But did you know that apart from enhancing the flavours, onions do a lot more to your health. This layered vegetable are a part of the allium family of vegetables and herbs, which also includes chives, garlic, scallions and leeks. Allium vegetables are well known for their characteristic, pungent flavours and medicinal properties. Onions can vary in size, shape, colour and flavour. The most common types of onions are red, yellow and white onions. Onions can be sweet and juicy, spicy and pungent, often depending on the season in which they are grown and consumed. They are low in calories and high in beneficial nutrients like vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They also contain small amounts of iron, potassium, calcium, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, and the antioxidants quercetin and sulfur.

All you need to do is cut some onion and soak it in drinking water for about six to eight hours. You can drink three to four tablespoon of this water thrice a day for better health.

Honey and onions really do work as a home remedy for coughs – try it for yourself!

Onion Juice and Honey: Why This Cough Remedy Really Works

Onion juice and honey represent two of many home remedies for coughs. Onion is a traditional household remedy for sore throats, earaches, and insect bites and has been used for centuries. It is said to have anti-inflammatory, germicidal, antibacterial and analgesic effects, which makes onion cough syrup so effective. Honey, too, can help relieve an irritated throat due to its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. You may also profit from the health benefits of ginger, garlic, sage and salt water to get rid of coughs.

Other plants you can use as effective natural remedies for cough are thyme and English plantain (a perennial plant with a rosette of basal leaves and flowering stalks – in the public’s eye: a weed). Thyme works to widen the bronchia, serves as an expectorant and an antibacterial. You can use thyme oil like you would mouthwash for throat pain when sick.

English plantain stimulates the immune system and also possesses a number of antibacterial properties. It also promotes the buildup of the mucus membrane. Place some thyme or English plantain leaves in your tea or boil them down into a homemade cough syrup.

Another ancient cold home remedy is garlic. It may sound like one of your grandma’s old tricks, but eating raw garlic will clear your sinuses more effectively than even wasabi.

Can an onion stop your child’s cough?

We do love testing parenting hacks, so when we heard a mum on our team announce that a sliced brown onion appeared to stop her child from coughing at night, we wanted to investigate.

She told us: “My 4-year-old daughter has had a cough and cold on and off since November 2017.

“A few days ago, literally all she did was cough. Having already tried vapour rub on her feet and breathing in steam, she just couldn’t stop.

“When I told a friend about my daughter’s coughing, she asked: ‘Have you done the onion in the bedroom?’

“I didn’t believe her, but she was adamant that it helped her daughter who couldn’t stop coughing. She explained you take a regular brown skinned onion, slice it in half and put it in the bedroom with your child – near but safely out of reach.

“We were desperate, and willing to try anything, so we sliced an onion and stuck it under our daughter’s bed, parallel to her head.

“Yes it did stink, and took a few days for the smell to go, and lots of airing the bedroom. But, that night, she had periods of hours between the coughing.

“She did still cough, but she also had large chunks of sleep in between, whereas the nights before the onion, she was coughing all night.

“Right now, the cough isn’t so bad, so no need for the onion. But if it happens again, I’ll grab an onion.”

We should say that another team member says she swears by boiling garlic in water and giving the garlic water to her nieces and nephews to drink (once it’s cooled) if they have coughs.

The expert doctor’s opinion

Family GP Dr Philippa Kaye tells us: “There can be some truth to the remedies of old wives’ tales or folklore, often passed down in families – but there is little scientific evidence backing up the use of either onions or garlic for coughing in babies.

“Both onions and garlic have been used around the world in medications for centuries, but unfortunately there isn’t evidence for a chopped onion in the room curing a cough, though it is unlikely to do any harm!

“There is some evidence about the health benefits of garlic for heart problems and other conditions but, again, not to treat a cough.

“And I am not sure I would be able to convince any of my children to drink garlic water!”

Honey & Onion Cough Syrup

What’s better than finding relief from that annoying wintertime cough?

