Putting an onion in your sock cures all ills? :)

There are lots of sites saying that you will be cured of all ills by sleeping with an onion in your sock at night so your foot is in contact with the cut onion. I was wondering if anyone had ever tried this and whether they felt really good in the morning or whether they just kicked up a stink when they woke in a rank room

Re: Putting an onion in your sock cures all ills? :)

Sounds weird but I can guess that the sock keeps the cut side of the onion pressing onto the sole of your foot.

Maybe onion is like garlic and has anti viral and anti bacterial properties?

I know from my college days that if you rub stuff into the soles of your feet it gets into your blood stream quicker.

Some folk swear that they get rid of a cold/cough by rubbing Vick on the soles of their feet.
Hell, if it works, do it!!

Is this the same reason as why Roman soldiers were supposed to have marched with some garlic in their sandals?

I believe this is why all the vampires fled North and Hadrian's Wall was built.

Is that a cue for a toilet break so you can nip off potholing in dark places Mr Contortionism.

Why not take some of your own advice and mind your own business?

As you've not replied to this thread's topic maybe you should take your own advice Mr Irony.


Now, back to onions in your sock......I can see it being a cure for an overactive sex drive....it'd make the man limp.



I'm not a believer in these "old wive's tales"

Now please excuse me whilst I eat my apple.

Think you're getting confused now. I've never told you to mind your own business. I just reply to your posts in the same hilariously sour grumpy manner you post yours.

A potato down the front in your undies means more luck with the ladies.
Just make sure it's the front, not the back.
