My two kids and myself have been sick this week. I tried

the onion

remedy (where you chop it up, put it in a bowl, and pour

boiling water

over it, then sleep next to it) and it really works. I felt

congested,

feverish and had a funny feeling in my throat yesterday, but

woke up

fine this morning after just one night of the onion remedy.

My son had

a fever for 2 days, so I did the onion remedy for 2 nights

in a row with

him. I just checked his temperature for the second time

this morning,

and it's now normal. And he developed no respiratory

symptoms at all.

With kids so resistant to taking meds, this was wonderfully

easy to do.

My son never even realized he was sleeping next to an onion

for two

nights, lol! My daughter is also over her

fever/congestion, though she

may have been at the tail-end of hers (she'd been sick for 2

weeks

already before I saw the post about using onions). Happy day!

I thought I'd share another remedy I've used ever since my

daughter's

pregnancy 4 years ago. Aviva Romm is a midwife, herbalist

and MD who's

written several herbal books. For a decongestant, simply

mince one

clove of garlic, put it on a spoon, drip honey on it, then

swallow it

without chewing with liquid. Mincing takes the place of

chewing, so

that you don't reek like garlic. One clove keeps my nose

clear for a

good 5-6 hours, or overnight. The only side effect I've

encountered

with it, after doing it many winters and many colds later,

is that the

garlic hurts my stomach now if I take it on an empty

stomach. Now I

just make sure I eat a little bread or something, and no

problems. I'm

told garlic is a blood-thinner, so folks on blood-thinning

meds will

want to be mindful of that before trying (though honestly, I

don't know

if one clove is enough to cause problems or not.)

Anyway, thanks again for sharing that onion remedy! I don't

think I'd

ever get garlic into my kids, but I can do the onion one

with them, no

problem!
