How to use:
Crush a few garlic cloves to make a paste.
Apply the paste directly to the infected nail and cover it with a bandage.
Leave it on for 30 minutes, then rinse and dry.

Oregano oil contains thymol, which has potent antifungal and antibacterial effects.
How to use:
Dilute oregano oil with a carrier oil like olive oil (1-2 drops of oregano oil per teaspoon of carrier oil).
Apply it to the affected nail using a cotton swab.
Leave it on for 10–15 minutes before rinsing.
Repeat twice daily for best results.
