Big onions as detoxification

[AzizMarican]

I read somewhere that sliced big onions paste to the bottom of the feet acts as detoxification.

I read that half a peeled onion in a room captures germs and infections and that Vick slathered on soles of feet with socks on does the same. Never heard the same for detox and

onions - Google it?

I saw this on Facebook, which always makes me suspicious. I'm kind of doubtful about applying any vegetable topically, they'll be telling us to strap carrots to our ears next... My only advice would be - don't make a stew out of it afterwards

Well, it's a known fact that we can absorb chemicals/medication through our skin. so there's no reason why this wouldn't work. Why not give it a go and then report back to us.

Many years ago my husband had a bad back and someone suggested that strapping cabbage leaves over the painful area could help. In desperation and feeling foolish he tried it and it worked!

I check out any claims like that on hoax-slayer.com or snopes.com so I double checked this claim and its rubbish!

Gosh, I didn't even think of Snopes, partly because it just seems like hooey! But more to the point, healthy eating and healthy living aren't so complicated. Mostly whole foods, eaten moderately, and who'll need to worry about such things as onion-foot detoxification?

I have heard it works and have tried the Vicks on feet... But I know now more than any thing that a pH alkaline based diet and Essential oils work for just about anything. Hubby and I did the easiest 21 day cleanse and it improved his Bp drastically! My back surgery (fusion) just 24 days ago went amazing and I'm healing awesome just using whole food nutrition, hydration, supplementation, and my Essential oils! No Pain meds!
