Salt for nail fungus? Can salt be used as a cure for nail fungus? Salt has been found to be an at-home remedy for a number of things these days; sore throats, the healing of wounds, a disinfectant, and even a stain remover. Although sodium is a strong chemical and bonds easily, the chances of it working as a solution for the above issues and others is 50/50 chance. Now, we have found that some individuals have found salt to help kill toenail fungus.

Does salt cure nail fungus?

In terms of killing the nail fungus, salt is said to get rid of toxins and helps improve the overall health of the toes and nails. You may try this method and will simply need a mini tub, foot basin, or anything large enough to soak your feet in as well as Epsom salt. Begin by adding warm water to the tub, enough water that would cover the feet entirely once placed in. Proceed by adding 2 cups of the Epsom salt then stir the salt into the water until it thoroughly dissolves. Finally, you should soak the feet for about thirty minutes. You may repeat this process daily until you see the fungus clearing.

Since salt absorbs moisture, you may notice your feet drying more than usual. To prevent this from happening it is also important to moisturize after each soak. Also, if you would like a professional opinion, you should see a nail doctor. Our nail doctors recommend laser treatment 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.

Our nail doctor in Deerfield Beach, FL 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.
