Cough
If you have problems with a cough just peel a larger onion and slice it in a half. Cover the halves with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and let it stay in a bowl for about an hour. Do this twice a day and see the results.
Fever
You will only need to slice the onion thinly and rub your feet with coconut oil. Put just a slice of onion onto each of your soles and wrap them with a plastic wrap. Leave this remedy to work the whole night in order to extract the toxins and diseases from your body.
Vomiting
Here’s how onions can stop vomiting: grate a yellow onion and squeeze its juice through a cheesecloth first, then brew a cup of peppermint tea and let it cool down. Drink 2 teaspoons of onion juice, then wait 5 minutes before drinking the same amount of the peppermint tea. Wait for 5 minutes again and repeat the treatment until the symptoms go away. The vomiting should stop after the first dose and nausea should soon be gone.
