Onion and garlic

During the long and cold winter the common cold can be a frequent and unwelcome guest that just won’t leave. A good way to get rid of it is to place a slice of onion on a plate and leave it overnight on your nightstand.
Garlic is commonly used as a healing herb. Ear infections can often be cured simply by placing garlic into gauze and pressing it against the ears. Another handy hint: Garlic is also believed to possess the power to keep vampires at bay.
