How to Use Garlic for Nail Fungus
You can use garlic to treat nail fungus in two ways:
Garlic Paste Treatment:
Crush 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic into a fine paste.
Apply the paste to the affected nail.
Cover with a bandage.
Leave it on for 30 minutes.
Rinse off and dry thoroughly.
Garlic Oil Soak:
Heat a small amount of olive oil and add crushed garlic cloves.
Allow the mixture to cool to a warm, but comfortable temperature.
Soak the affected nail in the garlic oil for 15-20 minutes.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Tips for Best Results
Consistency is Key: Regular application is crucial for seeing results. Apply the treatment daily until the infection clears.
Protect Your Skin: Garlic can cause irritation or a burning sensation. If you experience discomfort, reduce the frequency or dilute the garlic with oil.
Keep Nails Clean and Dry: Fungi thrive in moist environments, so it’s essential to maintain good hygiene and keep your nails dry.
