A strange circumstance: there are more and more new antifungal pharmaceuticals in pharmacies, but there are no fewer people suffering from fungal diseases. Moreover, statistics clearly show that fungus infection has recently become an epidemic. And this despite the fact that only one in ten patients seek help from a doctor. For some reason, the fungus is not considered a serious infection among the population. Not deadly! And this is the most dangerous illusion.
The fungus can only for the time being "pretend" to be such a harmless misunderstanding, of which only troubles, only a terrible itch yes, sorry, a heavy spirit of the legs in individual cases. Well, another cosmetic defect, in which the nails lose attractiveness, exfoliate and crumble.
In fact, an untreated fungus can then spread to the foot and other parts of the body. A more aggressive infection can easily penetrate through the skin damaged by the fungus, and this is where the real danger lies in the form of incurable skin diseases. It happens that the fungus also penetrates the internal organs of a person, disrupts its activity, which leads to serious consequences and even death in people with weakened immunity.
And you can catch the fungus very easily in the bath, in the sauna, in the swimming pool, through other people's slippers and hygiene items. The general fascination with self-medication with antibiotics also leads to the "frenzy" of the fungus. Well, wearing synthetic stockings and shoes only exacerbates the situation.
In a nutshell, if a nuisance such as nail fungus has happened to you, take treatment immediately.
Only a doctor will provide competent assistance, so we recommend that you always consult with him about methods to get rid of the fungus. But it will not be superfluous to adopt folk recipes for getting rid of nail fungus at home.
Home remedies for nail fungus can be both a good addition to the main treatment and an independent "remedy". Either way, we bring you proven home remedies for nail fungus.
Tar soap against nail fungus
Grind the tar soap on a coarse grater, dilute with water, to which baking soda is added, to a state of medium thick slurry. With the resulting composition, using a stiff brush, wash your nails and feet at night for a week every day, rubbing in the product with fairly strong movements.
This procedure is mandatory throughout the treatment of nail fungus at home.
Vinegar for nail fungus
Dilute the vinegar essence with water in a ratio of 1: 1, add flaxseed flour and knead the dough as cold as plasticine. From the dough, form cake plates according to the number of nails affected by the fungus, carefully place each cake on the affected nail plate and secure it with a plaster or bandage. Leave overnight.
This five-day procedure will lead to the death of the old nail, which will "peel off" from the finger, giving way to a new nail plate.
Another recipe based on vinegar was used in ancient times. Put a whole chicken egg in a glass jar, pour strong vinegar. Wait until the egg is completely dissolved in vinegar, remove the undissolved film from the resulting substance. You won't need it, but vinegar-egg liquid is the miracle cure for nail fungus. Apply it on the nails affected by the fungus morning and evening until the infection leaves you.
Iodine for nail fungus
A tool tested by many on their own experience is ordinary iodine. Pour a drop of medicine on the nail plate at night, sleep in socks. Usually in 10-15 days the fungus disappears.
Another method is to drop some iodine into a basin of warm water and soak the feet in the solution for 10 minutes, then cut off the affected areas of the nail, treat the skin with peroxide and apply adressing with antibacterial ointment. The course of treatment is only 3 procedures. Many people who have used this method point out as another advantage that the effect of the procedure is quite fast.
You can also mix iodine and apple cider vinegar in equal proportions and treat the affected nails. For prevention, you can use neighboring nail plates. Many people in their reviews focus on the fact that to treat nails with onychomycosis and healthy ones, it is necessary to take different discs. After treating a nail with a fungus, it is not necessary to treat neighboring healthy nail plates with the same cotton. This procedure should be performed morning and evening every day for two weeks. After completing the course, at least 10 days should pass, and then you can (if necessary) continue treatment.
Horse sorrel, garlic and lemon against nail fungus
Pass the horse sorrel roots through a meat grinder with a head of garlic and half a lemon. Spread the resulting "mash" on small swabs and apply to sore nails, fix with an adhesive plaster or bandage. Leave overnight. It almost always helps, but try not to get this rather harsh mixture on the skin around the nail. The duration of treatment will be approximately 21 days.
Let these remedies for nail fungus treatment definitely help you! But do not forget that the surest way to get rid of the disease is to consult a doctor in time.
