Nail fungus can be stubborn and challenging to get rid of, but nature provides powerful antifungal ingredients that can help restore your nails to their healthy state. This remedy combines the potent properties of cloves and oranges to fight nail fungus both externally and internally. With consistent use, this method can help eliminate fungus effectively and naturally.
Why Cloves and Oranges?
- Cloves are one of the most effective natural antifungal agents. They contain eugenol, a compound known for its antimicrobial properties that help fight infections.
- Oranges are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and antioxidants, which support immune function and help the body combat fungal infections.
- Olive oil is a great carrier oil that helps in extracting the beneficial compounds from cloves and makes application easy.
- Baking soda helps balance the skin’s pH, making it harder for fungi to thrive.
How to Make and Use This Nail Fungus Remedy
Step 1: Prepare the Clove Oil
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of whole clove buds
- 200 ml of olive oil
Instructions:
- Grind the cloves into a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
- In a heatproof jar, mix the clove powder with olive oil.
- Place a cloth at the bottom of a pot and fill it with water.
- Set the jar in the pot, ensuring the water level is below the lid.
- Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes to allow the cloves to infuse into the oil.
- Strain the mixture to separate the clove powder from the oil. Keep both the solid clove paste and the liquid clove-infused oil, as both will be used in the treatment.
