What are actually the causes of nail fungus? Well, actually nail fungus can be an effect of specific activities and conditions, but on the other side it can be a signal of several diseases in our body. There are several causes of nail fungus such as damp and humid atmosphere on the finger area, sweat, tight shoes, water in the public swimming pool, small cuts that open a space between nail bed and nail, and many others. Nail fungus occur because of the development of microorganism in the area. Why most nail fungus occurs in the toe? It is because toe is having more damp and dark area, a perfect place to the microorganisms to grow. Nail fungus is able to show several diseases or disorders like diabetes, poor blood circulation, poor immunity, and many others. If we see from the causes, it shows that people who have nail fungus do not always ones who have less attention to the hygiene. If we learn further, people who are too hygienist can out themselves in the risk of nail fungus, for example, people who love to cut their nails too deep in order to remove the nail maximally will only make small cut that can be the home of the microorganism.
Nail fungus can be solved with medical treatment with both oral and cream application. Well, based on my opinion, consuming chemical medication is as the same as supplying toxin into our body, so it will be better for us to try vitamins or the natural remedies first and make chemical treatment as the last option. One of the recommended treatments to support the other treatment is by consuming multivitamins, especially vitamin C because it will enhance our immunity to the fungi.
When it comes to home remedies, we can use several remedies. The most popular one is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil will remove the nail fungus without any pain. All we need to do is applying the tea tree oil with cotton or simple drop it to the infected parts. It will be better if we apply the tea tree oil when we are about to go sleeping. It becomes the best time since during that time; the tea tree oil will stay in the infected area because we are not doing any activities like walking or washing out feet. It takes several months to feel the maximal outcome, depends on the severity.
Have you ever heard that garlic is the best prevention and curer for cancer and acne? Well, it is because garlic is having a high antioxidant and anti fungal. To cure nail fungus, we can mash a small piece of garlic and apply it in the infected area. It might be quite painful, but it really works. If we can stand with its taste, we can consume some gloves of raw garlic. Well, boiling the garlic will make it taste better and sweet, but it will not give effective result for our nail fungus treatment.
Apple cider vinegar is one of the most recommended home remedies. The application is similar with tea tree oil; we can apply the apple cider vinegar with cotton, drop it, or maybe dip our infected finger to a small bowl of apple cider vinegar.
Used tea is able to make our hair stronger and healthy, not only that, if we apply it on our face, we can remove the acne on our face. What about nail fungus? Well, we can compress the infected nail with a teabag; it will make the fungi move faster. If we love tea, then we can drink three glasses of lemongrass tea.
Don’t be surprised by this last home remedy because it is Vicks Vaporub. Yes, Vicks Vaporub which contains menthol, camphor and eucalyptus is able to stop fungi growth and it does not give any side effect. The application is quite the same with tea tree oil or apple cider vinegar, but it will be better if we wear socks after we apply it when we want to go to sleep, so it will not stick to our sheet.
Those are the home remedies for nail fungus. It is highly recommended to try those effective home remedies instead of using chemical oral medications that are possible to give side effects.
