5 STEPS FOR HEALING YOUR TOOTH DECAY AND REVERSE CAVITIES

If you have a problem with your teeth and bad breath it’s usually caused by some kind of bacteria overgrowth in your oral cavity. If you don’t do something to improve the condition of your teeth and gums, you’ll eventually lose your teeth and that can be quite problematic as you would imagine. However, if you start taking better care of your oral cavity you could still be able to salvage your teeth and eliminate the bad breath.

Brushing your teeth at least twice a day is the basic oral care but there are a few more things you should do to improve your teeth’s condition. The first step towards recovery is to start eating healthier. Eliminate junk food, processed food, sugars and increase your vitamin D and A intake. If your diet is rich in nuts, beans and grains you might want to consider removing their phytic acid content. How to do this? Well, simply soak the grains or beans in some lemon water and leave them overnight before you prepare them.

Here are 5 important things you should do if you want to heal your teeth and improve their condition:

Oil pulling
Oil pulling is an ancient technique that has enormous health benefits especially when it comes to oral care. It usually performed with coconut oil, organic. Just take a tablespoon of organic coconut oil and swish it around in your mouth for 20 minutes. Spit it out in the end. You might find it difficult to start with 20 minutes at first but you can start with 5 and gradually increase your oil pulling time to 20.

Eliminate sugar
If you want to have healthy teeth you need to eliminate foods that contain high levels of sugar. Sugar has a detrimental effect on your teeth, decalcifying them and demineralizing their structural content. Plus the bacteria in your teeth feed on sugar and need it to survive, if you eliminate it they’ll starve to death.
Consume more nutrient-rich food
Eating food that’s rich in minerals and vitamins will prevent and heal tooth decay. Consume plenty of leafy greens and healthy fats like coconut oil, nuts, avocado and seeds.

Cut back on the phytic acid foods
Grains, beans, seeds and nuts are all foods rich in phytic acid which has a negative effect on your mineral absorption. If you want to have healthy set of teeth and gums you need to avoid this phytic acid by eliminating the foods that contain it or neutralize it in some way.

Use mineralizing toothpaste
Fluoride free toothpastes can be rather pricey and not everyone can afford them even though we know they’re the best for our teeth. However, there is an excellent recipe for a homemade mineralizing paste you can simply prepare by mixing a few readily available ingredients:

Ingredients:


  • 3 tbsp. of Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade Powder
  • ¼ tsp. of peppermint extract
  • ¼ tsp. of baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. of mint-flavored chlorophyll
  • 1/2 tsp. of coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp. of distilled water

Prepare this toothpaste by mixing everything up and use it on a regular basis. After a short period of time you’ll notice significant improvements, your teeth will be healed and your breath will smell fresh and amazing.

Try these tips out and see that you can heal your cavities completely naturally without spending a fortune on expensive products and dental procedures.

This Powerful Tea Is The Best Remedy For Swollen Legs

If you have ever experienced swelling in your legs (or your hands or feet for that matter) you know how painful it can become.

There are many reasons this swelling, known as edema, or the retention of fluids in the body, can occur:


  • A sedentary lifestyle—sitting or staying in one position for too long
  • Eating too much processed foods and foods high in salt
  • Poor circulation
  • PMS
  • Side effects of some medications
  • Pregnancy

Often, a bit of swelling in your legs can be normal after standing or sitting for the day or during pregnancy for example, but chronic leg and ankle swelling—peripheral edema—can also signal a more serious underlying issue such as kidney disease, heart failure or liver disease, so it is always best to consult a physician if this swelling persists.
For cases of occasional swelling however, there are herbal remedies that can be helpful for reducing the swelling and helping your body eliminate any excess fluids. One such herb is parsley.


It Used To Be Recommended by Hippocrates

The word parsley is actually derived from two Greek words: “petrose,” meaning rock, as it often pops through rocky terrain and stone walls; and “selenium,” the ancient name for celery. When put together, it literally means “rock celery.”

There are essentially two types of parsley—curly parsley and Italian parsley (flat leaves) which tends to be the hardier of the two.