Finding relief in a truly delicious, simple and inexpensive syrup, of course. A few years ago, Rosemary Gladstar, renowned herbalist, shared the recipe for her go-to cough remedy via the blog of one of my favorite herb purveyors, Mountain Rose Herbs. I watched her video recently one afternoon, and before the week was over, had made a few brilliant, sweet fall gifts.

I bottled the syrup in the very medicinal-looking 8 ounce amber glass bottles, then embellished the bottles with the Snowflakes Drift style in champagne, in the large oval label shape and the small circle label shapes. This label style reminds me of the dark, but somehow cozy, humor of Edward Gorey illustrations, available in the levity of four very approachable color schemes.

How to use onions to fight cough and cold

When coughs and colds occur, we need to find a natural remedy as soon as possible to deal with their bothersome symptoms. Surely all of you always have an onion at home, so here’s how to take advantage of its benefits for coughs, colds and flu.

The onion is a food indicated not only to flavor our favorite dishes, but it has also a series of medicinal properties. These make it a natural effective remedy very useful on several occasions.

The onion provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but above all it is known for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. This bulb therefore prevents the proliferation of microorganisms and at the same time it is able to stimulate the immune defense system. That’s why it can be a handy remedy even in case of coughs and colds.

Our grandmothers or great-grandmothers used and passed on various onion-based remedies in the family to treat flu symptoms and in many cases these are still effective today. Trying it is not so bad, you’ll just find your house invaded by the onion smell for a while!

Onion syrup

To prepare this syrup you will need 1 onion and some sugar. Peel the onion and then chop it finely, put it in a bowl or in a glass container and pour over 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar. Leave everything to rest for about 12 hours, after which filter the obtained liquid and put it in a glass jar. Take a teaspoon of syrup diluted in half a glass of water 3 times a day until the symptoms have completely disappeared. To enhance the effect you can also add a little honey.

Onion soup

Onion soup can be both a tasty dish and a way to relieve flu symptoms. It is a “poor” dish that in some cases involves using meat broth (you can very well replace it with vegetable broth). Here you will find many recipes, look for the simplest ones and avoid, since you want to use the soup for healing purposes, to add ingredients such as butter and cheese. You can also make your soup more active by adding garlic.

Honey and Onion Syrup to Cure Cough Naturally

Honey and Onion Syrup is very safe, effective and tasty cough cure that even your kids will love. While it soothes the irritated throat, it also thins the mucus out and makes it easier to cough stuff up. One of the best things about it is that it takes no time at all to make. And all you need is two very common ingredients – honey and onion. Too good to be true! I also recommend to use Elderberry Syrup in conjunction to this honey and onion syrup.

Health Benefits Of Raw Honey

• Honey is rich in minerals, enzymes, several B vitamins, prebiotics and antioxidants.
• It has strong antibacterial properties and served humans as food and as medicine for millennia.
• You can use it topically to treat minor burns and cuts and to heal wounds.
• Honey reduces irritation in the throat and on the skin.
• Most of honey’s medicinal properties come from small amounts of bee pollen and propolis. Propolis, for example, is the sticky resin that comes from trees. Bioflavonoids in propolis have powerful antibiotic, antifungal, and antibacterial qualities. While bees use it to protect their hives, we use it to protect our health.
• To maintain its medicinal qualities raw honey should never be heated above 118F.

Health Benefits Of Onion

Onions have volatile oils that contain sulfur compounds. While they give onion its acrid taste and smell they are also medicinal. They easily disperse throughout the body and can enter the interior of bacteria and fungal organisms and interfere with their machinery. They also stimulate white blood cell production – the ones that provide our body’s own defense and protection.

Alliin is another important compound in the onion and especially in garlic. When we slice the onion and expose it to air it gets activated and converted into allicin. Allicin is a strong antimicrobial – the quality that is important for us when dealing with respiratory infections.

Onion, Garlic And Ginger Homemade Cough Syrup

Coughs are the worst. Often hanging around long after the initial cold is gone, anything that causes you to lose sleep while straining all the muscles in your chest, back and neck is something you want to heal as quickly as possible.

In the spirit of the generations of mothers who want desperately to soothe their loved one’s railing breath, I pass this homemade cough syrup recipe on to you.

