acidophilus beer soakThe acidophilus beer soak nail fungus home treatment is possibly the littlest know in the home remedy genre. Often misspelt as acidophillis or acidophilis, the beer soak method involves, as the title suggests, soaking your feet in a bowl of beer - but not just any beer we might add.

Just as with the apple cider method, this method involves soaking your feet 3 times day and for half an hour each session. Can work out quite costly and potential to miss a day or two will put your treatment timescale back

Bowl aside, you will need a dark beer or stout of some description (brand irrelevant but Guiness is most commonly used)  - some white vinegar - and some acidophilus sachets.
