 Onions are rich in organosulfur compounds and quercetin. Sulfur is an extremely powerful antioxidant that helps in recycling other spent oxidants and aids in the creation of glutathione which is an important oxidant that prevents damage to important cellular components caused by free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides, and heavy metals. The quercetin in onions is an antioxidant flavonoid that is found in different varieties of fruits and veggies.

 However, it is present in considerably high amounts among allium vegetables. Several studies have showed that onions have the capacity to enhance the amount of antioxidants in your body, protect the poisoning of kidneys, make you less susceptible to breast cancer, reduce the risk of prostate cancer, and much more.

In layman’s terms, meridians are nothing but electrical pathways to each organ within our body. But why feet, you must be wondering. This is because there are 7000 nerve endings on the soles of your feet.

 There are more nerve endings per square centimeter on our feet than anywhere on the body! Fascinating, isn’t it? One of the best and easiest ways to open up meridians and help purify internal organs if by putting onion slices inside your socks along the soles of your feet overnight.
