Having toenail fungus is certainly something that most people try their best to get rid of. It is nasty to look at and not a nice thing to have at all. So they look for various ways to treat the problem and this can often lead to confusion as there are so many available. They even find bizarre statements that using mouthwash can be used to kill toenail fungus.
So how true are those statements?
Well from a medical stand point, there is no proof that using mouthwash will have a medical effect on fungus. But if you look around at quotes from people who have actually tried it, you will see that it has had a positive effect on treating their own toenail fungus.
As fungus is generally not an easy thing to remove, it is important that a strong and powerful substance be used. That is why Listerine is one of the favoured treatments for toenail fungus because it is one of the strongest mouthwashes on the market.
So how do you use it?
It is very easy to use, just add a small amount into a bowl with some warm water and soak your feet in the bowl for 30 minutes or so. You would do this once or twice a day until it starts to work. But many people have reported that it can take several weeks before it has an effect.
So if you are using Listerine once or twice a day, it can quickly become a chore to use and to buy. It isn’t the cheapest mouthwash on the market and soaking your feet every day can become annoying.
Rather than using this method, you can look at a more instant and powerful treatment such as ZetaClear.
