Nail fungus (onychomycosis) can be stubborn, embarrassing, and painful. But did you know you can eliminate it naturally using simple ingredients from your kitchen?
Garlic and lemon are powerful antifungal agents that kill the fungus, prevent its spread, and help your nails grow back healthy and strong! 💅✨
🌿 Why Garlic & Lemon Work Against Nail Fungus
✅ Garlic 🧄 – Contains allicin, a natural antifungal and antibacterial compound that kills fungus and prevents infection.
✅ Lemon 🍋 – Packed with citric acid, which stops fungal growth, whitens discolored nails, and strengthens nail tissue.
✅ Both ingredients fight inflammation, disinfect the nail, and speed up healing!
