the onion & salt treatment seems to work Comments By: gwyneth on 2009-01-14

A friend told me about the onion and salt treatment for chilblains but I only tried it once when the chilblain had just turned red and was very painful. I did not get round to repeating it but it certainly took the sting away from the chilblain although it is still there some weeks later but hardly painful at all.
