Will Vinegar Treat Toenail Fungus? Possibly.
Will vinegar treat toenail fungus? That is one of the most often asked questions when it comes to dealing with this ailment and definitely one of the top 10 suggested remedies online.
Obviously, you already know that toenail fungus is an aggravating and very difficult problem to get rid of and one that millions of people deal with daily. It causes your nails to turn yellow or brown, raise from the nail bed, and spread to other parts of your feet.
What you may not realize is that the little organism that causes nail fungus is alive and growing around your feet and shoes. In other words, you need to find a way to kill it by creating an environment that won’t allow it to live.
Although there are very few tests that document whether or not vinegar will treat toenail fungus, it does contain a very strong acetic acid which gives it the sour taste and sell. Some think that it is this acid that may assist with nail fungus.
The real problem is that nails are designed to keep liquids out just like your skin. Unfortunately, water based solutions like this seldom penetrate the nail and get to the root of the fungus inside the nail bed. If you have a topical form of nail fungus, it might be helpful but most people don’t.
In case you decide to try it, the general rule of thumb is 1 part of apple cider vinegar to 2 parts of water. You then soak your feet for 15-20 minutes daily for 4-6 weeks.
If you are nervous about the drugs often used for nail fungus, you can pay about $1000 for laser nail treatments or use an oil based toenail fungus treatment that is better able to penetrate the nails and skin.
