Bought to use with neti pot BUT read on
When quarantine first started, I began researching what I could do to stay healthy. I occasionally use a neti pot for allergies, and I came across a blog where a user used baby shampoo, neti salt packet, and this product in a neti pot and it knocked out his recurring sinus infections for good. So I decided to try that to see if it helped with allergies. I added a capsule to warm water, added 2 neti pot salt packets (salt and baking soda), and J&J baby shampoo and did nasal irrigation on each nostril. These capsules did not completely dissolve, so there were particulates visible in the water.  It slightly burned when using  but the worst of it was that I smelled garlic for probably A WEEK! I guess that's good if the premise works but since I didn't have an infection, just allergies, it wasn't alleviating anything but definitely was not enjoyable. Eventually it wore off, I kept using the neti with just the baby shampoo and salt.<br />In the past year, there have been various studies and several more ongoing trials, to test out baby shampoo and covid. Studies show that baby shampoo knocks out 99% of the covid germ in 2 minutes of neti pot use. So I feel comfortable with using that in my neti but I won't be using the garlic pill in the neti unless I lose sense of smell. Also, I told my Allergist dr that I did the garlic neti, she had never heard of anyone doing that but that doesn't mean a lot since she isn't a natural healing type doctor so I don't think she spends time on alternative remedies.<br />All that being said, I have continued to take these pills when I have a cold. I don't think they can hurt taking them orally and maybe they help. They taste strongly of garlic but I haven't noticed any garlic burps after taking. The price is not cheap but if I only take them when I'm sick, that's affordable.<br />I think the neti garlic is only for those with serious sinus infections, unless you start with only using maybe 1/8th of a capsule and work your way up.
