Ingredients:
1 large onion (yellow or red, organic if possible)
2 tablespoons of raw honey (natural antibacterial booster)
Optional: 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped (enhances the antibiotic effect)
Instructions:
Peel and slice the onion into thin rings.
Place the slices in a clean glass jar.
Add the honey (and garlic if used).
Cover and let it sit overnight at room temperature — around 8–12 hours.
In the morning, a thick syrup will have formed. Strain and store it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.
Dosage:
Adults: 1 tablespoon every 2–3 hours for acute cough or bronchitis.
Children over 3 years: 1 teaspoon every 3 hours.
(Note: Do not give honey to infants under 1 year old.)
This syrup lasts for up to 3–4 days when refrigerated.
5. Why Honey Enhances Onion’s Effects
Honey itself is known as a natural antibiotic and demulcent.
When combined with onion, the synergy becomes remarkable:
Honey seals the active compounds, preventing oxidation.
It soothes the throat and reduces irritation.
It enhances the antimicrobial effect of sulfur compounds.
