Crushing onions, adding honey, and applying the mixture to dog bites can reduce the risk of infection and rabies.

Good for digestion

Onions aid digestion and support the function of the liver and spleen, preventing bloating and stomach-related ailments.

Treating jaundice

You can make a homemade jaundice remedy by halving onions and placing them in a jar, then soaking them in vinegar or lemon juice. After some time, when the onions have softened and absorbed the liquid, eat them daily. You can add salt to taste. Eating this for at least a week will help improve jaundice.
