Home Remedy--Healthy Toenails

Good morning. Here are a few tips for healthy toenails. At the very least, your toes will smell very nice with most of these remedies, lol.

Fungus on finger or toenails

*Use Vicks Vapor Rub-Take a nail file and run it over the surface of the toenail. Rub it both horizontally and laterally to make uneven grooves in the top of the nail.
Then rub Vicks Vapor Rub into the top of the toenail. The grooves will help keep the Vicks on the toenail. Do this for several days/nights in a row as often as you can.
The Eucalyptus in the Vicks will kill the fungus on the nail.

*Tea tree oil serves as an effective home remedy foe toe nail fungus, as it is a natural antiseptic that helps a great deal in fighting with fungus. Take some undiluted tea tree oil and mix a few drops of olive oil in it. Apply this mixed oil on the affected toenails.

*For healthy toenails, soak your toes in Listerine mouthwash.

*In warm water, add some apple cider vinegar and mix well. Soak your toenails in the water for about 15-20 minutes. Thereafter, dry your toes completely.
Apply a mixture of tea tree oil and lavender oil on the toenails using cotton balls. Do it 3-4 times in a day. This remedy is very effective in curing toenail fungus.

*Soaking the affected nail(s) with distilled vinegar kills off the fungus rather quickly. Apply daily after bathing and let the vinegar dry thoroughly before dressing.

Well, just 12 days until we leave for Ft. Benning. They gave the boys their cell phones back. David sent some pictures to his fiance and she printed them out and brought them over for us. I can't believe how great he looks. He had really put on some weight since he graduated high school. But he looks so good now. So grown up...



In the second photo he looks just as surprise as myself, at how much weight he has lost. But he really looks good and I just can't wait to get down there and see my boy in person. So different from that 13 year old boy that let his hair grow long and was playing the drums. My first born is all grown up and it is making me feel a wee bit old.

12 days, twelve days...288 hours, and we will be leaving. YEA! Even Rylie is excited about it. Every day she says "Mom, we're going to see David tomorrow", lol. I showed her with her fingers and mine how many more days it would be till we left. She looked at me, held up two fingers and said "No, two days Mom." LOL I wish!

It's adding up to be a bit expensive, but hopefully we will be able to borrow a mini van. The rental is just waaaaaaaaay too much for us to do at this time. We need to keep all our expenses down as much as possible. We did pay about $7 more, per night, than the cheapest rate I was able to find for the hotel. However, the one we got offers a free full breakfast, so that will save us money in the long run.

Have a really wonderful weekend.
Hugs!
