Warnings regarding herbal treatment for nail fungus:
Before starting herbal treatment, consult a healthcare professional, especially if you are taking chronic medications.
Failure to improve with herbal remedies warrants a prompt review of the treatment plan.
Individuals with diabetes or organ dysfunction should seek medical advice due to potential complications.
Other herbal treatment options:
Snake root
Snakeroot is a traditional remedy with antifungal properties, which can be applied to the nails 2 to 3 times a week for up to three months.
Olive leaf juice
Cream or capsules containing olive oil can help treat foot fungus, but they may cause mild flu-like symptoms.
Alternative ways to treat nail fungus:
Apple cider vinegar: Balances the pH of the skin to prevent the spread of fungi.
Baking soda: It dries moisture from toenails and works as a treatment for nail fungus.
While herbal remedies and natural extracts seem promising, it is necessary to treat them with caution and under professional supervision.
