10 Best Essential Oils for Toenail fungus Remedies

6. Eucalyptus Oil

Along with having a pleasant, fresh smell this oil is a major immune booster and has antifungal properties.

When your immune system is strengthened, having minor skin cut or infection of another kind will not increase chances of getting infected by a fungus causing toenail fungus.

This oil also stimulates blood flow to the feet which helps to fight off infections more easily.

Eucalyptus oil may be used in many ways – as a foot soak, toe gauze wrap or direct application.

But the direct application gives the best and quickest results.

How to use eucalyptus oil for toe fungus:

  • Prepare a mixture of 2 to 3 drops of eucalyptus oil along with a carrier oil of your choice.
  • Next, use a cotton ball to soak in the solution made and dab onto the toenail affected and let it dry completely.
  • Repeat this process twice or thrice each day for best results until you achieve relief.

Note: It is recommended that all essential oils are used in combination with a carrier oil to avoid concentrated application of the oil which may sometimes produce undesirable effects, such as irritation or burning sensation.
