Health Hack: Try this unusual home remedy to ease a cold or ‘flu

We're all well aware of the cancer fighting, mood boosting, heart healthy benefits of eating onions. But did you know there's another (rather odd) way to use the humble allium? An ancient home remedy recommends placing slices of onion in your socks to fight a cold or 'flu. Believers claim that placing onions in your socks overnight helps to purify the blood and kill germs and bacteria, thus making you feel better come morning. The thinking centres around the nerve endings in the feet, which many believe are connected to other parts of the body, as illustrated here... We're not sure if we believe this one but if you're suffering from the Spring cold that's currently doing the rounds, anything's worth a shot in our book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RxABxSW8rQ
