In a suitable environment, dermatophytes or fungi can easily spread under the nail, generating an infection, known as the mycosis or the nail—of nail fungus.

This fungus can appear on both the feet and hands and is known as onychomycosis.

Although not a serious health problem, nail fungus can weaken and break the nail.

It can also cause pain when wearing close-toed shoes and, over time you’ll notice that the nails turn yellow and ugly.

There are several over-the-counter medications that promise to treat nail fungus, but it can also be treated naturally through the use of turmeric, which has anti-fungal properties.

Turmeric has an active compound called curcumin that has medicinal properties. It combats nail fungus and can also strengthen the nails.

Coconut oil has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal substances that have helped stop the multiplication of yeasts, which cause nail fungus.

Ingredients

3 tbsp organic coconut oil
3 tbsp turmeric powder

Method of preparation

Put the coconut oil in the pan to melt it. Add the turmeric powder and stir over low heat until creamy.
Separate to cool and store.

How to use

Apply the cream on the affected area by toenail fungus and leave it alone for a period of 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse.

Apply every day until you notice a noticeable change in nails.
