properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conventional treatments for nail fungus include antifungal creams, medicated nail polishes, and even oral medications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10 drops of tea tree oil (antifungal and antibacterial effect)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 drops of
