Dealing with nail fungus can be frustrating and persistent. However, there’s an easy and effective solution that might already be sitting in your bathroom cabinet: mouthwash. Yes, the same mouthwash that keeps your breath fresh can also help eliminate nail fungus. Here’s how to use it and why it works.
Why Mouthwash Works
Mouthwash contains antiseptic and antifungal ingredients such as thymol, eucalyptol, and menthol, which are effective in killing bacteria and fungi. These properties make mouthwash a great remedy for treating nail fungus.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of mouthwash (preferably one with antiseptic properties)
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- A basin or a shallow bowl
Instructions
- Prepare the Soak In a basin or shallow bowl, mix equal parts of mouthwash and white vinegar. The vinegar enhances the antifungal effect of the mouthwash, making the soak even more effective.
- Soak Your Nails Submerge your affected nails in the mixture. Let them soak for about 15-20 minutes. The mouthwash and vinegar combination works to kill the fungus and prevent its spread.
- Rinse and Dry After soaking, rinse your nails with warm water and dry them thoroughly. Fungi thrive in moist environments, so keeping your nails dry is crucial to preventing further infection.
- Repeat Daily For best results, repeat this soaking process daily. Consistency is key to ensuring the fungus is completely eradicated and doesn’t return.
