They began to notice that the toenails change color? Whiten, turn gray, turn brown, and then completely turn green or black? And they thicken and begin to crumble. All this with them makes fungus on the toenails. Treatment with alternative means of this disease will be described in detail in this article.
Most often, the fungus can be earned due to common shoes, barefoot walking on the floor in the pool or gym, that is, in contact with places where the infection was left by another person. Therefore, never go barefoot in public areas or wear other people's shoes. If nevertheless you have earned a fungus on the toenails, treatment with folk remedies will come to the rescue. Of course, you can do with pharmacy drugs, but they are quite expensive, and they are not at hand.
What home remedy comes to mind first? The most famous method is the treatment of nail fungus with vinegar. The procedures described below will help at one time, they will have to be repeated for about a week. Dilute the vinegar (9 parts of water are added to 2 parts). Wet the socks in the resulting solution, put them on, wrap them on top with a plastic bag and leave overnight. You can mix 1 fresh egg, 1 tbsp. l vegetable oil and the same amount of vinegar. It is necessary to put it on its feet for the night, close it with a bag, bandage it and hold it until the morning.
Alternative treatment of foot nail fungus includes the use of thyme grass. An infusion is prepared (4 cups of boiling water in a glass of boiling water), a bandage is moistened with it, with which fingers are wrapped for 2 hours twice a day. The course is a week. If after treatment cracks appear on the fingers, in 1 tsp. untreated infusion add 3 tbsp. l sunflower oil and lubricate sore spots at least 3 times a day. For hands and feet with a fungus, make baths with strong natural coffee (for 10-15 minutes). There is a less flavorful way. At night, you can lubricate the nails (both sick and healthy) with garlic gruel, in the morning they are wiped with vinegar. All these remedies are not too pleasant for others, but health care is more important.
You can not ignore the fungus on the toenails. Treatment with folk remedies sometimes helps, but sometimes it is not very effective. If the infection is not killed, it will spread further, affecting all new tissues. It is easy to get infected again, including from your own boots. At the same time as treatment, it is necessary to throw away or disinfect all shoes, as well as socks and tights. Never wear tight shoes or shoes with sweating feet. Infection spreads more in a humid environment. As already mentioned, do not go barefoot in public places, do not measure shoes without socks. If there is a risk of infection, you can use sprays and aerosols.
Unfortunately, prevention does not always help outsmart the fungus on the toenails. Treatment with folk remedies, as already mentioned, cannot adequately compete with modern drugs. If earlier the rate was from six months to a year, now it is 2-4 months. Especially strong drugs can get rid of the fungus in a matter of weeks. In pharmacies, capsules and tablets are sold that allow you to start treatment from the inside, sprays, as well as antifungal nail polishes and topical patches.
