Introduction:
Many people struggle with persistent coughing and respiratory discomfort, often leading to frustration and sleepless nights. While there are countless medications available, natural remedies can be just as effective—and often without the harsh side effects. One such remedy is the humble onion, a powerful natural ingredient that has been used for centuries to promote lung health and soothe coughing. In this article, we’ll show you how to prepare an onion remedy that can help cleanse your lungs, stop coughing, and improve your breathing in just three days.
Ingredients:
1 large onion (preferably organic)
2 tablespoons of raw honey (local, unprocessed honey is best)
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (optional for an extra boost)
1 glass jar or airtight container for storage
Directions:
Begin by peeling and chopping the onion into small pieces. The finer you chop it, the better it will release its healing compounds.
Place the chopped onion into your glass jar or airtight container.
Drizzle the raw honey over the onion pieces. The honey not only adds a sweet taste but also helps to soothe your throat and enhance the remedy's effectiveness.
If you choose to use apple cider vinegar, add it to the mixture. This ingredient can help support the body’s detoxification process.
Seal the container and let it sit for 8-12 hours at room temperature. During this time, the onion will release its natural juices, combining with the honey to create a potent remedy.
After the resting period, strain the mixture to remove any solid pieces, leaving only the syrup.
Store the syrup in the fridge for later use.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Take one tablespoon of the onion-honey syrup three times a day—ideally before meals—to help clear your airways and reduce coughing.
Storage: Keep the syrup in the refrigerator for up to one week. Always make sure the container is sealed tightly to preserve its potency.
Variations:
For added flavor: You can infuse the syrup with a bit of ginger or lemon for extra benefits. Ginger helps with inflammation, while lemon is rich in Vitamin C, which can boost your immune system.
For a stronger effect: If you're dealing with a particularly stubborn cough, you can increase the amount of onion or honey used, depending on your personal taste preference. Just ensure the ratio of onion to honey remains roughly equal.