While parsley is used as a garnish in almost every restaurant and home in North America, more often than not, we tend to pick it off the dish and leave it to the side.
But studies show that eating that parsley garnish can help protect you from a variety of diseases and ailments including, digestive disorders, urinary tract problems, menstrual pain, asthma, allergies, as well as help to lower blood pressure, improve your bone health, your breath and even help in cases of bronchitis.

In ancient times, Hippocrates recommended parsley as a general tonic for kidney stones and rheumatism as well as an antidote for poison. And according to “The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook,” parsley is a wonderful diuretic that helps the kidneys remove excess fluids from the body (edema).

Parsley Is a Natural Diuretic

A study published in 2002 in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, showed that “parsley acts as a diuretic by inhibiting the sodium and potassium ion pumps, influencing the process of osmosis and increasing the flow of urine.”

Parsley is also rich in potassium and because most chemically produced diuretics actually lower potassium levels in the body, parsley also assures you do not experience this common side effect of these pharmaceutical drugs.

Another 2009 Brazilian study titled, “Diuretic and hypotensive activity of aqueous extract of parsley seeds” showed similar results for parsley and suggests that parsley can not only increase urinary flow, but also decrease blood pressure as well.

Parsley Tea Recipe for Edema

According to Dr. John R. Christopher, renowned author and America’s foremost herbalist, you should drink at least two quarts (64 oz.) of strong parsley tea per day to achieve maximum results.

You can increase the amount of parsley tea to a cup every hour if you feel the need. When making your tea, however, he also suggests that you use the “fresh light-green leaves,” along with the roots and seeds, if available.

Instructions:


  1. Chop the leaves and roots into small pieces (you can also pre-chop the parsley and store them in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to a week.)
  2. Place approximately ¼ cup of parsley into an infusion basket.
  3. Pour over a cup of boiled water or submerge into a tea pot.
  4. Let the mixture steep for 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Remove the basket or strain the tea.
  6. Add honey, lemon or ginger for flavor if desired.
  7. Always drink parsley tea warm for the best effects.
As well as drinking tea, don’t forget to use other techniques to reduce swelling such as raising your legs by putting your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart when lying down.

Also exercise your legs as this helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart.

1. Rub alcohol on the wound

Before getting excited about this remedy, a word of caution; make sure you don’t have any open lump or wound before taking the help of alcohol to treat this disease. If applied to open wounds, the condition of the patient may worsen. This is known to be a trustworthy remedy. Patients who have used this home remedy on their own closed wounds have claimed that it gives respite from the pain and discomfort.

How to apply this remedy

Take a Q tip and dip it in alcohol fully soaking it. Apply it onto the lumps and bumps. Apply this remedy whenever you feel the need for some relief from the painful symptoms. For added relief, you can use essential oils like lavender oil.

2. A refreshing oil bath

Hot baths are known to be soothing and an immense stress reliever. In the case of hidradenitis suppurativa, a hot bath is acknowledged to be one of the most calming cures. This will help you in soothing your irritated skin and give you both mental and physical relaxation. You can add some oil to this hot bath to increase the impact of this remedy.

Unfortunately, in some of these areas you experience regular hair growth which you take care of by shaving. For example, few of the most common areas which might be affected might this skin disease is the groin, the pubic area and the armpits. These areas are most likely to develop lumps under the skin. It is crucial for you to avoid shaving these areas when suffering from breakouts as there is a high probability that the blades of the razor might leave the wounds open and that would create a bigger problem for you in the future. If it is absolutely necessary for you to get rid of body hair from these parts, consult your doctor to see if there is any alternative option that you can opt for.

4. Wear loose clothes

It is not a breaking news that tight fitting clothes are most responsible for making you sweat, especially during summers. Sweat and friction are two major causes of hidradenitis suppurativa.

People, who are prone to excess sweating, should give serious efforts towards maintaining their hygiene. When you suffer from breakouts, make sure to clean and wash the affected parts and areas with antiseptic soap. It is better to avoid using a deodorant if you are going through breakouts in your underarms. But in case you do want to use a deodorant, make sure to use a crystal deodorant. And last but not the least; apply a regular antiseptic cream to soothe the irritated skin.

