Onions also possess the ability to kill a wide variety of germs.

Onions are supposed to be a sort of antibiotic. Slice an onion and saute it until caramelized and eat.

Anyone remember that movie from like the early '70s titled something like "Lilies of the Valley"? I tried a search but couldn't find it. About all I remember was the man got sick and the little girl put boiled onions on his chest. I don't know how onions on the outside of you would do any good, but whatever.

Yes, onions have many uses on the outside of the body, the old ways used them as a poultice for cuts and boils and to draw fever out ...

I haven’t seen the movie, but I plan to get a copy of the book at the public library and read it. I learned about it earlier on this thread, and it is called, WHERE THE LILLIES BLOOM.

Here’s a cut & paste of post no. 3523:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

IN the 1970s I read the book

“Where the Lillies Bloom.” I think it was a true story, about kids surviving near the Great Smoky Mountains (today a national park) after their parents had died.

They used onion baths to cure flues.
