10 Home Remedies For Ingrown Toenails
Home Remedy #10: Garlic
Legend has it that garlic is able to keep vampires away. While this is almost certainly nothing but folklore, garlic does have some properties that we can be more certain of. As well as being a popular ingredient in food, garlic is also thought to have certain medicinal properties.
Garlic has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation, and this can help to accelerate healing. It also has antimicrobial properties that can help prevent an infection from occurring. To use it, crush two to three cloves of garlic and apply them to the affected area, wrapping it with a bandage before you go to bed. Do this every day to help encourage the healing of the nail.
