compounds in tea tree oil and there can be a lot of variability from batch to batch of tea tree oil season to season Etc but there is a randomized double blind study that compared tea tree oil applied to the Nails Plus debed M with um an antifungal 1% clol plus deedman so deedman is them going in there and scraping out some of the fungal stuff from

the nail um after 6 months of doing that the tea tree oil group got just as good of results as the clol group now clol isn't always the best thing for tonal fungus but in this case they were equal when it comes to tea tree oil though you got to be careful don't just go out and buy tea tree essential oil and go paint it on there because it can cause a burn it's a common cause of contact dermatitis but they do sell toenail products foot creams with tea tree oil I would suggest using those

if you're motivated to do so yall know I'm a huge fan of Carousel foot ointment Carousel makes a tea tree oil nail lacquer here's why I like it yes it has a tea tree oil in it but it also has Ura Ura is really good for supporting the needs of a toenail afflicted by dermatophytes because it helps cut down on the scaly flaky stuff that is essentially food for the fungus it hydrates the nail and improves the health of the nail and ultimately it also helps improve penetration of nail treatments whether it be the compounds

in tea tree oil or other topical antifungals that you're using tea tree oil compounds are known to be antibac bacterial toenail fungus is not a bacterial infection it is a fungal infection we're not super confident that it is the best thing but it's definitely something that you could try at home that is somewhat evidence-based not robustly evidence-based but there is some research there keep in mind contact dermatitis to tea tree oil definitely happens more common if you just got the pure oil and painted it on there but can happen from tea tree oil and products

as well so just keep that in mind allergic and irritation reactions are possible so be aware of that but otherwise it's a safe intervention this next one we can talk about it but man ozonized sunflower oiles reacting ozone 03 with sunflower oil and this turns into this kind of oily petroleum jelly esque concoction and apparently in Cuba this is something that is used to treat tonial fungus and there's a little bit of clinical research to support its Effy so I actually had never heard of this I only learned about it in preparing for this video

so I went on Amazon as one does looking to Source things to try out and I found ozonized uh sunflower oil from this brand puro3 clinical studies showed that it was actually better than an antifungal called ketoconazol and that the toenails remain clear for 3 months relapses are common but at least out to 3 months there appear to be no relapses with this ozonized sunflower oil so I went on Amazon and I bought ozonized sunflower oil from this brand pure3 in order to use this you want to apply it to the toenails under the nails

and between the toes as well the little spaces between the toes because these fungi they can take up shop in the spaces between your toes if you use it daily you may see your toenails turn a corner that being said it's kind of oily um it was described as petroleum jelly like but it's more oily let me tell you this stuff has the most off-putting odor I have ever encountered um when you first open it up and smell it it's not that offensive but it really really lingers it's almost like this metallic Aroma kind of

makes you feel like you're really nauseous and about to vomit it it makes I can't describe it it's almost this metallic like Aroma to it that makes me feel very nauseous so buy or beware if you want to try this out it stinks it smells really like now if you have toenail fungus put some gloves on and put it on with gloves that way you don't have to smell it on your hands and also you reduce the risk of transferring that toenail fungus to your hands the third less foul smelling intervention that is is another

mind blow is Listerine Listerine original the gold one specifically they have a like Listerine I mean it's America right we can't just have Lister the original we have to have like 75 different iterations of Listerine get the original one the gold one it's got something called thol in it which is actually anti-fungal and this has been shown to really help with toenail fungus how do you use it you want to do a foot soap you want to fill a basin with the gold listerin to a point where you can submerge your toes and have your

toes be covered and your toenails be covered you want to soak in that for about 15 minutes do this 3 to four times a week and it really can help in reducing onicomicosis last but not least is vix Vapor Rub I know shocker similar to Listerine it's got the thymol in it it also has menthol and camper and oil of eucalyptus those things may also offer some antifungal benefit as well take a cotton swab dip it in the vix Vapor Rub and paint it on the nails and then apply it around the nail under the

nail really get like good coverage and do this daily after several months you may see your toenails turn a corner so those are some home remedies the other tip that I have is keep your toenails trimmed short if you're dealing with toenail fungus in particular because that will help with the growth you know you want your nails to grow out to clear out that infection and again that's a slow process keep them cut short if your toenails are long and they have that mechanical trauma of the nail banging into your shoe it'll actually slow down

nail growth furthermore the longer the nail the more territory for that fungus to thrive so make sure you keep your nails trimmed short that's another thing that can really help a lot also try and keep your feet dry change out of sweaty socks frequently because fungus thrives in a moist humid environment make sure that your shoes fit well that you're not getting a lot of friction which creates more irritation and moisture and creates a more favorable environment for that foot fungus and toenail fungus don't share your shoes or socks with other people cuz you can

transfer this to them all right guys so so those are some home remedies for tonal fungus if you want to give them a try they do have a little bit of research to back them up but again don't expect miracal set your expectations going in and it requires patience because toenails in general they are a slow growing Beast not to mention they are harboring onicomicosis it's going to be even slower I hope this video was informative I have a video on how to get rid of athletes foot foot fungus same Little Critter but maybe it's

slightly different approach I'm going to put that video on the ins slate watch it next because if you have toenail fungus there's a good chance that you could also have foot fungus so watch that one next but if you guys like this video give it a thumbs up share it with your friends and as always don't forget sunscreen And subscribe I'll talk to you guys tomorrow bye [Music]
