A homemade remedy with onion.
Onions are nutrient-dense, meaning they’re low in calories but high in vitamins and minerals, including being natural antivirals and antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and expectorants.
Winter cough can be bothersome, so this is our homemade remedy. A no complex concoction, just a a simple immunity-boosting syrup with onion to help our body's defense mechanism against cold, cough, fever and flu. We usually add honey or drink as it is.
Instructions:
Rinse the onion.
Run the peeled onion under a lukewarm tap to remove any small specks of skin or dirt.
Dry it with a clean paper towel.
Extract the juice out of the 1 onion by grating it and transferring to a jar.
Add honey or some sugar but optional. We prefer without.
Allow to sit at room temperature for a few hours until you see the juice from the onion start to collect at the bottom of the jar.
I usually drink a teaspoon for a cold, but my mom when she has been exposed to dust tend to cough a lot and would drink a tablespoon and works wonders.
It is better to make it fresh daily or every two days and store in the refrigerator.
