Garlic is a powerful antimicrobial and anti-fungal

Wonder how it would work on my big toe nail. I've had fungal problems with it for years.

Marinade it in garlic like a steak and see if it helps.

Use Vicks Vapor Rub. Sounds dumb but it works!

With each of my kids I had problems with thrush and mastitis. I’d take antibiotics for mastitis, and then get thrush soon after. It was a vicious cycle. With baby number last I started swallowing to to three cloves of garlic a day, right before a meal. It worked for both issues.

10 to 1 Water and clorox (ten water to one Clorox) every bath or shower and you will cure that fungus in the nail and nail bed.

Garlic works, but only if it is raw. I have cut a clove into pieces, then swallowed them whole. One clove three times a day worked to ward of influenza while my family dropped like flies around me. I, of course, smelled awful.

Now we take it is a tincture-very easy and inexpensive to make and you don’t smell so bad when taking it.

If you take garlic and probiotics along with soaking your foot in the bleach solution recommended by another freeper you should cure it. The key to any home remedy/natural cure is consistency.

With a fairly large family and insurance that doesn’t cover meds I have tried many home remedies for health issues and have discovered what works and what doesn’t. Garlic is a winner.

I ended my toe rot by dabbing tea tree oil on it daily. It seems to take a long time because you don’t see results until the nail grows out but it is probably effective pretty quickly. The irritation did stop in a couple of days. Now I go barefoot a lot. That is the best preventative, I think.
