Listerine for Toenail Fungus - Now I've Heard Everything

Listerine antiseptic is a mouthwash product that has been around for decades and is alcohol-based. There are some people that have claimed to have cured toenail fungus by simply soaking their feet in Listerine. Over time, they claim that this is very effective in killing off the fungus. The problem of course is that being alcohol-based means that any cracks in your feet will quickly be found in very painful.

This is one of those natural fungal infection remedies that have many more people claiming it did not work than those who claim success. You need to be aware that many of the homeopathic or natural remedies and cures have not been tested in a formal research environment. This simply means that the treatment regimen used can vary dramatically from one person to the next.

While some may suggest soaking your feet and mouthwash, others who claim success only used a 50-50 mixture a blistering and water. Others, heated the product before use. Still others follow a regimen plan that included a several times a day soak, with others only doing it in the evening.

For the most part, many who advocate and claim that Listerine is a good nail fungus cure are not clear on its use, why it works, or even the correct product to use. Using listerine to cure toenail fungus is a popular though questionable method to completely cure nail fungus infections.

There are currently six different versions and flavors of Listerine antiseptic mouthwash. It's not clear if the common ingredients are what affects the fungal infection or if it's a special ingredient found in one specific product.

It would be a shame to spend all the money purchasing the citric variety only to find out later that only the original should be used.

Still, you cannot deny the effectiveness of all natural or folk medicine cures simply based on the effectiveness of one treatment option. Remember that many treatments offered by the established medical community are also not 100% effective for every person.

Another thing to remember is that your nails are dead material like your hair. There's no way to "cure" your toenail. The only way a fungus infection toenail is cured is to protect new and healthy growth and clip off the infected nail until all that's left is healthy and smooth nail. The good news is that you can easily protect the new nail growth naturally using some very effective deep penetrating essential oils such as those found in Fung-B-Gone .

Growing new and healthy nails does take months, however, and you need to realize that any product that would promise to cure your toenail problem fast or quickly is not being honest. Many products use topical ointments that may make the infected and dead toenail material look better but it really isn't a cure at all.

Consistency is the key in getting rid of toenail fungus. It takes months to grow new nails and you need to protect that healthy nail from being re infected. The Listerine antiseptic cure does nothing to protect new nail growth. This is probably why there are few success stories using this product as a total fungus cure.

While there are many natural remedies on the market today, none are more effective than Fung-B-Gone in growing healthy toenails and helping your finally get rid of nail fungus. Visit the Fung-B-Gone page for more information on this amazing product.
