Onion in Socks: After Reading This, You'll Wonder Why You Haven't Tried It Before

Dr. Lauren Feder, an American physician, shared an unusual tip on her blog: onions have great health benefits not only when eaten in various forms, but also when placed on the soles of the feet overnight.

In her article, Dr. Feder writes that one of the benefits of the onion is its ability to purify the blood and remove toxins from the body, eliminate bacteria and germs, and improve blood flow.

How is the onion related to purification? Quite simply, its phosphoric acid and antibacterial properties help to eliminate the body's 'enemies,' especially during sleep. "The onion absorbs the bacteria, which is why we recommend placing it near someone who is congested or coughing."

According to Dr. Feder, the meridians in the foot lead to important organs such as our nervous system. "If these organs are filled with bacteria or toxins, they cannot 'breathe' properly," she explains. "That's why I recommend placing the onion on the foot, especially during sleep, so that the active components can work without interference."

Another method to free these meridians is walking barefoot whenever possible, as shoes actually 'choke' and 'numb' them. One of the signs indicating a buildup of toxins and infections is dry skin on the soles, which this method of onion slices in socks can also heal.

So what do you need to do?

1. Cut an organic onion (recommended according to Dr. Feder) into slices, and place them along the foot.

2. Wear socks to cover the foot well, to keep the onion stable during sleep.

3. Leave the sock with the onion overnight, so that the active ingredients can 'renew' your skin.
