Dealing with nail fungus can be frustrating—it’s slow to heal, unsightly, and often returns. But nature offers a powerful solution that’s sitting right in your spice rack: cloves! Known for their strong antifungal, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties, cloves can help kill fungus, cleanse the nail, and restore healthy growth.
🧴 Why Cloves?
- Contains eugenol, a potent natural antifungal compound
- Penetrates deep into the nail bed to fight the root of the infection
- Helps stop fungus from spreading to other nails
- Soothes inflammation and supports nail healing
🧪 Clove Remedy for Nail Fungus
Option 1: Clove Oil Application
Ingredients:
- 100% pure clove essential oil
- Cotton swab or clean brush
How to Use:
- Wash and dry the affected nail thoroughly.
- Apply a drop of clove oil directly on the infected nail and under the tip if possible.
- Let it absorb—do not rinse.
- Apply twice daily, morning and night.
Option 2: Homemade Clove Infused Oil
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
How to Make:
- Heat the oil and add cloves. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes on low.
- Cool, strain, and store in a glass bottle.
- Apply to the nail 2–3 times a day for strong results.
🧼 Additional Tips:
- File the nail surface gently once a week to help the oil penetrate deeper.
- Always keep feet and hands dry and clean.
