Is the onion fever-reducing method true or false

The most common illnesses we suffer from in daily life are colds and fevers. Once we have a fever, various symptoms will appear in the body. Sometimes we cannot take antipyretics, such as during pregnancy or breastfeeding. So once we have a fever, we can use some folk remedies to reduce the temperature. In addition to physical cooling, I heard that onions can be used to reduce fever. Is this method true or false? Can it really reduce fever? Let’s take a look together.

Tools/Raw Materials

One onion

A pair of socks (breathable)

Low pillow

How to operate

1. Wash the onion, remove the skin, and then cut it into thin slices about one centimeter thick or into cubes.

2. Then spread the chopped onion pieces on the soles of your feet, making sure to spread them as evenly as possible so that the onion pieces can fully contact the skin on the soles of your feet.

3. Then put on the socks and sleep in them overnight. The symptoms of fever will be relieved. Then you can keep doing this every day.

4. The main principle of onion in reducing fever is that the physiologically active substances it contains can not only kill bacteria, but also help improve one's own immunity and relieve certain symptoms.

5. Finally, use a pillow to prop up your feet so that they are slightly higher, which will make them more comfortable. If you have a severe nasal congestion due to a cold, you can use extra onions to wipe the area around the Ren Zhong point under your nostrils. Of course, the smell will be very pungent, so use it with caution.

Precautions
