You mean 'nail fungus'?? Well I heard that putting Vicks Vapor Rub on the nails daily helps a lot.

Using garlic is a highly effective, not to mention inexpensive, way to fight even the most persistent cases of toenail fungus. Another product that makes garlic treatment easy is known as garlic oil ointment. You may be able to find this effective formula in health food stores, where it would be sold chilled. If not, it is simple to make and can be stored in your refrigerator for up to one month. It is made by combining one tablespoon of fresh chopped garlic cloves, three tablespoons of coconut oil and one tablespoon of olive oil.

The only downside to using this home remedy for toenail fungus is that it may stain the nail a yellow color which makes the nail look unpleasant. This will go away with time, however it is hard to monitor the progress of new clear nail growing out when the solution will also stain the healthy nail yellow.

When using garlic or any other treatment for your toenail fungus, the success of the treatment depends entirely on your willingness to faithfully treat the toenail every day and to continue your chosen course of therapy for a considerable amount of time. It is best to treat toenail fungus or nail fungus from the inside out. Taking fresh garlic cloves, garlic pills or a super concentrated spagyric formula is most effective. Unfortunately, because the cure for toenail fungus can take six months or more, many people choose to live with it rather than take measures to combat it. The treatment of toenail fungus is lengthy due to the fact that the treatment must continue even after the fungus has died and the toenail begins to clear. The fungus is not completely cured until the infected portion of the toenail has completely grown out. Treatment internally and externally should then continue for at least 3-4 weeks to make sure it does not come back.

Mix in basic oil (preferably calendula) essential oil of oregano and teatree. For one teaspoon of basic oil use 4 drops of each essential oil. Massage your nails with this. This remedy is both powerfull and effective, because these essential oils destroy fungi immediately. But bare in mind that it depends on the stage your fungus condition illness is, weather you´ll be cured very very soon or it will take more.

I know that when my wife had toenail fungus, she bathed her feet in the vinegar water. Just take about 1/2 cup of vinegar to every cup of water. Put it in a bowl and soak your feet. Pretty simple, inexpensive, and quick, but kinda smelly. Make sure you wash your feet with soap and water afterwards. :)
