Viral Onion and Alcohol Hack Claims to Relieve Pain and Inflammation

Viral Home Remedy: Onion and Alcohol Concoction for Pain Relief A recent viral video by content creator Latin Kitchen demonstrates an unconventional home remedy for pain and inflammation, claiming it was shared by a "Chinese Doctor." The video, which has garnered significant attention, outlines a method involving red onions and 70% isopropyl alcohol. According to the video, one should slice a red onion, place the pieces into a glass jar, and cover them with 70% isopropyl alcohol. After sealing the jar, the mixture is to be stored in a cool, dark place for seven days. The resulting dark liquid, rich in what the creator describes as "antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatory compounds" like quercetin and flavonoids, is then applied to affected areas using a cotton pad. The video suggests applying the mixture at night to areas experiencing discomfort, such as knees, ankles, wrists, or the spine, to alleviate symptoms of arthritis, joint stiffness, and muscle aches. While the video promotes this as a "life-changing tip" and a "quiet miracle," viewers are encouraged to consult medical professionals for chronic pain or before trying unverified home remedies.
