Cut in half a yellow onion and put it in your bedroom so when you cough or sneeze the germs will go in the onion, throw away the onion when it dry up and replace with a new onion until cold is gone.

by: Anonymous

HI there,
Something to add to this natural remedy. Rosemary.
Rosemary Essential oil is the best to make a rub to put on the chest and sinus areas on the face. Add 2 drops to a small amount of olive oil and rub on the areas. Include the back as well where your lungs are. Rosemary is a natural anti-infection, anti-viral oil. It can be used in many ways to treat colds, flu, and infections. This oil should be one of your go to essential oils.
Good luck.

by: Patricia

Hello Geraldine,

Wow, now that's a really old remedy to get rid of colds & flu. I remember reading a long time ago about different epidemics of the flu and mothers and grandmothers would put a raw onion on the bed stand and the onion would actually turn black. We just never know, sometimes those old fashioned remedies are so much better than what we buy over-the-counter drugs.

I also read that we should never eat those raw onions that we get for toppings on hot dogs or hamburgers at the snack shops, like baseball and football games or even our famous salad buffets because while they sit there they are collecting germs from so many people passing them by. Makes sense to me!
