Onion – health-promoting properties
For five millennia, onions have been present in the daily diet. For centuries, it was also often used in folk medicine, incl. as a medicine for rheumatic pains. It is also recommended for digestive problems, high blood pressure, excessive cholesterol, and even ulcers and … hangovers. However, it is mainly used as an antidote for colds due to the content of:
- bactericidal substances that are able to defeat bacteria, even those resistant to antibiotics,
- minerals such as sulfur, magnesium, silicon and zinc, which strengthen the body’s resistance,
- vitamin C.
In the case of reduced immunity, vitamin C can be found in dietary supplements. The preparations may contain various doses of vitamin C and additional ingredients influencing the functioning of the immune system.
Onion syrup – from grandma to doctor
Probably most of us know the taste of onion syrup. It is sweetness mixed with the spicy taste of this vegetable. For this also an unpleasant smell. It’s not a very pleasant memory for children. However, successive generations prepare a medicine for their offspring to “nip” a cold in the bud. As soon as a runny nose and cough appear, when it is necessary to expectorate and clear the respiratory tract, onion syrup is helpful. And this is not only the folk wisdom proven over the centuries. The effects of onion syrup are confirmed by doctors and they commission mothers to prepare such a mixture.

Recipe for onion syrup
This is a very simple recipe. The proportions of the ingredients are not very important. And there are only two: onion and sugar.
The onion should be finely chopped and sprinkled with sugar. You can put a layer of onion in a dish (with a lid) and sprinkle it with sugar, then another layer of onion, etc. Or mix the onion with sugar with a spoon. You can also replace sugar with honey or add a little lemon juice.
After about 5 hours, the onions release their juice, which can be given to the sick person.
This syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, but a cold should disappear sooner. For one therapy, the juice of two onions is enough. If necessary, you can always prepare another batch of syrup.

Onion syrup for children – an effective remedy
Well, onion syrup does not like children, especially when they already know the taste of syrups with a strawberry or strawberry flavor, which are much easier to swallow. But, as was once said, the worse a medicine tastes, the better it works. In the case of the onion mixture, it is important that it does not contain chemical additives. The same health, and pediatricians confirm it, if we just turn a blind eye to the high sugar content.