7. Staying fit is essential

It might sound insensitive, but your chances of having hidradenitis suppurativa increases if you are overweight or chubby. The fatter your body is the more is the chance of friction. When the skin rubs against each other, that part of the skin starts sweating and you start getting boils and lumps. The most common area that gets affected due to this is the inner thighs. What should you do in order to avoid this? All you have to focus on is staying fit and try to lose excess weight.

If you have any type of burn the first step in treatment is to run it under cool, not cold water. This will temporarily relieve the pain from the burn. Additionally, there are some common items around your kitchen that you can use to help further pain relief from burns.


Home Cures for Burns


-Applying egg whites to a burn that is minor can help relieve pain and may prevent scarring.
-Another option that you likely have in your cabinet is honey. Applying honey to a minor burn may shorten the time it takes to heal.

-Another common household item that can be used in order to heal burns at home is vinegar. Not only can vinegar help take the sting out of a burn, it can also help to soothe bug bites, another common summer ailment.

Raw potatoes may actually help cool a burn as well. Cut a potato in half and apply it to the burned skin. This will act in a similar way to running the burn under cool water.

-Tomatoes can also be used for burns as the lycopene can help remove the heat from the burn and heal the skin.

-Tea can be used for burns as well. Both a used tea bag and the actual liquid tea can be used for the treatment of a minor burn.

10 Most Effective Home Remedies for Gout

Gout- it’s painful! You know that. Either you have acute gout (only at one joint) or chronic gout (multiple joints), you need to relieve yourself of that painful lump. Even better if you can avoid those gout flare ups that stay for days and weeks. Medicines haven’t proved to be the magical pills. They only suppress the symptoms, the pain and the swelling just letting them come again and again. So, what’s the way out then? Home remedies and certain changes in diet and lifestyle. Here I give you a list of really effective home remedies for gout. Following them will not only avoid your gout flare ups but eventually treat your gout too.

1. Drink, Drink, Drink Water!
Uric acid in your blood is the culprit. The excessive uric acid that can’t be excreted out of your system by your kidneys not only forms kidney stones but also leads to gout by crystallizing itself at the joints. The pain and swelling at your big toe or at heels, ankles, knees and elbows are caused by crystallization of this excess uric acid only. So, its better to expel it out of your body before it gets a chance to crystallize. For this, you have to drink a lots of water. Water in your case or anyone who suffers from gout, is the elixir of life! Make it a habit of drinking a glass of water every 30-40 minutes. You can even have other healthy beverages like coconut water, lime juice and fruit juices. If so, you may keep your water intake somewhat low but ensure that whatever amount of fluid you are having during the day, half of it should be water.

2. Munch on Cherries
Cherries are the second best home remedy for gout, after water. Why? Because cherries have in the ‘anthocyanins’ known to heal pain, inflammation and tenderness of joints.
Ways to have cherries during the day:
Just for your help, these are some of the ways in which you can have lots of cherries to treat your gout.

  • Have cherries (sweet or sour- both can work) before breakfast.
  • Make juice with cherries and a few cloves of garlic to get relief from inflammation and joint tenderness.
  • Just munch on cherries. Have 6-10 cherries during the day.
  • Drink a glass of cherries juice once a day.
  • Have anything cherry- cherry pie, cherry compote, cherry juice, cherry jam, cherry tea! Just consult your doctor if you are diabetic or have any other grave medical condition before having them in abundance.
  • Have concentrated juice of black cherry at regular intervals, twice or thrice a day to get relief from gout pain.
  • Along with cherries, you may also have other dark colored fruits like blackberries, blueberries, purple grapes and raspberries etc.
  • You may even have cherry in vitamins form if you don’t like to munch on this fruit.


3. Help from Other Fruits and Veggies
Just like the dark colored fruits including cherries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, purple grapes, there are many other fruits that can help you in getting relief from gout. Which fruit can provide gout relief in what ways can be known from the below facts.

