Benefits of Using a DIY Treatment
DIY treatments provide numerous benefits, including cost-effectiveness, ease of preparation, and control over the ingredients used. By utilizing natural ingredients like garlic and rosemary, you can avoid the harsh chemicals and potential side effects often associated with commercial antifungal treatments.
