I've got to tell you, one of the things I do for fun is just scroll thru TikTok looking and laughing at every asinine thing you can imagine when it comes to health improvement.  99% of the time, you look at the video and say, "No one in their right mind would do this, because there is 0% chance it works."  That's the way I felt when I came across this.  Apparently, garlic does more than give Italian food that special zing and ward off vampires.   And now, I hate to admit it, but the next time my sinus are clogged, I'm all in.

Seriously, when you're sinuses are clogged from a cold or allergies, you know there is nothing you wouldn't do to get instant relief.  Two things tho:  1.  Stay away from cameras (I don't care if it works, I don't want to be seen with cloves of garlic in my nose) and 2.  I probably wouldn't recommend cooking with this afterward.
