2. Your lungs recover.

This one goes double for people who smoked at any time in their lives. If you've recently quit smoking, your body is working double, if not triple time to get all that tar and gunk out of your systems.

Helping your body drain toxins through your meridians helps recover your lungs. This works for people who live in big, smoggy cities too.

3. Your gut becomes healthier.

Your digestive system, particularly your intestines, work hard processing all the junk we put into our bodies. Because we eat such poorly balanced diets, our intestinal flora is off and our intestines are loaded with toxins.

This leads to a reduced immune system and an increased likeliness of becoming ill. Fortunately, meridians lead from your GI tract to your feet, allowing the onion to help draw out those toxins.
