It's that time of year; temperatures are getting colder and illnesses will soon be on the rise. It's almost unavoidable during the wintertime.

If you're looking for a quick cure for all that ails you, here's a peculiar yet effective method of dealing with your symptoms - sleep with an onion in your socks.

It's actually a practice that's common in Eastern medicine and dates all the way back to the early 16th century.

According to Reflexologists, there are over 7,000 nerve endings in the bottom of your foot, all linked to different parts of your body. And the onion helps the body release toxins.

All you need to do is put an onion in your sock before you go to sleep. It sounds weird, but those who swear by it say it's an effective way of combating flu and cold symptoms.

So the next time you're starting to feel under the weather, why not give it a shot - it can't hurt! You may wanna check with your significant other first though!!!
