Brandi Glanville recently landed in the hospital after suffering yet another serious health setback.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 53, revealed on her podcast that she turned to an unorthodox method to try and cure a cold that she caught off her son Jake, 18.
While perusing TikTok, Glanville decided to stick a clove of garlic inside of her ear after seeing a video claiming that it can help to clear up your sinuses.
'It really went down further and I had to go to urgent care the next day and get it taken out,' she confessed on Brandi Glanville Unfiltered.
'I was just trying to clear my sinuses.
It’s online.
Don’t listen to people online or TikTok or Instagram or Twitter or Facebook,' she added.
Sticking a clove of garlic inside your nose is a viral home remedy that's said to help clear up the sinuses.
Glanville said that she originally put the clove in her nostril, but then had to move it to her ear after it started burning her skin.
'It was burning too much so I moved it to my ear.
It was like burning my skin because I’d just lasered it,' she said.
Doctors do not recommend putting garlic inside of your ears, nose, or anywhere else other than one's mouth.
Despite the setback, Glanville appears to be doing better these days after undergoing a 'life-saving' surgery to remove her ruptured breast implants.
Earlier this year, the mother-of-two went under the knife with Dr.
Ariel Ourian to replace her leaky, ruptured implants – which she'd had for around 18 years.
Glanville previously claimed that her face had been deformed by 'parasites' that she caught in Morocco in 2023 while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club 2.
The infection led to an extreme facial disfigurement, which Glanville spent around $200,000 trying to fix.
Last year she was informed that her ruptured breast implants had been blocking her lymph nodes, which was preventing her face from healing from the infection.
Speaking to TMZ about the ordeal, Glanville explained that she 'definitely had a parasite,' but that her implants were also 'completely ruptured' which had left her with silicone all over her lymph nodes.
She also spoke to In Touch Weekly, and said that a technician informed her that, 'whatever's going on in your face, it can't drain because your lymph nodes are clogged with silicone'.
Glanville added, 'It's something that I could die from if I hadn't figured it out.'
The reality star underwent the surgery in early February with Dr.
Ourian, who gave her new implants after removing the old ones.
Although Glanville already feels much better since the surgery, she still insists that a parasite is the main cause of her many health issues.
'I'm paying out of pocket to see specialists, infectious disease doctors, you know, rheumatologists, like every doctor you can think of, I saw,' she shared on the I Do Part 2 podcast.
'I went to 21 doctors and I'm telling you, $200,000 ... the people at my insurance … let's just say sucks.'
Glanville says that her ongoing health battle has destroyed her personal and professional life.
'I haven't had sex in three years.
The whole time I've been sick because I've lost my confidence,' she explained.
'And I felt like I lost everything at once in a weird way.
Like I lost my job, I lost my reputation, I lost my looks.'
Glanville was last seen on TV in season one of Peacock's The Traitors in 2023.
