Herbtime Opinion: I've tried this for a bladder infection. I was on day one when I started feeling a reaction in my sinuses and head. I have always had sinus problems and it seems like the garlic was working it's magic on this area first. I was on day three when the headaches subsided which was most likely a result of detoxing and healing. I woke up on day three actually breathing through both nostrils! I did not have fresh ginger at the time, but will try it next time. The lemon takes the edge off the garlic taste and it is much better drinking it warm versus cold.
