The first step to eliminating foot fungus with home remedies is to identify the type of fungus present. The main types of foot fungus are: dermatophyte (athlete’s foot), onychomycosis (nail infection), and fish eye (interdigital heloma). The latter usually appears on the soles of the feet as a white callus.
After identifying the fungus, you can choose one of the home remedies listed here to eliminate it.
Lemon: Get a couple of juicy lemons and squeeze them into a container. Then apply the lemon drops to the areas affected by the fungus and let them sit for 5 minutes.
Garlic oil
or ground garlic should be applied to the affected areas twice a day, morning and night. Treatment should last at least 15 days and at most two months (in extreme cases).
Baking Soda:
In a small container, pour two tablespoons of water and add one tablespoon of baking soda. Mix until a paste forms. Apply the paste to the affected areas and let it sit for 5 minutes. For the final step, wash your feet with warm water. You can do this treatment every other day.
Salt Water:
Pour half a liter of hot water into a large bowl, add nine tablespoons of salt, and stir until dissolved. Finally, soak your feet for 45 minutes and pat dry.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Mix half a liter of water with half a liter of vinegar in a large container and soak your feet in it for half an hour. This treatment should be done twice a day (in the morning and at night before bed).
