To keep the onion on the foot, it is placed inside a sock. Why place onions on the soles overnight? The discoverers of this method were healers from China. In Chinese medicine, it is believed that at least 7,000 meridians — subtle energy flows — pass through the soles of the feet. Each is connected to a specific organ or area on the skin or within the body. Ideally, energy should flow freely through these points, preventing blockages and illnesses in the body. In modern people, energy does not flow freely through the soles due to constant shoe-wearing and insufficient foot care (calluses, corns, etc.). The Chinese believe that regular stimulation of active points — the pathways of meridians — helps release stagnant energy and simultaneously cleanse the body of harmful substances and remove negativity from the energy field. When is onion applied to the soles? Onion juice, released from the vegetable, immediately penetrates the skin and enters the bloodstream, destroying harmful microorganisms on the skin and cleansing the body internally from toxins. The result of this cleansing is improved skin appearance and normalization of liver function, as this organ processes all harmful substances accumulated in the blood. The volatile compounds of onions spread throughout the room, disinfecting the air. It is said that colds disappear within two days after using this method. — or treating runny noses, — in cases of nasal congestion and cough, — to reduce fever, — in respiratory viral diseases, — for gynecological problems, — to cleanse the blood of toxins and waste, — to eliminate excessive foot sweating (deodorizing effect), — in cases of fungal infections of the feet and toenails.
