Peel the garlic cloves and crush them into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle or a garlic press.

Clean and dry the affected toenail thoroughly before applying the paste.
How to Use Garlic Paste
Apply the garlic paste directly to the affected toenail. Be sure to cover the entire nail, including the edges and cuticles where the fungus may have spread.
Wrap the toe with a small piece of gauze or a bandage to hold the paste in place.
Leave the paste on for at least 30 minutes, allowing the garlic to penetrate the nail and kill the fungus.
Rinse your foot with warm water and dry it thoroughly.
Repeat this process daily for several weeks until the fungus clears up and healthy nail growth begins.
Tips for Best Results
Be consistent: Toenail fungus can be persistent, so it’s important to stick with the treatment daily for the best results.
Keep nails clean and dry: Fungus thrives in warm, moist environments, so be sure to keep your feet dry and clean during the healing process.
