Toenail fungus (onychomycosis), can be cured at home safely with minimal side effects by the use of vinegar soaks. Fungal infection of the toenails can cause the toes to become unsightly because of discoloration and thickening. It can cause a lot of pain if it is not treated and it separates the nail form the nail bed. In the worst case scenario the fungi can cause irreparable damage to the toenails.

Keep in mind that Vinegar’s acidity will restore the nails and skin pH to be unfavorable to the growth of fungus. Thus, it will cause relief to the affected skin and nails and prevent further spread of the fungus. Knowing how to do the soaks correctly will make the healing process faster and more effective. Furthermore, it will save you the money that you would otherwise have to spend on buying treatment products from the pharmacy.How to Use Vinegar Soaks to Cure Toenail Fungus
