An old fashioned cure for pneumonia.......Take 6-10 onions, according to size and chop fine. Put in a skillet over a hot fire. Then add about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar, enough to make a thick paste. In the meantime stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer 5-10 minutes. Then put it in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. When this gets cool apply another and thus continue by reheating the poultices and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed in this too often fatal malady. Usually four applications will do, but continue always until perspiration starts freely from the chest.
I have all kinds of old remedies used for sickness, insecticides and cleaners.....pays to be raised old fashioned and on a farm...lol
 
Im gonna put that in my herbal recipe collection! I think Ill try growing some onions just to see how that turns out. Ill probably ask you more home remedy questions in the future M.M. :)
 
Weird, I've always kept leftover onion in the fridge, then reused it, and never had any kind of an issue with it, even if using a couple days later. Interesting bit about the flu use though.
 
Well, plague travels by means of the fleas that travel with rats. Viuruses and bacteria are very different critters. so what works with one is most unlikely to work with the other. Onions and garlic are proven health foods, but relying on old wive's tales, when it comes to dangerous illnesses is very questionable tactics.
