Began to notice that the toenails change color? White, gray, brown, and then completely become green or black? And they thicken and begin to crumble. All this with them makes the fungus on the nails of the feet. Treatment of folk remedies for this disease will be described in detail in this article.
Most of the fungus can be earned because of overall footwear, walking barefoot on the floor in the pool or gym, that is, by contacting the places on which the infection has remained from another person. Therefore, never walk barefoot in public areas and do not wear someone else's shoes. If, nevertheless, you have earned a fungus on the nails of your feet, treatment with folk remedies will come to the rescue. Of course, you can dispense with chemotherapy drugs, but they are quite expensive, and they are not at hand.
What kind of home remedy first comes to mind? The most famous method is the treatment of nail fungus with vinegar. The procedures described below will not help at once, they will have to be repeated about a week. Dilute the vinegar (9 parts of water are added to 2 parts). Wet socks in the resulting solution, put them on, wrap them on top with a plastic bag and leave them 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 at night, close it with a packet, bandage it and keep it until the morning.
Folk treatment of foot nail fungus includes the use of herb thyme. Preparing the infusion (a glass of boiling water 4 tablespoons), they moistened a bandage, which wraps the fingers for 2 hours twice a day. Course - a week. If after treatment on the fingers appear cracks, in 1 tsp. Unprocessed 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 also a less fragrant way. At night you can lubricate the nails (both sick and healthy) with garlic cloves, in the morning they are wiped with vinegar. All these tools are not very pleasant for others, but taking care of health 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 shoes. Simultaneously with the treatment, it is necessary to discard or disinfect all shoes, as well as socks and pantyhose. Never walk in tight shoes and in the one in which feet are sweating. Infection is more prevalent in a humid environment. As already mentioned, do not walk in public places barefoot, 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 outwit the fungus on the nails of the legs. Treatment with folk remedies, as already mentioned, can not adequately compete with modern drugs. If earlier the rate was from six months to a year, now it's 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 treatment to start from the inside, sprays, as well as antifungal nail polishes and local patches.
