Is a persistent fungal infection the source of yellow, thick, and damaged nails? Try this easy, all-natural home cure before turning to often unpleasant pharmaceuticals. Without using chemicals, you may cleanse your nails, limit the growth of fungus, and give them a healthier look with simply salt and lemon.
