1. Soak in vinegar and garlic juice

You can try soaking your nails in vinegar every day to soften them and then grind off the parts of the nails that can be polished off. Keep soaking and polishing your nails every day for about 3 months until the normal nails grow out completely. Personally, I suggest adding crushed garlic or garlic juice to the vinegar.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

Add some apple cider vinegar to warm water and mix well. Soak your nails in the water for about 15-20 minutes and then dry them completely.

3. Tea tree oil plus olive oil

Tea tree oil can act as a good nail fungus treatment because it contains a natural antiseptic that can help fight off a host of fungi. Take some pure tea tree oil and mix it with a few drops of olive oil. Apply this mixture to the infected nail.

4. Tea tree oil plus lavender oil

Use a cotton ball to apply a mixture of tea tree oil and lavender oil to your nails. Do this 3-4 times a day. This remedy is said to be effective in treating nail fungus.
