I've heard some people use garlic extract to boost their betta's immune system during treatment. Anyone tried that? Not sure if it's just a myth or actually helps.
Garlic can help with appetite if your betta's not eating, but it won't cure ich. Focus on the temp and salt first.

Make sure you're not overfeeding during treatment. Excess food can mess with water quality. Stick to small portions until the ich clears up.

I'm new to this, but my betta had ich last month. Raised the temp and added salt, and he bounced back in a week. Just gotta be patient and keep the water clean.

Consistency is everything. Stick to the plan, and don't panic if it takes a few days to see improvement. Ich has a life cycle, so it won't disappear overnight.
