You’ll need:

• 1–2 raw garlic cloves
• Gauze or a breathable bandage

What to do:

1. Crush the garlic until it forms a paste.
2. Apply directly to the affected nail.
3. Cover with gauze or a bandage — but don’t seal it too tightly.
4. Let it sit for 30–60 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly and dry well.
6. Repeat once a day for 1–2 weeks. You might notice improvements in just a few days.

Option 2: Garlic Oil Soak

You’ll need:

• 2–3 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• A bowl of warm water

How to do it:

1. Gently heat the crushed garlic in olive oil (don’t boil).
2. Let it cool, then strain out the garlic pieces.
3. Add the infused oil to a warm water basin.
4. Soak your toes or fingers for 15–20 minutes.
5. Dry completely — especially between the toes.

Pro Tips for Best Results
