Putting onion slices into socks while sleeping has six functions:
1. Promote health
Diallyl disulfide, a spicy ingredient in onion, and sulfur-containing compounds such as allicin, an aromatic ingredient, can help the body, especially the liver, excrete toxins. It has anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, can prevent colds, and is very helpful for maintaining good health.
allay tiredness
Sulfide in onion can make blood circulation smooth, accelerate the metabolism of old waste and eliminate fatigue substances.
Smooth blood vessels
Onions contain phosphate, which can unblock blood vessels and lower blood sugar and cholesterol.
Remove foot odor
The cause of foot odor comes from bacteria. Sulfur compounds in onions are well-known natural antibacterial agents, which can kill bacteria that cause foot odor.
5. Purify indoor air
Onions can adsorb microorganisms, and when you get up in the morning, you will find that the smell in the room has all disappeared. In British folk remedies, there is a saying that onions will not get sick in the bedroom and kitchen.
Help sleep
Onions can relieve brain tension. Diallyl disulfide in onion has the function of calming autonomic and cranial nerves, which helps to relieve stress and stabilize the mind. Japan has also done a simple experiment. During the lunch break in kindergarten, the children were divided into two groups, each with 8 people. Only one side is sliced with onions, and the other side is not. As a result, the children who ate onions fell asleep quickly, which surprised the kindergarten teacher.
