I've long heard about onions being an effective cold remedy. But honestly I never bothered much to look further into it. When I finally did, I discovered something many are perhaps already aware of: onions in the sock can be useful in healing your cold. This is indeed the technique that has many raving about: stuffing onions in your socks while you sleep to make you healthier.
Blogger Jennifer Thompson runs the health blog, Healthy Bliss , on which she explains the remedy:
"This is not a new idea. Onions were used by certain individuals in Europe to successfully fight off the plague in the early 1900's."
According to Jennifer, it's well worth giving the trick a chance, as there is nothing to lose.
Several of her readers reported trying the onion trick – with positive outcome.
Michael:

Jen:
“I have been placing cut onions in a bowl in my children's rooms for years. They rarely get sick. If they become unbalanced, they recover quickly...”
