Cinnamon for nail fungus? Ever tried french toast? bread pudding? churros? Mexican hot chocolate? So why am I asking this and what do all these items have in common? Well, they all have one common ingredient, cinnamon. Moreover, cinnamon has been added to the list of at-home natural remedies for treating nail fungus.

Cinnamon home remedy for nail fungus

Believe it or not, cinnamon carries, what some say, powerful antifungal properties. However, in order to get the full effect, you need to use real all-natural cinnamon leaves. Begin with a cinnamon leaf that contains one to two percent cinnamon leaf oil and dilute it with some water, then put it in a spray bottle. You may then spray the infected nails with the solution you’ve created. Additionally, if you drink cinnamon tea and apply the cinnamon leaf oil on the nails directly in conjunction with this topical process, your chances of results are much higher. You may spray the nails once per day until your nails have cleared up. Additionally, the tea will help clear up the fungus from the inside out!

Although, be aware that not all home remedies work. If you want to seek medical attention, you should see a nail doctor. A nail doctor will be able to determine if you have a nail fungus. They will provide you with the best treatment options for nail fungus.

Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus

If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes on treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. Oral medication is not recommended by our nail doctors. This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication. 

Our nail doctor in Philadelphia, PA recommends this treatment. The PinPointe Laser treatment has the highest cure rate in the market. It has no side effects and no recovery period. As a result, you can go about your daily activities right after the treatment. Also, it is not painful.
