Baking Soda
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a common ingredient used in baking. Its primary function is to give foods like bread, cakes, cookies, and muffins a light and soft texture. This function is possible due to its leavening properties. Leavening is described as the reaction of a substance with acids, such as lemon juice or vinegar, which causes the dough to rise by producing carbon dioxide.
Baking soda has a positive reaction to fungal infections, making it the best home remedy for toenail fungus. It has antifungal properties, which kill fungi-caused diseases. In addition, its balancing acids properties have made baking soda a good treatment for toenail fungus. It helps maintain the pH balance levels in the toenails, keeping them free from fungal infection.
To cure toenail fungus, apply baking soda to a wet foot. Another method is to make a baking soda paste, which is only composed of baking soda and a minimal amount of water. Apply the paste to the affected area and let it sit for 10 to 25 minutes; rinse the toenail with warm water and dry it thoroughly.
