Ingredients:
4 tablespoons of baking soda
1 quart of warm water
Optional: a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil
Instructions:
Dissolve the baking soda in warm water in a basin or foot bath.
Soak your feet for 15-20 minutes.
Make sure to dry your feet completely afterward, especially between the toes.
Repeat this process daily for at least 2 weeks for visible improvement.
3. Baking Soda and Vinegar Combo
Combining baking soda with vinegar creates a powerful natural remedy. Vinegar helps kill the fungus, while baking soda prevents it from spreading.
Ingredients:
1 cup of white vinegar
2-3 tablespoons of baking soda
1 quart of water
Instructions:
Start by soaking your feet in a solution of white vinegar and water (1 cup vinegar to 1 quart water) for 10 minutes.
Dry your feet thoroughly, then apply the baking soda paste (as described above).
Let the paste sit on your nails for about 15 minutes before rinsing off.
Repeat this process daily for a few weeks for optimal results.
Tips for Success:
Always dry your feet thoroughly after each treatment to prevent moisture buildup, which can encourage fungal growth.
Keep your toenails trimmed and clean to help the treatment penetrate better.
Wear breathable, moisture-wicking socks and avoid tight shoes that trap moisture.
Conclusion
Using baking soda as a natural remedy for toenail fungus is an effective and affordable solution. With consistent application, you can see a noticeable improvement in the health and appearance of your nails. Stick with the treatment and combine it with good foot hygiene to keep toenail fungus at bay for good!
