Menthol Rub  

Applying mentholated ointments such as strong-smelling Vicks VapoRub has been shown to be a safe, cost-effective treatment for toenail fungus, often more effective than over-the counter products. Applying vicks to the affedted nails once daily helped either cure or partially clear up the fungus.

Vicks is easy to apply and worth trying before turning to more costly alternatives. Be sure to first wipe the affected nail s with a cotton ball soaked in white vinegar, then apply the VapoRub.
