So, is There a Home Remedy for Foot Fungus? Well, the simple answer is Yes…and No!
How can you say “No”? With all of the supposed “cures” on the market, it would seem that clearing any type of foot fungus, whether in the nails on under the skin, is as simple as applying a cream or taking a pill. Isn’t there a home remedy for foot fungus that is as effective as these treatments? Unfortunately, Gracie, it just ain’t so! At least, not in the way you think…
The fact is, nothing you take, either topically or internally, over-the counter or by prescription, will effectively kill the fungus that is causing your infection. Once the fungus has invaded your cells (skin or nail), the only way to kill the fungus is to kill the cell. That, of course, is unacceptable.
So, how can all of these treatments work? Well, it’s not by killing the fungus. That’s for sure!
Actually, these treatments target new, healthy cells as they form. They work to make these cells resistant to the fungus, causing them to avoid getting infected in the first place. Then, over a period of time, your body naturally sheds the infected cells, and the new unaffected cells take their place. From our Human point of view, it would seem as if the infection is slowly being cleared, but, as we now know, the reality is that the old, infected cells are being replaced by new cells that are not allowing the fungus to invade and infect them.
Now, back to our original question…Is there a home remedy for foot fungus?
- No! There is no home remedy that will cure foot fungus!
- Yes! There are ways to accomplish the same results as the commercial treatments that are being sold today.
Two of the most popular, and, most effective, home remedies are distilled vinegar and tea tree oil. Either will, over time, help new cells to repel the foot fungus’ attacks and replace the infected cells that your body is shedding naturally.
Treatment involves bathing the affected area two to three times a day with the vinegar or tea tree oil. If you are fighting toenail fungus, concentrate on the bottom edge of the toenail, where it comes out from under the skin. These are the new cells that will eventually become the entire nail. The nail that is already exposed is lost, and our goal is to replace it with new, healthy nail cells. This starts the treatment at the source….
Now, the (relatively) bad news. For any treatment to be effective, it must be continued until all of the infected cells are gone. This is true for commercial treatments as well as home remedies. Clearing infections of the skin can take from four to six weeks, and toenail (or, fingernail) infections can take up to 12 months to clear. Missing even one day of treatment can allow non-resistant cells to form, and the fungus can have a completely new place to start!
