How to Make an Antifungal Nail Treatment

This antifungal nail treatment works great to help get rid of nail fungus and infections. Red Cedar Leaves may be hard to find in your area, but they can't be substituted with anything else.

Things You'll Need

• 1/4 Cup of Red Cedar Leaves
• 1/4 Cup of Glycerin
• 1/4 Cup of Water
• 1 Tablespoon of Ethyl Alcohol

Instructions

1. For the Red Cedar leaves, make sure the 1/4 cup is tight packed.

2. Take the leaves, and chop them into smaller pieces, or put them in a processor. The pieces should be around 1/10th of their original size, a bit less would be fine, but you don't want them to be finely ground.

3. Put the leaves into a small glass jar. If possible, use a dark glass jar, not a clear one.

4. Warm the water in a double broiler set to high for about 2 minutes, then pour the water over the leaves.

5. Add in the glycerin and alcohol, then stir the mixture together gently.

6. Put the lid on tight, and store in a cool, dry place. Allow the mixture to set for about 10 days. Every day or two, try to remember to shake the container gently to help it steep thoroughly.

7. After 10 days, strain the mixture into another jar or small bottle. Store the bottle or jar in a cool dry place between uses.

8. To use the mixture, use a Qtip to apply it to the infected nail(s) 1-2 times per day.
