Tea Tree oil is known to have a number of benefits and helps treat a variety of problems. It has also been added to the list of antifungal remedies. Tea tree oil for toenail fungus is a well-known homeopathic medicine. It is also an oil that is included in nail polish to give antifungal properties. Tea tree oil has been found to have antiseptic and antibacterial elements. It has been used for a multitude of skin impairments as well as nail conditions, such as toenail fungus.

When applied directly to the infected toenails, the antifungal properties kick in. You may use either a cotton ball or cotton swab for this process. Begin by soaking a cotton ball in the water then applying 3 to 4 drops of the tea tree oil onto the cotton. Then apply the cotton ball onto the toenails making sure it saturates. You may repeat this process twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening until the nails have cleared up.

This treatment might work for patients with very mild cases but usually will not help with severe infections. Our doctors typically will recommend using tea tree oil as post-treatment care. This will help patients to protect themselves from reinfection.
