User Reviews for onion

Over the last seven years, cough had always been the biggest health issue of my life. Sometimes I´d catch cold and have it either during it and sometimes just post-viral cough that would last for months, and sometimes my cough would trigger off during hours of stress or tension. In my case it used to be so relentless that even a cortisone would cause a minor relief, as opposed to going away completely. Then my elder brother looked up online and found onion as a recommended remedy. To be very honest I was very skeptical of it given how many popular and centuries remedies such as ginger, turmeric or even honey had had zero effect so far. So my brother asked my mom to dip an onion in half a glass water (it forms a very basic part the Pakistani kitchen) and after a few hours I began taking it spoon by spoon and it worked like magic. Wow, I´ll never forget that day and the immediate relief that it provided! We´d dip it overnight and I´d take it the following day for 10-12 days and the cough cured completely as I´m off it now. On my way, I discovered how wonderfully it works even on intestinal inflammation, although I´m yet to find it being listed online as one of its benefits. No, I´m not a patient of inflammatory bowel disease, but I do have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and some food often cause me intestinal inflammation. So I now occasionally use it to counter that, and it is great for IBS anyway. It just can´t be made a part of the daily routine though due to the bad breath that it gives. So, whereas it immediately helped me with my cough, through my experience I discovered two more benefits of it and I thought I must state it somewhere online as a reference for others. Turmeric too works great for intestinal inflammatiom but I can´t take that for the mysterious insomnia that it causes me each time I take that. So I´m pleased to have come to discovered about the medical benefits that I can draw from onions.Read More Read Less
