Have your say! 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.   chilblain relief Comments By: maria on 2010-01-10 i still use my mother's treatment: soak in hot water with a dollop of mustard.   Have your say!
