FAQ
Q: What does placing onions on the feet actually do?
A: The sulfur compounds in onions are thought to have antibacterial and detoxifying properties. Placing them on the feet allows these compounds to enter the bloodstream through the skin, potentially helping with colds, fevers, and toxin removal.
Q: Can this really replace medicine?
A: While this is a popular natural remedy, it’s not a substitute for professional medical treatment when needed. However, many people use it as a complementary approach to support their wellness routines.
Q: How often should I use this remedy?
A: For general wellness, once or twice a week is enough. During times of illness or fatigue, some use it for 2–3 consecutive nights.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: The main concern is skin irritation. If you have sensitive skin, try a small test area first, and discontinue use if redness or discomfort occurs.
