3. Soak Your Nails
If you already have a minor nail infection, then one easy natural home remedy is to just soak your infected nail. Fill a dish halfway with warm water and add your usual antibacterial soap. Soak your hand for fifteen minutes at a time, at least three to four times a day to see improvement.
