Well they work by helping to kill off the bacteria. It makes the environment they are breeding in not as easy for them to grow in. So eventually they recede and disappear. But this can take months and months for them to start working.

Tea Tree Oil is another treatment that people try and use on their toenail fungus. It originates from a tree in Australia called the Melaleuca Alternifolia and used for many things. It has a natural antibacterial quality so it helps to remove bacteria form the body. Although it isn’t recognized medically as a treatment, many people have stated that it has helped to reduce their toenail fungus.

But like Listerine and Vicks, it needs to be constantly applied to the affected area so that it can take effect. Again this can take several months before it will start to work. So tea tree oil will certainly have a positive effect but might not be the fast answer you were looking for.

If you need a fast answer, then you should look at a product names ZetaClear. It works instantly on removing the fungus using its powerful formula. It is very effective, perfectly safe to use and is one of the quickest ways you can remove your toenail fungus.

Of course, if you have only recently noticed the fungus, then you should consult with a doctor to determine exactly what it is before starting to use any treatments.
