4. Absorbs Odors

Much like baking soda in the fridge, onions can absorb unpleasant odors in the air. If your bedroom has lingering smells (from pets, cooking, or humidity), an onion may help freshen things up by morning.


🛌 How to Try This at Home

Ready to test it out? Here’s how to give it a try safely and easily:

✔️ What You’ll Need:

  • 1 medium or large yellow or white onion
  • A small dish or plate

🧅 Steps:

  1. Peel the onion and cut it in half or quarters to expose the inside.
  2. Place it cut side up in a bowl or dish.
  3. Set it on your nightstand or near your bed — but not too close if you’re sensitive to the smell.
  4. Discard in the morning (don’t reuse the same onion again).

🔁 For best results, try it for several nights and observe how you feel in the morning.


⚠️ A Few Notes of Caution

  • The smell may be strong at first — if you’re sensitive to odors, try placing it farther from your bed.
  • Do not eat the onion after using it overnight, as it may have absorbed impurities from the air.
  • This trick is not a substitute for medical treatment — always consult a healthcare provider for serious symptoms.
