A member asked:
Is it true that puting an onion on your night table when sleeping helps to cure a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: There is anecdotal evidence that people have felt better after doing this and the theory is that because the onion has very strong attraction for microorganisms & the onion traps them and provides relief to the sick person. However, no reputable scientific study to support this theory. May just feel better because immune system is effectively fighting illness.
