This great onion poultice can help with health problems thanks to several components it contains. A great gift of the onion are, for example, sulfur compounds that can help the body fight inflammation.
How does this recipe work?
The onion contains beneficial substances that pass through the soles into the human body. On the sole we find up to 7OOO different nerve endings.
Each individual point is connected to a certain part of the human body that it influences. These include connections to organs, the brain, or even the heart.
Thanks to this, the components contained in the onion can reach the right place in the human body and act there with their beneficial substances.
Application
The first option is to place onion slices on the feet and put socks over the onion so that the onion stays on the sole.
You can apply the socks full of onion, for example, overnight.
Another option is to secure the onion slices on the feet using cling film. With that you press the onion to the foot and it won’t move.
Let the onion work calmly overnight or during an evening in front of the TV.
However, it is recommended to use socks at night.
Effects
Both methods of application affect our body in the same way.
During the application the onion will begin to release its substances into our body and there it will start to destroy bacteria, viruses and other pathogens.
At the same time the onion supports the detoxification of the body and suppresses possible colds and a runny nose.
Conclusion
People who have tried this ancient remedy agree that onion poultices truly helped their health condition.
Poultices can also be applied to small children; however, here it is enough to leave the poultice on for only a short while, not overnight, so that the onion does not irritate the delicate and sensitive children’s skin.