This natural cough reliever has probably been passed along from parent to parent, with minor variations, for thousands of years. It contains classic and proven ingredients for soothing and shortening colds and flus:

This DIY cough syrup is very easy to make, and lasts 6 months—which will get your family through cold and flu season without a hitch.

After half an hour, the sugar crystals will completely dissolve, and the onion slices are almost completely immersed in the syrup. This syrup is carefully scooped up and served to the patient. Adults can also use onion slices for medicinal purposes.

Allergen f48 – onion, IgE

Onions as an etiological factor of food allergy are attributed to a low degree of allergenic activity (without taking into account individual characteristics). Most often, there are such manifestations as diseases of the digestive system (allergic stomatitis, cheilitis, gastritis, colitis, gastroenteritis), skin (atopic dermatitis, urticaria, Quincke’s edema) and less often – of the respiratory system (allergic rhinitis, asthma).Cross-allergic reactions to birch pollen are common. Determination of specific immunoglobulin E to this allergen in an increased amount indicates an acute allergic reaction (immediate type hypersensitivity).

Synonyms Russian

Allergen-specific IgE to onions.

English synonyms

Onion IgE (f48).

Research method

Immunochemiluminescence analysis.

Units

IU / ml (international unit per milliliter).

Which biomaterial can be used for research?

Venous blood.

How to properly prepare for the study?

• Do not smoke for 30 minutes prior to examination.

General information about the study

Cases of hypersensitivity to onion allergens include allergic contact dermatitis, rhinoconjunctivitis, and bronchial asthma caused by onion processing.Food allergies are rare, despite widespread use.

Allergy symptoms such as rhinoconjunctivitis, shortness of breath and cough are common when raw onions are chopped. A number of studies have proven a specific respiratory IgE-mediated reaction with the development of an immediate type of allergy.

Cases of anaphylaxis are described after eating raw or lightly cooked onions, with the detection of specific IgE in the blood serum to the thermolabile fractions of onion protein.

Dialyldisulfide, the main allergen of onions and garlic, is one of the most common causes of allergic skin reactions. Allergic dermatitis and eczema, associated with sensitization to onion allergens, are found in housewives, cooks, and food industry workers. Allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, caused by an allergic reaction to onions, are found in workers involved in the production of spices and who have constant inhalation contact. In all cases, onion specific IgE was determined in the serum.

Cross-reactivity to garlic and leek allergens is common in individuals with hypersensitivity to onion allergens.

Onion also contains a lipid transporter protein (LTP), which can lead to cross-reactivity with plants containing a similar protein (peach, wormwood, peanuts, corn, rice, orange, celery, tomatoes).

What is this study used for?

• For the diagnosis of allergic diseases associated with onion sensitization.
• For screening for spice sensitization.

When is the study scheduled?

• In case of allergy symptoms (the appearance of urticarial and papular skin rashes, swelling of the mucous membranes, rhinitis, lacrimation, bronchospasm, an attack of bronchial asthma, etc.) that occur immediately or shortly after eating onions, getting onion juice on the skin or mucous membranes , accidental inhalation of dried onion particles or professional contact (processing, harvesting onions).

What do the results mean?

Reference values: 0.00 – 0.10 IU / ml.

Reasons for increased result:

• onion sensitization.

Reasons for a negative result:

• lack of sensitization to this allergen;
• long-term limitation or exclusion of contact with an allergen.

Important Notes

• This study is safe for the patient compared to skin tests (in vivo), as it excludes patient contact with the allergen.Taking antihistamines and age-related features do not affect the quality and accuracy of the study.

Also recommended

• Total immunoglobulins E (IgE) in serum
• Fadiatop (ImmunoCAP)
• Fadiatop for children (ImmunoCAP)
• Eczema
• Allergen f85 – celery, IgE
• Allergen f47 – garlic, IgE
• Allergen f86 – parsley, IgE

+ determination of specific immunoglobulins of class E to other allergens

Who orders the study?

Allergist, gastroenterologist, dermatologist, pediatrician, therapist, general practitioner.
