Unlock Onion Power against Winter Coughs and Colds!

Winter Coughs and Colds? Onions!

Don’t underestimate the humble onion!

Onions help decongest the airways and reduce persistent coughing.

The sulphur compounds in onions stimulate secretions, helping to remove congestion and unblock stuffy noses.

High in quercetin, onions boost immunity and reduce inflammation, combating flu, colds, and allergies naturally.

Tip: Chop and onion and put the pieces in a sock, leave it on the bedside table to help clear your airways while you sleep. (Good for babies too!)

Tip: Incorporating onions into your diet might give your immune system the extra kick it needs. Plus, they’re delicious in soups and stews – perfect for those chilly winter days!

Tip: If you can bear it, eating raw onion is better for these health benefits!
