Cure Your Toenail Fungus With These Natural Remedies

Toenail fungus which is characterized by yellow, thickened, brittle, crumbly nail with thick debris underneath in severe cases are very common and can be caused by feet being in moist environments which are damp and darkened. Can also be encouraged by wearing the same shoes often and not drying feet very well. People with weakened immune systems such as diabetics are also very prone to toenail fungus.

While toenail fungus will not make a person physically ill, many people desire to treat it because of its undesirable cosmetic appearance.

There are many natural remedies such as Listerine, tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar or Vick’s vapor rub to name a few. These options for curing fungus, which are not FDA approved, exist as options to those who are aversed to taking oral or topical medications.

The FDA has recently approved two topical medications Kerydin and Jublia. While neither have 100% cure rates, it is the best available.
