Mom shows what happens when she places a potato slice on her sick child's foot
You will be shocked to see the results!
There's nothing quite like feeling helpless when your child is not feeling well.
And we're certain that every parent wants to find a solution, a remedy to make their children feel better.
Trying out any and every method they have heard of to heal their child is not an uncommon thing.
Because no one wants to see your child or someone you love suffer.
This is why when we saw this mom trying out something she saw on TikTok, it took us by surprise.
A mom who saw other parents placing a thin slice of potato under the feet to cure them of any ailments tried it out with her child.
She tried it on herself, and she is healthy, and she found that the potato changed colour slightly.

Then she did the same thing on her child's foot. Her child was not well and had a cold.
The potato slice came out looking completely black...
Which took her by complete surprise.

As you must've heard, she said she researched it online and found that this doesn't do anything.
She also noticed that her child's cough did not leave, but also did not get worse.
The fact that the potato slice went black for her child and not her does mean something... or does it?
A fellow TikToker, who is a nutritionist, shared why the potato turns black. WATCH below, courtesy of TikTok.
