In our family we slice the onion, put it on the foot and then put a sock on over the onion and foot. Takes the fever down even in infants. Definitely have seen this work.<<<
Interesting, that such a simple thing works so well, one would be absorbing the juices/chemical through the skin.<<<
LOL, or is it mind over matter, as in “Get down fever and make it quick, for I don’t want to wear a new onion tomorrow”.<<<<
I don’t know anything official about the science of this but I do know there are some sulphur compounds in onions. And we have a lot of drugs that are sulphur based. So, I’ve always wondered if that onion is God’s sulphur medicine. I just know I’ve seen it work on a child’s fever a few times. Odd but true.

I would think that you are right, as when my daughter was about a week old, my grandmother cooked a onion until it was part of the water, added a couple drops of whiskey and gave it to her for an upset stomach and it worked.
