Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Cooked Onions are healthy but cooking the onion does cook some of the medicinal qualities out. Raw is best. Delicious in salads or on veggie platers with dip. Onion soup cooks many of the medicinal qualities into the broth making it good for you but still not as good as raw Organic Onion juice. The fumes from chopped Onions have been known to clear hard-core sinus infections immediately. Eating raw Onions is much easier than you would think. You might cry like Miss America but the taste is sweet, awakening and healthy. All Onions are medicinal: red, yellow, white, green, leeks and shallots. Yes Organic Solutions has Onion in the Total Tonic tincture and a few others. I think an Onion tincture would be great to have in the kitchen for flavoring. My wife recently dehydrated some organic onions, ground them and made fresh onion powder for cooking. She kept the temperature below 105 degrees so the enzymes stay alive. What Onions are the best? I'd say the little wild ones. Most people only see grass growing along the side of the road and in the parks but I see onions everywhere. I walked to my mail box a few days ago and picked a whole bag of them on the way back a dried them. The little wild Onions that pretend to be grass are in my opinion the best tasting and the best medicine. ~B Another onion question to add on: Are cooked onions good (I love, and sometimes crave sauteed onions with minced garlic), or do they lose all their healing properties? Thanks, Leah how do onions help w/ sinus infections, cold or flu? I guess what i am asking - is in what manner are they used to help - boiled in water? Then that water used in a netti pot ( after cooling) - or juast is eating good enough?...or? Do people make onion tincture? If so, What kind of onion is best?...the regular common cooking ones?...or something more exotic? Thanks. d Onions are extremely good for you. Onions have many of the the same anti fungal, anti bacterial, anti parasitic, anti viral properties that are in Garlic. The residue particles when Onions are cut clean out your eyes and make vision better. Onions can be put on tick bites to get rid of Lymes disease. Onions work great for sinus infections and any other infection, cold, flu or virus. Onions and Garlic are anti plague. You can plant Onion tops in some dirt and come back a week later for some fresh green onions. Most of all: Onions are yummy. ~B Journeyman Herbalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Dad had the flu for almost three weeks and now I have a cold, sore throat and cough, I may try the onion trick. Hope it works and we all stay well.Also in the Giddings news it said to place warm wet towels over your face for several nights for awhile and you may not get migraines or not very bad ones. I had also read in the Houston Chronicle to breath in vapors from hot water and it helps migraines.
