Is a persistent fungal infection the source of yellow, thick, and damaged nails? Try this easy, all-natural home cure before turning to often unpleasant pharmaceuticals. Without using chemicals, you may cleanse your nails, limit the growth of fungus, and give them a healthier look with simply salt and lemon.

Why are these two ingredients effective?

Lemon, high in citric acid, is a recognized natural antifungal. It helps remove fungus, brighten nails and sanitize the affected area.

 

Salt, especially sea salt or Himalayan pink salt, is bactericidal, shed, and absorbent. It hampers fungal growth while  cleaning d3ad cells around the nail.
