**Embarrassed by Nail Fungus? Try White Vinegar!** **Helpful Netizen (Harmonious Society QQ315931840):** Hello, Teacher Hu! I’d like to share a home remedy for treating nail fungus: Take one pound of 9-degree white rice vinegar and 100 grams of Sichuan peppercorns (regular peppercorns will also work). Soak the peppercorns in the vinegar for 24 hours, then remove and discard them, keeping the vinegar. Prepare a few small plastic medicine bottles with openings large enough to fit the affected finger or toe. Cut two pieces of sponge: one round piece the same size as the bottle’s base to place at the bottom, and one rectangular piece to line the inside wall of the bottle. Pour a small amount of the peppercorn-infused vinegar into the bottle, ensuring the sponges are fully saturated but not dripping when the bottle is turned upside down. Wear the bottle on the affected finger or toe for 1-2 hours daily (you can do this while watching TV or sleeping). Replace the vinegar in the bottle every 7 days. After 15-30 days, the newly grown nails should be healthy. This remedy is highly effective. Both remedies are for external use and are very safe. The nail fungus remedy, in particular, is one I personally improved and shared after using it myself. It has safely and effectively cured many people. For example, a colleague’s husband, who had suffered from tinea manuum and pedis for 30 years and had severe nail fungus on all 20 fingers and toes, tried this remedy. His tinea cracks healed within two weeks, and after six months, 18 of his nails had completely recovered, with only two nails showing minor remaining issues. Patients must persist with the treatment to achieve a complete cure. **Contributor:** Teacher Yin
