Onions boiled in milk. For colds.
Grandma Anderson swore by it. Kinda faded from the family pharmacopeia after she passed.
When I feel a cold coming on or a scratchy throat, I take large doses of vit. C for 2 days. Haven’t had a cold or flu for years...
My mom always gave me onion juice with a little bit of honey when I had a cold. Hated it. It worked so well that just the thought of that remedy kept me from catching colds.
