There is no doubt that onions have great nutritional value when consumed. The good thing about onions is that they provide minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins LESS the calories. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/276714.php I haven't read any scientific study that proves onions can absorb toxins from the body, without eating them. But according to this article ( http://healthybliss.net/healing-power-of-onions-can-onions-absorb-bacteria-viruses-and-flu/ ), when peeled and left in a room with a sick person, it could absorb bacteria or toxins away from the person. This may still be a theory to be proven, but, hey, we can give it a try and find out for ourselves.

While I've also heard a lot of people believe that onions help in hastening recovery from illnesses, I have never really heard of a science-backed research that would swear by this practice. This has been a practice for more than a century now, particularly by the Indians, as an ayurvedic medication since it's believed that onions suck germs that cause illnesses. However, this isn't true according to urbanlegends.about.com. You can read more about it through this link: http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/medical/a/Raw-Onions-On-Feet-To-Cure-Illness.htm
