Onions—often overlooked as just another kitchen staple—are, in fact, a powerhouse of nutrition and natural medicine. With their rich layers of flavor and healing compounds, onions have been celebrated for centuries in various cultures. From boosting immunity to supporting heart health, this humble bulb deserves a more prominent place in your wellness routine. Let’s explore how to unlock the full potential of onions with a simple, health-packed preparation.
Ingredients:
To create a basic healing onion tonic or dish, you’ll need:
2 large yellow or red onions (organic preferred)
1 tablespoon raw honey (optional, for sweetness and additional health benefits)
2 cups filtered water
1 teaspoon turmeric (for anti-inflammatory support)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Juice of half a lemon (rich in vitamin C)
Pinch of sea salt (to balance electrolytes)
Directions:
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
In a small saucepan, combine onions and water. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add turmeric, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir well.
Simmer for 20–25 minutes until the onions are soft and the water is infused.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Stir in lemon juice and raw honey (if using) once the mixture is warm, not hot.
Strain the liquid if preferred, or consume it with the softened onions.
Serving and Storage Tips:
