Soak garlic in white vinegar to get rid of onychomycosis

　　Huang Anni from Shanghai provided: I suffered from onychomycosis before, which was particularly difficult to treat. Later, someone introduced me to a folk remedy. I continued to use it for more than two months, and the effect was obvious. It has been more than two years now, and the onychomycosis has never relapsed. I would like to introduce this recipe to friends who are also confused. The specific method is: peel the garlic head, flatten it with the back of a knife, soak it in an appropriate amount of white vinegar, and soak it for 1 to 2 months. The garlic will turn green. 3 to 4 times a day, dip a cotton swab in vinegar soaked in garlic and apply it on clean and cut nails. Keep using it and you will definitely see results. Garlic soaked in vinegar is edible and has no side effects. Moreover, after soaking the garlic for a long time, it will still have a garlic aroma. This recipe is also suitable for tinea pedis, tinea corporis and other skin ringworms.

　　Liu Wanli, chairman of the External Treatment Professional Committee of the Jiangsu Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, commented: Onychomycosis is onychomycosis, which is called "goose claw wind" in traditional Chinese medicine, and is caused by microbial infections such as fungi. Garlic has a pungent and warm taste and has detoxifying and sterilizing effects. Vinegar contains citric acid, edible acetic acid, and sodium benzoate, which also have bactericidal and antiseptic effects. The mixture of the two has a strong effect on killing fungi. Both raw materials are edible and relatively safe, so friends who are confused may wish to give it a try.

　　It should be reminded that abnormality in fingernails or toenails does not necessarily mean onychomycosis. Many skin diseases and systemic diseases can also cause nail changes, such as nail lesions caused by psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, Raynaud's syndrome, etc. The symptoms are similar to onychomycosis, and it is often difficult for patients to distinguish them by themselves. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone consult an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner before using this folk remedy to avoid misdiagnosis.
