💡 Why It Works
🧄 Onion’s Healing Power
Onions are rich in sulfur compounds (like allicin), flavonoids (like quercetin), and antioxidants. Together, these:
- act as natural antibiotics,
- reduce inflammation in the airways,
- thin mucus, making it easier to expel,
- provide immune support through vitamin C and phytochemicals.
🍯 Honey’s Soothing Effect
Raw honey is more than a sweetener. It has:
- antibacterial and antiviral properties,
- the ability to soothe irritated throats,
- enzymes and antioxidants that support healing,
- a natural coating effect that reduces coughing reflex.
🔗 The Combination
When combined, onion and honey create a syrup that calms coughs, loosens mucus, and helps the body fight infections. This explains why so many generations trusted this simple mixture.
