Onion skins

Happy Easter everone. I have trying a theory about about using onions skin to reduce  inflammation.

 It suggested that if you put the skins in water over night and drink as tea or as an ointment the following day

I  decided to give it try. I tried both methods and was really surprised that it actually worked for me.

Just thought I would share as it might be useful to others as well as myself.

Nettle tea and Ginger tea are also be good for inflammation

Are the onions very smelly I know if I have onions I can smell it on my skin next day

have you tried turmeric added to warm milk?

Is there a certain way, like did you soak in cold tap/filtered water, or was it in boiling water that then cooled?  My inflammation is willing to try anything that doesn't make me shake rattle and roll like the meds do.

To this day I put an onion cut up in my bedroom if I have a virus or any type of bacterial infections, it's also great for taking the smell of fresh paint away.
