It can be used alone or in combination with other natural antifungal treatments. Internal antifungals aren't as effective because toenails are isolated from the body's blood supply. Because of this, topical treatments must be diligently used in order to eliminate the infection. Fortunately, oregano oil is very effective against toenail fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The active ingredient in oregano oil is thymol. It has antifungal properties and is commonly used as a mouthwash for skin problems. Applying two to three drops of this oil to your infected toenails twice daily can help eliminate the infection. The oil is also great for treating ingrown toenails. You can use it in the same way as vinegar or oregano oil, and it's easy to apply. Just keep in mind that you should avoid using your nail clippers to remove the infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common solution for yellow toenails is oregano oil. Its natural composition makes it suitable for use as a topical solution without any negative side effects. The oil is easily applied to the affected areas with a Q-tip twice a day. The oil should be applied to the toenail as far back as possible, but remember that undiluted oregano oil may cause redness or burn around the nail. However, there have been no reported adverse effects from using oregano oil as a nail-fungus treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're patient enough to follow up with a consistent program, you can try using a combination of oregano oil and tea tree oil. A mix of two to three drops of either oil on your toenail should work very well. For best results, use three drops of oregano oil and two drops of melaleuca every four hours. It's important to remember that these are only natural remedies and may not be effective on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baking_soda\"><\/span>Baking soda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suffer from discolored toenails, you may want to try a DIY solution that uses baking soda to whiten your toenails. While baking soda itself isn't a toenail fungus cure, it can be an effective way to get rid of discolored toenails. Just be sure to use a different type of toothbrush when cleaning your toenails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A paste of baking soda and water can be used to treat toenail fungus. Applying this mixture to your toes and feet before wearing shoes or socks will prevent the fungus from growing. The powder will also absorb moisture, which can be a leading cause of toenail fungus. In addition, baking soda absorbs moisture and fungi that live beneath the nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another effective home remedy for yellow toenails is baking soda. Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, has antifungal properties that help prevent toenail fungus from growing. The powdered substance is a great alternative to steroid medications. By absorbing excess moisture, it may even have fungistatic properties that keep the fungus from growing. Applying baking soda to the affected toenail for a few minutes a day can prevent a toenail fungus from recurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A paste made from baking soda and lemon juice is another home remedy for yellow toenails. Lemon is a natural bleach and baking soda gives the added benefit of exfoliating the nails. The mixture should remain on your toenails for around 15 minutes before being rinsed off. If the baking soda and lemon paste don't work, you can use hydrogen peroxide. Apply a paste to your yellow toenails twice a day for a few months to see results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vinegar\"><\/span>Vinegar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7246\" width=\"308\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-192x144.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-384x288.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-90x67.jpg 90w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-561x421.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-265x199.jpg 265w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-531x399.jpg 531w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-364x273.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-728x547.jpg 728w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-608x457.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_528721780-758x569.jpg 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common cure for yellow toenails is soaking your feet in a solution of apple cider vinegar. The vinegar works by creating an acidic environment which kills the fungus that is responsible for the condition. Toenail fungus thrives in dark, moist areas such as the toes or shoes. The acidic environment of the vinegar prevents the fungus from spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A foot soak made with vinegar will also work as a preventative measure. A solution of two parts apple cider vinegar to one part warm water will help to whiten your toenails while inhibiting the fungus' spread. Alternatively, you can use white vinegar. However, be sure to check the pH of the solution you use. Some specialty vinegar contains unnecessary ingredients, while others may stain your toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple cider vinegar is another common remedy for yellow toenails. It is made from apple juice, which is then fermented twice. It contains many beneficial compounds, including amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. This is why it is so effective as a toenail treatment. You can even use ACV directly on your toes if you have sensitive skin. Just remember to dry your toes thoroughly after using the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another effective treatment is applying lemon juice to the affected toenails. Lemon is a great bleaching agent, and baking soda adds an exfoliating action. To apply this remedy, simply mix equal parts of lemon juice with baking soda. Leave it on for about fifteen minutes, and then wash it off. You can repeat this treatment daily for several months to see the results. Another home remedy for yellow toenails is hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda. After 20 minutes, you should be able to see noticeable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lemon\"><\/span>Lemon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest at-home remedies for yellow toenails is lemon. The lemon juice mixed with water gently scrubs away yellow stains on the toenails. Another effective remedy is lemon and baking soda paste. Apply the paste to your toenails and leave it on for at least 10 minutes. Lemon has natural bleaching and antibacterial properties that can help fight fungal infections. Lastly, you can also try lemon juice mixed with hydrogen peroxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying lemon juice directly to the affected nail can fade yellow discoloration. Lemon acts as a natural bleach, which makes it a great option to use for a quick, effective remedy. For best results, rub lemon juice onto discolored toenails every day for five to 10 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water afterward. If the stains are not severe, lemon juice is an effective long-term treatment that will leave your nails looking better for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another natural remedy for yellow toenails is lemon juice. It works by removing yellowness by bleaching the fibers and breaking down the gunk on the nails. Apply the juice directly to the toenails or with a cotton swab. After applying the lemon juice, rinse the nails with water and moisturize your hands. If you prefer a more gentle method, you can mix a tablespoon of lemon juice with three percent hydrogen peroxide and use it as a soak for your nails before applying a manicure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use diluted lemon juice on the affected toenails. Just apply lemon juice to your toes and scrub them with a clean toothbrush. After doing this, allow the lemon juice to dry for about 10-15 minutes, and then rinse your feet. Repeat the process daily until you achieve the desired results. Lemon juice for yellow toenails is a simple remedy that can give you beautiful, white nails. Remember, lemon juice for yellow toenails is only an informational tip. It does not guarantee any results and does not bear responsibility for any harm you may incur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mouthwash\"><\/span>Mouthwash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7248\" width=\"278\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947.jpg 707w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947-561x793.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947-265x375.jpg 265w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947-531x751.jpg 531w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947-364x515.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/shutterstock_657785947-608x860.jpg 608w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering if mouthwash for yellow toenails actually works. This home remedy contains a combination of powerful ingredients that kill the fungus and allow the toenail area to heal itself. The key is to use it regularly and make sure that you rinse it well after each use. These products may also work well in combination with other powerful remedies. If you have a persistent case of yellow toenails, you may want to consider other remedies first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listerine is another home remedy for yellow toenails. Listerine contains antibacterial and antifungal properties and has been used for centuries to treat toenail fungus. Mix Listerine with vinegar in a 1:1 solution. Alternatively, use Listerine with 2 parts water. Although there are no studies on the effectiveness of mouthwash for yellow toenails, it may help to treat toenail fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One natural remedy for yellow toenails is to apply Listerine. This mouthwash combines vinegar and apple cider vinegar, which act as an exfoliant to remove damaged tissue layer by layer. Apply it to the affected areas on a daily basis for at least 15 minutes. After the remedy has taken effect, remove the affected area using an emery board. You can also use Listerine in combination with baking soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A solution of Listerine and vinegar can also kill the fungus. This solution should be applied to the infected nail three times daily. A more effective solution is Listerine mixed with a solution of vinegar. This solution should be applied to the affected nail three times a day, and it should be kept in place for at least two weeks to see results. This treatment is an alternative to expensive surgery and requires consistent application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve got yellow toenails, you&#8217;re not alone!
