Onions are far more useful than most of us realize and while some may view them as little more than a cooking accessory, they have a variety of usages that you may not have taken the time to consider. Let’s take a closer look at some of the awesome uses for your onions that you are currently neglecting. Thanks to this list of helpful hacks, you will never look at onions in quite the same way ever again.
Onions make for a phenomenal cold remedy. Once you have come down with a cold, boil some water and toss a few onions in. Sure, the prospect of guzzling lemon tea when you’re already not feeling well might not be that appealing. It is tough to argue with the almost immediate results that this remedy can provide, though.
Ear aches are another area where onions can be put to almost immediate use. By cutting up an onion and shoving a piece into your achy ear, you are helping to reduce your level of pain and suffering because of the anti inflammatory properties that they possess.
When something gets into your eye, most of us fall into the common trap of simply rubbing at it in an effort to remove it. This can cause damage to the eye in certain instances and by cutting onions, you can use the tears as a means of naturally flushing it out.
Holding an onion over a cut does wonders for the long term health of the area. Not only does the bleeding stop, but the onion acts as a natural disinfectant. The healing process is hastened and inflammation is reduced significantly.
Scars can be treated with the use of onions as well. All you need to do is crush up an onion and run it through a sieve to experience the positive effects. Pour the juice onto a clean cloth and apply it to the scarred area on a daily basis. You will see a noticeable difference within days.
Skin infections are often treated with onions and you need a combination of onions, milk and bread. Boiling the milk and mixing in the bread and onions to create a paste is the best way to go. Clean off the infected region and let the paste sit on the area for two hours in order to receive the best results.
Struggling with a really bad sunburn? Place an onion slice on the spot and add some egg whites. This keeps the area protected from any further damage and infuse the region with nutrients that will expedite the healing process. You should notice a difference within a few hours.
Once a bug bite has occurred, it is time to wash the area with some cool water and place an onion on the spot. The vapors remove the bug’s poison from the skin and the swelling will go down as a result.
