Vinegar treatment
Vinegar is an excellent tool that quickly destroyed the fungus.It can be added to the leg legs, lubricate the nail plate, make compresses.
However, vinegar is a sufficiently strong acid, with the contact of the skin with which a burn, pain and small wounds may appear.Therefore, the application of vinegar not diluted to the skin should not be authorized.
To make a healing bath with vinegar, heat the water to 50 degrees and add 3 tablespoons of vinegar at each liter of water.
You can make such baths twice a day, but remember that vinegar dry the skin a lot, so it should be lubricated with children's cream.The use of special antifungal creams after vinegar baths, lotions or compresses will accelerate the recovery process.
For treatment, it is necessary to take only natural apple cider vinegar.
Treatment with sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate with a large concentration is capable of corroding the skin, so if you decide to use a damp sodium bicarbonate porridge, close the skin around the nail with an adhesive plaster.In addition, sodium bicarbonate can be added to the solutions for baths.
Plant baths with the addition of sodium bicarbonate have been well recommended.Add 2 tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate to any solution and keep the feet in it for 20 to 30 minutes.Lubricate the damaged areas with fungicidal cream and the rest of the skin with baby oily cream.
Iodic treatment
Everyone has heard that the iodine application on the nail plate made it stronger.But iodine is able not only to strengthen the nails, but also to cure them from the initial step of the fungus.With the help of a cotton, all nails are covered with iodine, including healthy - this is made for prevention.
Usually, after a few hours, iodine is absorbed, which signals the absence of iodine in the body.In this case, apply iodine with another layer.We carry out this procedure twice a day.
The iodic can also be added to the leg legs, mixing it with ordinary hot water or herbal solutions.
Garlic
Garlic is a natural antibiotic.It successfully destroys bacteria, viruses and harmful fungi.Therefore, the use of it to treat the fungus on the thumbnail is largely justified.
In addition, it is a completely safe product available for everyone.Garlic is used either in a single living room or in combination with other products.
- Use of garlic boiles.Using garlic codes, press 2-3 pods, apply the resulting porridge on the nail, bandage with a bandage, wrap it with a package (or put an attack).We leave it at night, carefully monitoring that there is no unpleasant sensation - itching, pain, swelling, indicating local irritation, allergies or burns.
- 5 garlic cloves are filled with oil and leave in a dark place for at least a day.To speed up the preparation of the oil dye, each pod can be cut or pierced with a needle.With this oil, lubricate the painful nails 3 times a day.
- Alcohol dyes.Pour the garlic with alcohol or vodka, insist during the day and use in the form of compresses.Such a compress cannot be kept for a long time, because when alcohol contacts, it causes a very unpleasant painful burn.
If you are allergic to garlic, refuse to treat the fungus in this way.
Tea mushroom
An excellent vitamin that should be in each house.Unfortunately, today, the distribution of tea mushrooms has decreased, but in some houses, it can still be seen.
The tea fungus is a warehouse of useful biological components, vitamins, minerals.Using this drink, you increase your immunity, so that the body wins the fungus faster.
The fungus produces special enzymes that destroy fungi, which makes lotions with this useful liquid, you will quickly face the disease.
The tea fungus is better used in the context of complex therapy, because it cannot completely cure the fungus only at the initial stage of the disease.

We use the resulting broth for the baths.After the procedure, we wipe our legs and put hot socks.This procedure must be carried out at least once a day.
An antifungal ointment will speed up the recovery process.
Ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution
The aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide is used either clean or in the composition of solutions.Using a cotton wool, you can apply it on the nail plate and leave it until it dries.In addition, alcohol can be added to legs.
Remember that alcohol should be avoided in open areas of the skin.
Treatment of thumbs
That the treatment of the nail on the thumb succeeds with folk methods depends, first of all, on the patient's body and his immune system, as well as on the stage of the disease.
But in any case, the treatment will be quite long - even after the disappearance of all the symptoms, the risk of relapses is quite high.Therefore, therapy is carried out in some cases within six months.
The initial step
The initial step is more easily treated.Sometimes, a week is enough to deceive the patient with a mushroom ointment, make a bath with iodine or salt several times, and the disease will withdraw.
You can only manage folk methods, but it is better not to take risks and consult a doctor.The simplest smear will determine the pathogen for the disease and the doctor will not be mistaken in prescribing medicines.
You can treat the fungus with a bacterial infection (or vice versa), which will worsen the course of the disease.
The intermediate scene
At the central stage, when nail damage is significantly naked, home treatment methods should only be taken in depth.
To sparks, baths and compresses, it is necessary to add the use of special medical ointments.It is only in this way that you will not "lead" the fungus inside and that you do not face it quickly.
Heavy step and advanced cases
In advanced cases, the treatment not only includes folk methods, ointments, cream and baths, but also to take special antifungal tablets that the prescribed doctor.
In particularly serious cases, surgical intervention is necessary - the elimination of the nail with a laser, by mechanically using anesthesia or special chemicals.
Sometimes the severe stage of the fungus of the thumbnails requires hospitalization, and the attachment of a bacterial infection is a long -term treatment with antibiotics.
