Whether or not you like the pungent veggie, we all know that onions are viewed mostly as food. Did you know you could also use an onion to clean your grill? That, however, is not the strangest thing you can do with onions… We recently heard rumblings that onions can actually heal you by putting them in your socks and sleeping with them by your feet at night. Apparently it can help alleviate cold, flu, and fever-like symptoms. In fact, a few people who have heard about sleeping with onions in their socks have given it a whirl. “You have nothing to lose by giving the onion theory a try,” said Jennifer Thompson, a blogger that decided to peel back the theory and get to the heart of it. She shared the idea with her readers and a few of them gave it a try and — well, you will be absolutely amazed! We’ve heard that this could work, but what do you think? Is it something you’d try, or do you think it’s crazy? This is what Jennifer tweeted to her readers after writing about the healing power of onions: She then received an outpour of responses from her followers who also tried the sock onion trick.
