Onions are cooling topically but heating internally. They are a strong laxative when raw, and a mild laxative when cooked. Raw onions are a strong diaphoretic, meaning they flush the pores of the skin and induce sweating. The laxative and diaphoretic qualities of raw onion are particularly useful for a late spring cleanse whenever the feet or hands feel swollen.
