Nail Fungus Treatment Using Apple Cider Vinegar

The most common, popular and widely used home remedy or home cure to treat both toenail and fingernail fungus is the Apple Cider Vinegar method.

Apple Cider Vinegar, or ACV has many medicinal benefits to human health – it has been used for centuries all over the world.

ACV can relieve the symptoms of aches and pains, it is great to help improve digestion and of course it can kill the bacteria that causes fungal nail infection.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Although the apple cider variety is the most commonly used white vinegar can be used just as effectively as an alternative.

How Does Apple Cider Vinegar Treat Nail Fungus

Although the apple cider vinegar method is billed as a cure – most, if not all home remedies do not cure the fungal infection. It is more a case of preventing further spread of the bacteria and reversing the visiable signs of damage that fungus can do a toenail or fingernail.

How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar To Treat Nail Fungus

There are two distint ways to use vinegar – the first is to drink a litre every day. This will help fight the bacteria from within.

Drinking ACV will improve your constitution and not only help reduce the bacterial infection but add to your all round good health.

Although drinking ACV is beneficial it is not the best use of the remedy.

The second and most common use is to apply directly to the infected areas. This is done by soaking your feet in a bowl that includes 1 part vinegar and 1 part water – in a similar fashion to the Acidophilus Beer Soak treatment.

Does Apple Cider Vinegar Cure Nail Fungus Work

As mention above, ACV is not a cure but a prevention. Vinegar will not completely destroy the bacteria.

Many users who adopt this remedy will allocate 6 months to soaking their feet or hands (1 or 2 times per day) to remove the physical signs of the infection and then continue to drink a litre per day thereafter.

What Are The Negatives To ACV

The obvious negatives are the simple fact that vinegar is not pleasant to smell. AFter time you will become will used to the odour – but others wont!

Where To Buy Apple Cider Vinegar

There is not a specialist product that can be bought as such – Apple Cider Vinegar can be purchased from many health stores and even at local supermarkets.

Verdict

ACV is possibly the best home remedy in terms of cost and daily application time. Home remedies are are really effective for the early satages of fungal infection.

Using Acidophilus Beer Soak For Nail Fungus

Possibly the most under used and little known home remedy for treating the effetcs of nail fungus is the Beer Soak method.

It should be stressed that any dark beer can be used but in recent years Acidophilus is by far the most popular and widely used. Occasionally spelt acidophillis or acidophilis – the treatment is centred around soaking your hands or feet in a bowl of beer.

What Is Acidophilus

Acidophilus is a combination of bacteria that can help our immune system fight infection and help with digestion in humans. The bacterial compound includes acidophilus, L Casei and L bulgaricus. Acidophilus usually is purchased in sachet form – each sachet contains 125 billion live bacteria.

This treatment is not the most easy to use and can be quite time consuming considering the fact that you will need to soak the infected areas (toenails or fingernails) three times a day and around half an hour each session.

How To Use Acidophilus Beer Soak To Treat Nail Fungus

Asuming that you have plumped for Acidophilus variety you will need:

• A large bowl big enough for either hands or feet
• A sachet of Acidophilus
• Some white vinegar
• Some dark beer ie Guinness
• One and a half hours per day

Once you have the following – pour a litre of beer (Guinness) into the bowl followed by the sachet of Acidophilus. Then add around half a litre of white vinegar.

Mix the solution well then leave to for approximately 20 minutes.

It is advisable to mix a larger volume of the solution for the whole day (3 times the above dosage) this will save on the preparation time.

How Quickly Does The Beer Soak Take To Work

Most home remedy nail fungus treatments offer a completely natural solution but do take time and can (especially the beer soak method) be prohibitive in terms of time.

Depending on the severity of the condition at least 6 months should be anticipated.

Any Side Effects

No adverse reaction occur, however if you do experience a burning sensation stop the treatment and consult your GP.

Where to Buy Acidophilus Sachets From

Most high street health stores – such as Holland and Barrett etc should stock. If you cannot find a source that stocks the sachets then either tablet or capsule form will suffice (the capsules can be pulverised before introduction into the solution.)

Other Anti-Fungal Treatments To Consider

Zetaclear – has the potency of a chemical solution but remaining a natural and herbal compound that should not cause any untoward side effects.