Apple: There is this acid called ‘malic acid’ in apple which helps in neutralizing the excessive uric acid in your body. You can go by the old saying- an apple a day keeps ‘gout’ away! If you can have this apple after meal, even better. This will help neutralize the uric acid faster to give you relief from pain and inflammation. You can even have apple juice. You may also use home made apple preserves. Whatever way, you should have apples.

Banana: The high amount of potassium and phosphorus in bananas are capable of altering uric acid crystals into liquid which can be easily flushed out of your system. Bananas also have high content of vitamin C that can give you relief from pain and swelling. Therefore, you should have at least one to two bananas a day.

Grapes: Grapes are alkaline foods and again help in neutralizing uric acid. They also avoid building up of acid and help in eliminating it from body. However, if you are diabetic, you should consult with your doctor before adding grapes and even bananas in your diet.

Orange: Oranges are beneficial for the same reason- their citric acid and vitamin C which help in neutralizing uric acid. Orange juice is also beneficial for you.

Gooseberry: Amla or Indian gooseberry is the best source of vitamin C. If you can, have an amla every morning. The best thing is that when you convert amla into jam, jelly or cook it, it doesn’t lose its vitamin C’s quality. So, you can have it in any form.

Strawberries: Strawberries too are good sources of vitamin C. Have fresh strawberries and a lots of them during the day.

Cucumber: Cucumber is very beneficial in gout probably due to the high water content in it. You may like to have this delicious juice made up of carrot, cucumber and beet root. A juice wholly made of cucumber would also do.

French beans: Juice made up of French beans too is beneficial to get relief from pain and inflammation due to gout. Drink half a cup of such juice once or twice a day.

4. Have Lime Juice to Neutralize Uric Acid
I have not included lemon in the list of fruits for three reasons. One, you may not deem it a fruit. Two, I wanted to emphasize the importance of lemon and lime juice for gout remedy and three, you may or may not have fruits on a regular basis but if you suffer from gout, you should make it a point to have fresh lime juice twice or thrice a day. Just squeeze a lemon into a glass of water and have it. You may even include lime juice in your meals- in raw form though. Citric acid in lemon neutralizes the excessive uric acid in your blood giving your body alkalinity.

5. Avoid Purine Loaded Foods
So far, we had been talking about eliminating or preventing uric acid. What if we also analyze the way uric acid is formed and stop the very source that produces this acid leading to gout! The uric acid in your blood is due to the breakdown of chemicals called purines. Purines come from having too much of organ meats, certain fish, dried peas, lentils and legumes. So avoid these foods. At least cut down on them in a major way and totally avoid them when you are under a gout attack. This is the list of purine foods that you should try to avoid.


  • Organ Meats including liver, kidney, brains
  • Red meat
  • Sweetbreads
  • Sardines
  • Anchovies
  • Meat extracts
  • Dried peas
  • Lentils
  • Legumes

However, since fish is good for heart and overall health, try to have other fish that do not have high contents of purines. You should anyways limit such intake to about 170 gms daily. When there are gout flare ups, totally avoid animal protein.

6. Comforting Compresses, Soaks, Baths
While hot and cold compresses do well in other types of pain, they are not beneficial in gout-relief. Reason. When you use a hot pad around the gout swelling, blood circulation speeds up sending more blood to the area resulting in further inflammation. When you use an ice pack to comfort the gout pain, its low temperature helps in further crystallizing the uric acid leading to even more pain and swelling. Therefore, you need some special compresses, poultice, baths and soaks for your gout problem. Here are some suggestions for you.

Mustard compress: Take one part each of mustard powder and whole wheat flour. Add water to this mixture to get a paste. Place a thick coat of this paste on a clean cloth. Now place this cloth having mustard paste in it on the gout affected region. If needed, use tape to keep it in place. Leave overnight or at least for few hours before removing the poultice.
Castor oil: Warm the casor oil. With the help of a cotton ball, apply the warm oil on your gout affected joint.

Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal can adsorb uric acid so you may take a charcoal bath two or three times a week. Mix well half cup of charcoal powder in some water to make a paste. Place this paste in a tub and add more water to it. Now soak your gout affected joint in this water for 30 minutes. If you can’t soak your joint (like elbow), just apply the charcoal paste there and leave for half an hour. Wash with lukewarm water.

