Onion Syrup - a cough remedy

This is one of the simplest and best acting cough remedies I know. It might sound not very appealing to some, but I actually like the taste, and my daughter even loves it! Easy to make and very effective for coughs. 

Why is it so effective? Onions act as expectorant meaning they help to loosen mucus. Their anti-inflammatory properties help further to fight infections. 

Years ago I got rid of a very persistent cough after taken this for two days straight! Hope it helps you, too!

Get better soon!

Recipe Onion syrup:

1/2 - 1 onion
1 - 3 tbsp wholesome sugar like Rapadura or Sucanat.

Chop the onion, put it in a jar, add the sugar and stir it. 

If you chop the onion small then there will be already some syrup you can use after 15 minutes or so. Maybe stir it a bit more, and let sit longer. Put it in the fridge if not used within one day. There it will keep for a couple of days. Only thing is to close the lid tightly because the smell can be intense :-).

Start with a tablespoon of the onion syrup as soon as there is some, and keep taking it throughout the day. Might need to be taken for a couple of days.

Did it help? Would love to hear about it!
