It's officially winter, and that means cold and flu season is here.

Having a cold is miserable. People have been coming up with their own home remedies for centuries, but nothing really seems to work.

Why put an onion in your sock? Because according to reflexologists, there are over 7,000 nerve endings on the soles of your feet.

The idea is that the healing properties of the onions are absorbed through the nerve endings, and are transferred throughout the body to help heal aches and pains.

Well, now there's a way to treat your cold, and apparently it works. By putting an onion in your sock before bedtime, you can treat the pains and aches associated with a cold.

Onions are widely considered to be one of the healthiest foods you can find. They have a lot of antioxidant properties, can kill bacteria, and have been shown to significantly reduce your risk for cancer.

The technique isn't exactly new. In fact, it's been around for five hundred years.

The practice has historically been used in Eastern medicine.

So if you're feeling a bit under the weather, slice up a red or white onion, place the slices on the bottom of your feet, and slip on a comfortable pair of socks.

Can't hurt, can it? Maybe you'll be feeling cured by morning!
