Description
A folk remedy where raw onion slices are placed on the soles of the feet to relieve head and chest colds.
Benefits
- The sulfur compounds in onions may stimulate respiratory organs and thin mucus.
- The largest pores on the soles allow compounds to be absorbed; some people find it stops coughing quickly.
Preparation & Use
Finely chop or slice a fresh organic onion and place it inside a plastic bag. Put the foot on the onion, twist the bag around to secure it, then put on a sock to hold the onions in place. Leave the wrap on overnight and discard it in the morning.
