Today, it's no longer a secret that onions are the ultimate remedy against coughs, viruses, and infections. Many parents place pieces of onion at the head of a child's bed or put them in their socks overnight in the case of high fever.

What are the other uses of onions?
Strengthening Hair Roots
Mix grated onion with honey in a 4:1 ratio, and massage the mixture onto the scalp. Wait about an hour and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Hemorrhoids
Boil five onions with two liters of milk in a large pot. When the mixture boils, reduce the heat and cook for two hours.
Constipation and Stomach Acidity
Drinking a teaspoon of onion juice (grated onion with a little water left in a container for several days) about fifteen minutes before a meal is an excellent remedy for those suffering from gallstones, hemorrhoids, constipation, and stomach acidity.
Healing Warts
Onions boiled in a cup of vinegar juice are a great remedy for healing warts (apply to the area at least twice a day).
Healing Bee Stings
Rubbing an onion on the area of a bee sting is an excellent remedy to ease pain (although it burns a little at first) and also helps prevent infection from developing at the sting site.
Relief for Toothaches
Grate a medium onion and wrap the mixture in gauze. Place the gauze on the cheek opposite the painful area (if the painful tooth is on the left, place the gauze on the right side and vice versa). You can also dip a toothbrush into grated onion and use it to scrub the painful area.
Relief for Bladder Infections
Grate a medium onion with a tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of white wine. Leave in the refrigerator for three days, and take one tablespoon, three times a day.
