How To Fix Toenail Fungus Naturally

August 13, 2024 Dr Livingood

Toe fungus is a fun topic to talk about, but less fun to deal with. Luckily, I’m going to go over 8 natural remedies that you can use to get rid of toe fungus fast.

Usually toe fungus is caused by something that’s happening inside of the body. There’s an overgrowth, an internal fungus has gotten out of control, and it’s throwing off the entire system.

Toe fungus may show up in the damp areas of your feet, but it can reside in your gut without you even knowing it. To fix this, you have to start by addressing the cause.

Gut Reset

The best way to address the inside is by taking care of your digestive health through a gut reset.

It resets the environment, health, permeability, and sensitivity of the gut.

After you flush all of the toxins out, you seal the gut back up so it can filter properly.

Then you reintroduce food that doesn’t irritate the gut and build up enzymes and probiotics that will support gut health.

Throughout this process, you can add in some simple herbs, to get your candida (a kind of yeast) under control.

That cleanse is part of the gut reset, but you can use it to reduce candida in your body anytime.

If you’re just starting out, I don’t recommend jumping straight into a gut reset.

Lifestyle Changes

Instead, you should get your lifestyle habits under control first, because consuming sugar is what usually creates candida imbalances.

Extra weight creates candida imbalances, and candida imbalances create extra weight. Antibiotic and drug use can also create imbalances.

This is why I recommend 90 days of starting to change these lifestyle habits before you do an advanced gut reset.

But what can you do specifically on the area of skin that has a fungus?

Natural Topical Treatments for Nail Fungus

Tea Tree Oil

I like using tea tree oil for any skin infections. You can use a brush, dropper, or cotton ball put it on your feet at night, and let it air out.

Remember that you’ll need to stick with this or any of these other remedies, for at least 2 weeks to see any changes.

Colloidal Silver

I use colloidal silver for sore throats or any kind of infection. You can find one that comes in a bottle to spray directly onto your feet.

You can use a lot of it if you want, put socks on, and let it marinate in that area.

The best part about the silver serum is that it can be used for multiple things, which is why it’s a big part of my wellness cabinet.

Oregano Oil

You can put the oil straight onto the area, or you can take it internally.

You could also get a little jar of it, but be careful, because it stinks!

Hydrogen Peroxide & ACV

You can put a little bit of either of these in a container or bowl to soak in, pour it on the affected area, or dab it on with a cotton ball.

A simple mixture you can make is:

⅛ cup of hydrogen peroxide or apple cider vinegar
4 cups of water.

Soak your feet in that mixture for 10-20 minutes.

You can also take a sip of apple cider vinegar to help out your blood sugar while you’re soaking your feet!

Black Tea

For this, you can take 5-6 black tea bags and put them in a couple of quarts of water, boil the water, let it cool off, and soak your feet in it.

Baking Soda

You can do a soak following the same steps as with the black tea. You can also make a paste out of it with a bit of water, put that on your toes for 10-20 minutes, and then rinse it off.

Corn Meal

You can also make a paste out of cornmeal and apply that to your feet. This one is incredibly effective and super easy to do.

Summary

Those are 8 different solutions you can try to fix your toenail fungus. For the next 2 weeks, you should spend your nights just sitting and soaking!

Hopefully, one of these 8 remedies will help get rid of your toenail fungus naturally so you can avoid chemicals and toxins.

Remember, you should always be looking for a cause. Try to address your lifestyle! If you need a place to start with this, grab my book or join my lifestyle now.