Epsom salt: It is not only good for gout but also for other types of arthritis. Add some Epsom salt (about two cups if having bath in bath tub and a couple of teaspoons if soaking only the affected joint) in warm water and soak your body or the gout affected joint in it. Do it once a week.
Juniper oil: Place a compress made up with juniper on your painful swollen joint to help break down the toxic deposits there.

7. Herbs to Treat Gout
Herbs have been there since ages to help humans to fight off many diseases. Gout too can have benefits from various herbs, especially those having anti inflammatory properties like ginger root, capsicum, devil’s claw, white willow bark, meadowsweet leaves as well as flower-tops and licorice etc. Here is a list of herbs and herbal remedies to help you know how you can get relief for your gout affected joints.

Ginger root

  • Make ginger root tea and have it once or twice a day.
  • Take half a tea spoon of powdered ginger root
  • Boil a cup of water.
  • Add the ginger root powder in it.
  • Have the tea
  • Get relief from pain and swelling.


Devil’s Claw
Devil’s Claw is a fine anti-inflammatory herb that can help you get extreme relief from pain. It is one of the first herbs that was used to grant relief from arthritis. However, if you also suffer from diabetes or are taking some blood thinning medicine, you should not have this herb. Those eligible for using devil’s claw can make tea with it.

  • Take half teaspoon of powdered devil’s claw root.
  • Boil a cup of water.
  • Add powdered herb to the water.
  • Let it steep for ten minutes.
  • Have the tea.

Have this herbal tea at least once a day.

Chicory
It’s the same herb that is present in coffee too. Chicory has been widely used for over 2000 years for medicinal purposes including arthritis and its one form gout.

  • Take one ounce chicory root powder.
  • Boil a pint of water.
  • Add the herb in it.
  • Have the beverage.

What’s even better is that you may make a poultice using chicory too. Apply this poultice to your gout affected joint and leave for some time to get relief from pain and inflammation.

Alfalfa
Alfalfa is a very good source of such minerals which help reduce the content of serum uric acid in blood. It also prevents the deposition and future conditions of gout making it an effective remedy for gout.

8. Move your Body but with Caution
When there are gout flare ups, you need to take extra precautions. While exercising is good for overall health and also for preventing gout flare ups, you need to have restrictions on joint movement once there is such a flare up.

  • Avoid putting weight on your joints affected with gout. If it’s your big toe, stay off your feet as long as you can and till the time your gout attack subsides.
  • As far as possible, keep your affected joint elevated. This simple rule of gravity helps in reducing inflammation by slowing down the flow of blood to your painful joint.
  • During gout flare ups, keep your joint immobile for most of the times. Lying still helps. You may also like to build a splint for supporting and immobilizing your joint.
  • If gout is in big toe, you better wear comfortable shoes offering a lots of room for the toes otherwise you can worsen your pain.


9. Exercises to Avoid Gout Flare ups
Exercising is essential, for gout-relief too. Exercises not only makes you lose weight, which is one of the prerequisites for avoiding gout but also keep your joints flexible. However, when there occurs gout flare up and your joint is a swollen painful lump, you should pay attention towards reducing your sufferings through proper diet, remedies and medicines and never do exercise. It may prolong your gout attack. Just gently moving your joints through its range of motion may prevent stiffness in such periods. It is when your gout flare up is subsided should you begin gradual exercising for regaining strength and movement of the muscles adjoining the joints.

I am citing certain exercises below that may help reduce your painful symptoms and recurrence of gout flare ups. While doing exercise, you must take utmost precaution because you certainly do not want to make the pain of your joints get worsened by exercising in the wrong way. It’s better to practically learn from trained teacher about how to do the exercises so that they go easy on your joints. One more caution- consult your doctor before starting any form of exercise.

Stretching
Stretching is very good for getting relief from gout. Stretching exercises increase your joints flexibility as well as range of motion. When you stretch your muscles before and after workouts, you are ensuring that your joints do not get damaged easily. It also helps in decreasing the soreness you may feel after working out. These are some of the basic stretching exercises for your various body parts.

