10. Orange Oil
Orange oil is a natural anti-fungal that works wonders when it comes to killing toenail fungus. Use a dropper and apply two or three drops of orange essential oil to the infected nails. Be sure to rub some in-between the toes and into the surround tissue so the fungus doesn’t move from one toe to another. For some people with sensitive skin, using orange oil undiluted irritates their skin. If this happens to you, dilute it with a one to one ratio of a carrier oil such as almond oil or olive oil.
11. Olive Leaf Extract
This is a terrific option for killing toenail fungus. This option works from the inside out. Take olive leaf extract as a supplement. It has powerful anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral compounds, so it can not only kill that fungus, but it might help stop you from catching a cold or flu this winter!
Olive leaf is also a strong body detoxifier, so if you are not used to consuming it, you might find you feel some discomfort for a few days while your body becomes accustomed to it and removes toxins. If you feel too uncomfortable, lower your dosage for a few days until you start to feel more normal.

12. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is both a powerful antiseptic as well as a fungicidal. To use tea tree oil, first wash your feet, and then apply some rubbing alcohol to the affected nails. Once your feet are dry, apply a few drops of undiluted tea tree oil directly to the nail. After 10 or 15 minutes, scrub the top of the nail with an old toothbrush. Repeat daily until there is no more sign of infection.
The effectiveness and speed of these natural remedies will depend a great deal on their proper application and the frequency with which they are used. Most of these remedies take 4 to 6 weeks to see results so be patient. With some persistence, and patience, your toenail fungus should be history by the time summer rolls around.
