Garlic Essential Oil

Herbology Garlic Essential Oil is 100% pure, therapeutic grade Allium sativum (Garlic) bulb oil, steam distilled from fresh garlic bulbs, one of the most extensively researched, most universally used, and most pharmacologically validated medicinal plants in human history. Known as "Lehsun" in Urdu and Hindi, garlic has been used as a medicinal plant for over 5,000 years across ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, India, and the Arab world. It is mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus (circa 1550 BCE) as a treatment for over 22 ailments, was given to the builders of the Egyptian pyramids to maintain their strength and health, was used by Hippocrates as a medicine for respiratory conditions and infections, and is described in detail in the classical Unani texts of Ibn Sina as one of the most powerful medicinal botanicals available. Garlic was so valued by ancient Roman soldiers that it was called "the stinking rose" and consumed daily for strength, endurance, and protection against infection. In modern pharmacology, garlic is one of the most extensively studied natural substances, with over 5,000 peer reviewed clinical studies documenting its therapeutic properties.

Garlic Essential Oil's primary active compound is allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate), produced when garlic is crushed or processed, along with diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, and ajoene, a composition of organosulfur compounds that delivers the most potent natural antimicrobial, antifungal, and circulation stimulating action of any commonly used essential oil. Allicin's antimicrobial mechanism involves the inhibition of sulfhydryl containing enzymes in microbial cells, a broad spectrum mechanism that is effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites, making it one of the most comprehensively antimicrobial natural compounds known. On the scalp, its antifungal action directly addresses dandruff causing Malassezia fungi, while its vasodilatory and circulation stimulating action increases blood flow to hair follicles, delivering more nutrients and oxygen to the follicle for stronger, healthier hair growth. Its sulfur content is directly relevant to hair health: sulfur is an essential component of keratin, the structural protein of hair, and topical sulfur application has been used in traditional medicine for hair strengthening for centuries. In massage, its vasodilatory and anti inflammatory properties provide genuine circulation stimulating and muscle relief benefits. Garlic Essential Oil has a powerful, characteristic aroma that requires careful blending and dilution.

How to Use

• Scalp treatment (primary use): Add 3 to 5 drops to 30ml of carrier oil (coconut or jojoba) and massage into scalp. Leave for 30 to 60 minutes before washing out thoroughly. Use 1 to 2 times per week for dandruff control and hair strengthening. The strong aroma dissipates after washing.
• Hair strengthening blend: Add 3 to 5 drops to 30ml of carrier oil and apply to hair lengths and scalp. Leave for 30 minutes before washing out. Combine with rosemary and castor oil for a comprehensive hair growth and strengthening blend.
• Antimicrobial skin care: Add 1 to 2 drops to 30ml of carrier oil and apply to targeted skin areas for antimicrobial and anti inflammatory benefits. Use at very low concentrations due to potency.
• DIY formulations: Add at 0.1 to 0.5% concentration in hair care formulations for its antifungal, antimicrobial, and sulfur strengthening properties. Pairs effectively with tea tree, rosemary, and peppermint for a comprehensive scalp health and hair growth blend.
• Tip: Lehsun (garlic) has been used in South Asian hair care traditions for centuries, with grandmothers across the subcontinent applying garlic infused oils to children's hair for strength and scalp health. Garlic Essential Oil delivers that same traditional therapeutic action in a concentrated, convenient form. The strong aroma is temporary and dissipates completely after washing, leaving no residual garlic scent on hair.
• Important: Always dilute before skin application (0.1 to 0.5% in carrier oil). Never apply undiluted due to high potency of organosulfur compounds. Perform a patch test before first use. Avoid during pregnancy. Avoid on sensitive or damaged skin. Do not ingest. Keep away from children. If skin irritation occurs, apply carrier oil immediately to dilute.
