I’ve been suffering with toe nail fungus for 9 years. I recently started soaking my toes in warm vinegar for 20-30 minutes, after, I scrape off the white residue that surrounds the cuticle and under the nail. When it dries I apply Tea tree oil, that I bought from a local Walgreens. I wish I took a before picture, because although my toe nails my still look bad, they were much worse than any picture I’ve seen so far. My left pinky toe has improved the most and in seeing that I am more dedicated in continuing my home treatment. All my toe nail’s were dark yellow and standing straight up while both my big toe nails were at least 1/2 inch thick and round.

These are excellent photos of what one can do with their own vinegar and tee tree oil. Thanks Donna for sending them in, it is inspiring to see that you have had some success with your own work on it!
Good photos, too, with your notes included so we can see the clearer areas that you have created.
Not everyone is a big fan of it. But some people like putting a little on their French fries along with a dash of salt. Others say that it’s great for cleaning their fish before seasoning it and putting it in the oven. You even have those who put a little of it in the wash with their clothes, insisting that it “helps the colours not to fade”. And, believe it or not, it’s also known as a treatment for toenail fungus!
Hello vinegar. We thought we knew you. But, it seems, there’s so much more about you that we have to learn! Most of us think of vinegar as a food product, primarily used for the flavouring of a variety of foods. After all, what’s salt and vinegar potato chips without this all-important ingredient, right? But white distilled vinegar is so much more than a simple condiment.
According to VinegarTips.com, “white distilled vinegar is a popular household cleanser, effective for killing most mold, bacteria, and germs, due to its level of acidity. Cleaning with white distilled vinegar is a smart way to avoid using harsh chemicals.” And although the site points out that vinegar is “environmentally friendly”, its household cleaner description doesn’t make it all that appetizing.
But for those who are suffering from a toenail fungus infection, vinegar’s taste is the last of their worries. The acetic acid content in vinegar helps for it to be a great cleaning product. And as WikiHow.com reveals, “fungus cannot live in an acidic environment.” Perhaps vinegar then, is the most cost-effective and easy-to-find toenail fungus solution on the market!
The website notes that if you are experiencing a toenail fungus infection, you should apply a generous amount of vinegar to the affected nails one to two times per day. If the infected nails are thick, you may want to gently file them first, in order to allow for the vinegar to better penetrate them. Allow the nails to air dry and try to scrape out any dead fungus or debris that may remain under the nails.
By repeating this process daily, a noticeable improvement should be made within a week or two, claims WikiHow.com. However, it may take several months for new and healthy nails to grow out. As long as there is a fungus problem, continue to try the vinegar method. As mentioned, its acid content works to destroy fungus, so it has got to be worth a shot, right?
Some people may experience skin irritation due to the white vinegar. On Top10HomeRemedies.com, it is suggested that you mix one part white vinegar with two parts water for an ideal solution. Soak the foot in this mixture for ten to fifteen minutes for best results. The site believes that “white vinegar is one of the best ingredients that can be used in the treatment of toenail fungus.”
