3. Baking Soda

Baking soda is highly alkaline; therefore, when applied to the foot, baking soda can help bring your pH level into balance, making it more difficult for fungi and bacteria to grow. Baking soda is highly alkaline and can balance your pH level so it’s more difficult for fungi to grow.

• Mix two parts baking soda to one part water in a small dish to make a paste.
• Use a cotton swab to apply the paste over the entire nail and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• Then rinse the paste off and pat the nail dry. Repeat this treatment twice a day until the fungus dies (it can take up to 2 weeks).

The nail may fall off, but this is normal when treating nail fungus, and a new, healthy toenail should be growing instead.
