Introduction
It might sound strange, but placing onions in your socks overnight is an old folk remedy with surprising potential benefits. Traditionally used to fight infections and support the body's natural detox process, this method is simple, natural, and affordable.
Why It Works
Absorption through Feet: Your feet have over 7,000 nerve endings and numerous sweat glands, making them ideal for drawing out impurities.
Detox Properties: Onions are rich in sulfur compounds, flavonoids, and antioxidants that help combat toxins and bacteria.
Faster Relief: When applied to the soles, onion compounds can be absorbed into the bloodstream, possibly offering quicker relief for minor ailments.
Ingredients
1 fresh onion (preferably purple/red onions due to higher antioxidant content)
1 pair of clean cotton socks
How to Use
Slice the Onion: Cut a fresh onion into thick rounds or in half.
Place on Feet: Place one slice or half of an onion directly on the sole of each foot (cut side touching the skin).
Cover with Socks: Pull on socks to keep the onion slices in place.
Leave Overnight: Sleep with them on for 6–8 hours.
Discard: In the morning, remove the onion and wash your feet thoroughly.
