Onion Poultice
Ingredients
- 1 Medium/Large Onion, Chopped yellow, white or purple onions work best.
- 1 Tea Towel
Instructions
- chop onions and saute lightly in water for 5-10 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.
- Pour cooked onions and juice into the tea towel and fold the edges inward.
- The folded towel now makes a poultice and can be placed on chest, back, head or side of head where there is a need to break up mucous or congestion.
- Make sure that the poultice is hot but not too hot to cause a burn, especially on children and babies.
- Place where needed and allow it to remain in place for at least 10-20 minutes. When it cools, rewarm it in a pan of water over low heat. Reuse the poultice for 1 day, and make fresh each day.
Fantastic. I used this onion poultice on my sinuses. Worked very well and quickly.