Shoulders Stretching
• Let both of your hands by your sides.
• Now roll your shoulders forward for about half minute.
• Then roll shoulders backwards for another 30 seconds.
• Repeat for about 5-10 times.

Wrists Stretching
• Stretch your hands straight in front of you.
• Make fists.
• Now roll your wrists clockwise for 10 times.
• Then roll your wrists anti-clockwise for 10 minutes.

Back and Hamstrings
• Sit on the floor and place your legs straight out in front of you
• Now reach forward with hands out to touch your toes.
• Hold for about 10-15 seconds.
• Release and sit straight.
• Repeat for 3-5 times.

Cardiovascular and Aerobic Exercises
Whatever you do, you have to go for low impact exercises. Cardiovascular exercises help your lungs to function effectively so that your body is capable of using the more oxygen you get in metabolizing the acid in your body including uric acid. Aerobic exercises will strengthen your muscles belonging to lower body parts including those situated in joints. So what exercises to do? Here are some suggestions, they are all low impact exercises which will put lesser pressure on your joints.
• Brisk walking
• Climbing stairs
• Dancing
Do them after consulting your doctor and begin by doing only 10 minutes of exercises daily. Gradually increase the time and bring it to 30-40 minutes daily, five days a week.

Swimming
Swimming is specially good for you or any other gout patient. Swimming, as well as water aerobics, increase mobility of your joints without putting full impact of gravity on them. Whenever you are in water, you are putting less stress on the joints. When swimming for gout relief, how fast you swim or how much distance do you cover doesn’t matter as much as how much time you spend in water. You should be there for about 30-45 minutes. However, start slowly with spending only about 15 minutes in water and then gradually increase your time there.
I am telling it again, before starting any exercise, consult your doctor. There’s one more thing to know. Exercising can help in stopping further build up of uric acid but you can not get rid of uric acid like you can with proper diet. Also don’t forget to stop exercising when there occur gout flair up. Once it subsides, you may start your daily exercise regime.

10. Some Quick Home Remedies for Gout Relief
Here are some more quick remedies for gout for you:


  • Take two teaspoons each of apple cider vinegar and honey, mix and have it. You’ll get instant relief from pain and swelling due to the anti inflammatory properties of honey and malic acid of apple vinegar.
  • Limit or totally avoid alcohol because it is a gout trigger. Your body retains the urate crystals due to alcohol and don’t let them be excreted out of body. Some of the recent studies suggest that even beer can increase the risk of gout symptoms, especially in men.
  • Avoid taking over-the-counter water pills and other diuretics as they slow down the excretion of uric acid from your body thus help in increasing the risk of gout. However, if your doctor prescribes a diuretic for some condition like high blood pressure, you should make your doctor aware of your tendency toward gout attacks.
  • Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises to ease your pain due to gout. This may sometimes reduce inflammation of joints too.
  • Mix a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water and drink it when you realize that there will be a spell of intense gout pain. There will always be a little pain before it gets bigger. If you have baking soda in water, you will instantly stop this pain from getting worse.
  • When you suffer from gout attack, drink 2 to 4 liters of fluid every day, half of which should be water. Avoid alcohol and limit your daily intake of meat, fish and poultry to about 113 to 170 gm. Have moderate amount of protein from such healthy sources as low-fat or fat-free dairy, tofu, eggs, and nut butters.

8 Home Remedies For Nail Fungus

Nail fungus is a common infection and many people suffer from the fungus without doing anything about it. This further aggravates the problem. Treatments available in hospitals cannot cure the infection completely and often the infection returns. Also, these treatments are expensive and take long to show any results.Therefore, many people resort to home remedies as they are cheap and quite effective in curing nail fungus infection.

Natural Home Remedies For Nail Fungus


Vinegar

Vinegar has acidic properties that help inhibit the growth of certain types of fungi and bacteria. To treat nail fungus with vinegar mix a cup of vinegar in two cups of warm water. Soak the infected nail in this liquid combination for 15-20 minutes. After soaking the feet in vinegar wash it well with plain water and pat it dry or use hair dryer to dry your nail completely. The vinegar treatment should be done daily at least thrice a day, for up to 4 weeks. You will soon see a difference in the color of your nail. Vinegar will not only prevent the fungus from growing but will also remove the existing fungus from the skin.


