The antifungal agents in Listerine do not have a specific action on toenail fungus but may help to prevent the spread of the fungus in affected feet. Listerine is made up of active ingredients that can penetrate the epidermis of the skin to kill the fungus. It also contains ethanol, a solvent that binds essential oils. One of the most important of these ingredients is thymol, which is an extract of thyme that can improve blood circulation and boost immune function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
