raw onions

[Taili2010]

Not really pregnancy related. But I'm curious If anyone has used raw onions to fight off sickness? I have read several times That people use onions in The bedroom Or any room in The house to absorb bacterias etc and have Also put sliced onions in there socks When sick to get rid of The sickness. I really want to try It cause I've been sick For almost a week with a really nasty cold and I've taken The meds That I'm allowed to take while pregnant and Also been using a neti pot to help with my nasal congestion But Nothing seems to be working. I Just Don't want to try this onion thing If It Is a waste of clean socks, time, and an onion lol. I'll probably still end up trying It when I go to bed tonight But Just curious of any possible success stories with this... Or If anyone has success stories of another way to get rid of a nasty cold I'd love to hear them! Thanks in advance

Thank You!! I tried The onions last night, i dont feel as terrible as i did but do still feel sick. I was hoping it would work like magic and i would just be better lol. But im definitely going to do it again tonight and see what results i get this time. Also i will try that with the boiling water and using a blanket or maybe ill sit in the bathroom with the shower on all the way hot and inhale the steam if it doesnt make me to nauseous. Ill have my boyfriend bring me home some fresh lemons when he comes from work to. Somethings gotta give! I am 36 weeks pregnant and being sick ***** right now!

Im doing the onion inside song thing everytime by daughter gets sick. It makes her temp go down when she has fever. I also put vinegar in water and use it when i sponge bathe her. Smells stinky but it works wonder. I make a my own version of humidifier because we dont have one but i don't use it to my daughter. I boil water in a pot then put 3tbsp of salt then stuck my self inside the blanket then inhale exhale. It helps me when i have cold but dont do it if i have fever as it may just cause the fever to rise up. Drink alot of water also. You may add lemon too(:

Humidifier works well for nasal congestion I was sick a while ago and it helped me out a lot without meds( I hate cold medicine)
