TikTok health hack sees people shoving garlic up their nose in 2023

Experts at health and wellbeing app, Evergreen Life, discovered a bizarre trend on TikTok: pushing garlic up your nose. The “garlic nose hack” involves people peeling cloves of garlic and shoving them up each nostril for 15 to 30 minutes to unclog their sinuses. Although garlic has well-known activity against bacteria and viruses, putting garlic up your nostrils could damage your nose and sinuses; the garlic chemicals can cause irritation, and bits of garlic could get stuck up your nose.”
