What is garlic tonic used for?
First of all, the functions of ready-made garlic tonic are not always the same as those prepared at home. This is because its ingredients vary greatly, thus bringing different benefits. However, considering the composition of most products available on the market, we highlight the following features – provided they are used in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Garlic Tonic: How to use
- Do a touch test before application, thus avoiding allergic reactions;
- Apply the product all over the scalp;
- Massage with circular movements, pressing with your fingertips;
- Let the garlic tonic work for about two to three hours;
