6. Oregano oil
The thymol in oregano oil has antifungal properties that are effective in treating nail fungus. All you have to do is apply a couple of drops on the nail two times a day and your fungus will begin to disappear.
7. Probiotics
When you find a toenail fungus remedy that works for you, add a probiotic supplement to your diet to make sure that you have all methods of healing covered.
8. Corn meal
The reason that corn meal works in treating nail fungus is because it does not affect the body, but it is able to kill Candida. Find a container in which you can place either your affected foot or both feet and add a cup of cornmeal with two quarts of water. The cornmeal needs to soak for about an hour before submerging your feet. You can then soak your feet for about a half hour as often as you like.
9. Baking soda
Baking soda is alkaline, which keeps toenail fungus from spreading. You can soak your feet in baking soda by itself or combine it borax to create a strong fungicide. Mix equal parts with a little water and rub it onto the affected areas. You can repeat this two times a day.
10. Coconut oil
You will see some relief from your toenail fungus if you put a thin coat of coconut oil on the area and let it set for about 15 minutes.
