Natural Remedies for Cough Relief

You see, the biggest pores in the whole of your

body are on the soles of your feet.

So what you do is you get a plastic bag thus, and you

put the onion in the plastic bag.

And then the foot is put

on the... Say this is the foot. You put it on the onion in the plastic

bag,

and then twist this bag around and around and

secure it, and then put a sock on. And the sock will hold it

nice and, nice and firm.

You want the onion on the bottom of the feet, 'cause the biggest pores in

your body are on the bottom of your feet.

And the body will take the onion where it needs to go, and often

it'll take it if you need it in the chest or to clear the head.

I was with my daughter and her little three-year-old.

We'd put him to bed.

He had a cold, and he coughed and he coughed.

And you think any moment he'll fall asleep.

But an half an hour later, he was still coughing,

and I said to my daughter, "Emma,

just get him up and we'll do the onion." We put the onion on the bottom of his

feet,

put the sock on, put him back to bed.

Not one more cough. It's almost unbelievable

what it does. And a friend of mine, she was, she was

camping, uh, in the bush, you know, near the beach.

And the lady in the tent next door coughed all night.

She said they, it kept waking them.

So the next day in the afternoon, she befriended the lady and she said,

"I notice you have a cough." And the lady said, "Oh, I'm so sorry

if I've kept

you awake." And my friend said, "I've got a little tip that may help you.

Now, when you're camping, you've nearly always got an onion,

and you've just about

always got plastic bags." And so she did it to the lady who

was willing to do anything.

No coughing all night long.

Mm-hmm.

It's such a simple treatment and yet quite, uh,

effective. The, the bottom of the feet do

not get tender. Uh, it doesn't

irritate.

Um,

obviously once you take it off in the morning, you would throw it away.

But that's a very simple treatment that can be done for someone with,

with, with respiratory or a cough