Vicks Vaporub

There are no studies to prove the effectiveness of VapoRub in curing nail fungus. However, there are many user testimonials to show that VapoRub is indeed effective in removing fungus from the nail. Simply rub sufficient amount of VapoRub on the infected nail twice a day. This treatment is best done at night when nothing can remove the VapoRub from the nail. In the morning wash off the VapoRub using warm water.


Oregano Oil


Oregano essential oil has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that make it very effective in treating nail fungus. However, no essential oil should be rubbed directly on the skin as it has very strong acidic properties that can irritate and harm the skin.
For this reason, essential oils are always mixed with carrier oils before application. Mix four drops of oregano essential oil with three drops of olive oil or almond oil. Rub this mixture of oils over the infected area. Do this treatment at least 4-5 times in a day regularly for three weeks. The new nail that grows back will be healthy, clear and shiny.



Bleach


Bleach has chemicals that are known to act upon the fungal growth in the nail. These chemicals dissolve the fungi and prevent them from growing further. In fact people who are prone to fungal infections in the nails often do the bleach treatment to avoid recurrence of the infection. Prepare a foot soak by mixing two capfuls of liquid bleach with half a bucket of water. Soak the infected nail in this mixture for 15-20 minutes. Do this treatment twice a day for 4-5 weeks.
However, rinse the area well using a mild soap and warm water after soaking it in bleach mixture. Pat your skin dry. You may find your other nails turning white with this treatment. However, this is only temporary. The nails will return to their normal and healthy color once you stop the treatment. The positive part of this treatment is that your nail will be fungus free forever. But remember to do this treatment regularly for the required time or the fungus may grow back.


Tea Tree Essential Oil


Like oregano essential oil, tea tree essential oil too has anti-fungal properties which make the oil very effective in treatment of various infections. In fact, many medications for treatment of nail fungus contain tea tree extracts. Tea tree essential oil is also used in the treatment of other infections like athlete’s foot, bacterial vaginosis, impetigo etc.
Since tea tree is an essential oil it needs to be mixed with any carrier oil for application. Combine 2ml of tea tree oil with 3ml of olive oil and rub this mixture daily on the nail and the surrounding skin for 3 weeks. You can soak the nail in a bath prepared using tea tree essential oil and water. Simply dip the nail in a mixture of 5 drops tea tree oil and 500ml of warm water. Soak the nail for 10-15 minutes twice a day in this mixture.

Listerine Mouthwash


This is another favorite home remedy of many people for treating nail fungus. Listerine mouthwash has anti-fungal and anti-bacteria ingredients that make the mouthwash ideal for curing nail fungus. The mouthwash can be used undiluted for removing the fungus. Pour some mouthwash in a small utensil and soak your nail in this for 10-15 minutes.
Wash off with plain lukewarm water. Alternatively, you can also apply Listerine mouthwash directly on the skin using Q-tip. The treatment should be done 3-4 times in a day for several weeks. You will see improvement in your condition when the nail loses its discoloration.Some people also like to mix vinegar or ascetic acid in the mouthwash for faster results. But do not try this if you have extremely sensitive skin.


Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract is quite common home remedy for treating nail fungus. However, this treatment can take up to several months before your nail begins to heal. Green tea has anti-fungal properties that make it ideal for curing infections. Prepare a soak by combining green tea extract with water. You can even add a few drops of tea tree essential oil to increase the potential of the soak. Dip the infected nail in the soak for 15-20 minutes and then rinse the area with lukewarm water. The treatment should be done 3-4 times in a day for 5 months. This remedy takes time but it is very effective in removing the infection from the nail.

Garlic

Since ancient times garlic is being used for treating various fungal, bacterial and viral infections. It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. This gives the garlic the potential to cure nail fungus as well.

Crush two-three pods of garlic after peeling them. Apply the crushed garlic over the infected nail as well as the surrounding skin. Tie medical gauze over garlic and leave the garlic for up to 2 hours. Do this treatment twice a day for three weeks.
