By Anujj Trehaan

1

Baking soda

Baking soda can absorb moisture that causes fungus to grow. Making a paste with water and applying it to the affected area can help. Rinse after 15-20 minutes.

2

Garlic

Garlic's antifungal agent allicin can prevent fungal growth when consumed or applied. Applying chopped garlic on affected toenails for 30 minutes daily can help.

3

Black tea

Black tea has soothing effects against toenail fungus due to the tannic acid that closes pores on the foot. Soak your foot in cooled black tea for relief.

4

Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar's antifungal properties and acetic acid content can treat foot fungus. Mix with water and essential oils for odor control, and soak your feet for 20 minutes.

5

Tea tree oil

Packed with antifungal and antiseptic properties, tea tree oil has showcased promising results in various studies on toenail fungus treatment, which is why it is an age-old remedy.
