                                In many cultures, using a warm onion poultice on a boil has been a traditional home remedy, passed down through generations. This folk practice is based on the idea that the onion's heat and natural compounds can 'draw out' the pus and infection. However, the efficacy and safety of this method are widely debated and not backed by clinical evidence.
