Fungal nail infections, cracked heels, and ingrown nails are some of the common foot problems most of us, and even Korean celebrities, experience. These conditions may seem like a small issue but often cause pain and fatigue and make our feet look unhealthy and unattractive.
We know you are dying to achieve that perfect-looking flawless feet like your favorite Korean actresses. Who wouldn't? Possessing nice feet can make us feel even more confident.
It's a good thing that nowadays, many foot issues can be successfully treated at home with the help of natural remedies! Some people are at greater risk of developing a foot or toenail fungus, and if you happen to fall into this category, then you might be searching for some non-medical intervention.
This article may be the answer to your questions. Let's take a closer look at how coconut oil may help you with different imperfections. The first thing you might ask is, can coconut oil be used for fungal conditions?
Let's see how this product may help you with different problems.
One of the main causes of toenail fungus is a species of yeast known as candida, and this type of fungi can be found on the human body at any given point. However, fret not because it doesn't cause any harm. It will be a problem if the fungus grows out of control, and this is what leads to the so-called "toenail fungus."
The good news is that coconut oil has excellent antifungal properties, which can fight candida. Coconut oil was discovered to be better at treating these fungi than the traditional medications.
Some people might be confused about how to use coconut oil to treat the fungus of the foot. Should you consume it or apply it to the impacted area? Yes, some coconut oil may have some benefits when consumed, but eating it to cure foot fungus isn't effective.
The antifungal property of coconut oil is effective if the oil itself is applied directly on top of the fungus. However, not all coconut oil is the same. So if you want to achieve the perfect result using this remedy, then you should choose the right kind of coconut oil. You should particularly use virgin coconut oil for toenail fungus as this type is perfect for said complication.
Applying coconut oil for feet fungus and toenail fungus is quite simple. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Wash and dry your feet.
Step 2: Melt the coconut oil.
Step 3: Slowly apply oil to affected areas
Step 4: Apply regularly until the fungus is gone
Although it is primarily meant for food, coconut oil is an incredible choice for people with more sensitive skin, and since it is organic, it is guaranteed that there aren't any impurities or pesticides in the oil. So to enjoy the virgin coconut oil benefits, all you have to do is rub it into the infected areas and achieve that perfect-looking and flawless feet like your Korean drama star.
