Nail fungus can be frustrating, stubborn, and honestly… a little embarrassing. I’ve dealt with it for a while, trying various over-the-counter treatments with little to no success. That was until I stumbled upon a DIY remedy that surprisingly worked for me: a simple mix of mouthwash and chopped ginger.
I wasn't expecting a miracle, but after just two months of consistent use, I saw real results—my nail fungus was gone.
My DIY Mix: What I Used
Antiseptic mouthwash (I used one with ingredients like thymol, eucalyptol, and menthol)
Fresh chopped ginger

What I Noticed
* Within the first few weeks, the discoloration began to fade.
* After about a month, my nail started looking healthier.
* By two months, the fungus had disappeared, and healthy nail growth had returned.
Why I Think It Worked
Mouthwash has antiseptic and antifungal properties, while ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and natural antimicrobial effects. Together, they created a solution that seemed to fight the infection effectively—at least for me.
