According to Ayurvedic treatises, onions and garlic provoke aggression, anxiety and agitation. At the same time, Ayurveda recognizes the healing (in particular, anthelmintic) properties of these vegetables and does not object to treatment with them.

The ability of onions and their green shoots to kill worms was demonstrated in a study conducted by Indians in 2011. An alcoholic extract of onions at a concentration of 50 mg/ml paralyzed the worms in just a minute and killed them in 4 minutes.

Contraindications and side effects

Even such a common vegetable as onion has its own contraindications, which are especially important to listen to when this product is used in large quantities to treat ailments.

Among them:

  • liver diseases;
  • gastrointestinal diseases (it is not recommended to eat raw onions);
  • bronchial asthma;
  • nickel allergy;
  • increased blood clotting.

Recipe for cleaning with onion tincture:

  1. Fill ½ of the volume of a 1.5-liter bottle with finely chopped onion.
  2. Fill the bottle up to the neck with vodka.
  3. Leave for 10 days.
  4. Drink onion tincture 1 tbsp. l. before lunch and dinner

Anyone who loves pickled herring with onions will be interested to know that this unremarkable dish can also remove helminths from the body if prepared correctly.

Scheme for the treatment of helminthiases with herring and onions:

  1. Peel and slice one herring as thinly as possible.
  2. Peel and chop a large onion.
  3. Top the herring with onions, sprinkle with lemon juice and pour over vegetable oil.
  4. Eat twice a day on an empty stomach, without eating or drinking anything. You need to eat all the herring in a day. If you are thirsty, you can drink only 2 hours after eating.

Ready-made natural preparations

If contraindications and “side effects” of onions or garlic do not allow the use of these vegetables for the treatment of helminthiasis, or a person is constrained by a lack of time and simply does not have time to prepare decoctions or infusions, ready-made anthelmintic drugs can successfully replace them. Natural anthelmintics are produced in the form of teas, tinctures and concentrated extracts, and a whole complex of anthelmintic plants is responsible for the removal of helminths:

  • ferula jungarica (also provides treatment for mycoses);
  • birch leaves;
  • common agrimony;
  • pharmaceutical camomile;
  • wormwood;
  • yarrow;
  • Salvia officinalis;
  • peppermint;
  • Oak bark;
  • calendula officinalis;
  • tansy;
  • swamp grass;
  • Chinese sumac.

An additional ingredient in some anthelmintic tinctures - bear bile - helps dissolve and remove ascaris eggs, pinworms and other helminths from the body.

Onion extracts and juice, as shown by numerous studies and reviews from people, are really capable of treating helminthiases, mycoses and protozoal infections. However, onions and its close relative garlic are very aggressive vegetables and are contraindicated in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and bronchial asthma.

Every housewife cannot do without onions when preparing her culinary masterpieces. But for this, only the fleshy part is used, and the husk, as a rule, goes into the trash. But in vain. After all, it contains very useful substances, such as vitamins and minerals, which can bring many benefits to the human body. And if you have so far only used onion “clothes” to color eggs for Easter, then we invite you to learn about its other uses.

Let's look at how useful a decoction of onion peels is, and in what cases it can help a person.

Beneficial features

Onion peel contains valuable fibers that contribute to the treatment of cancer, heart disease and gastrointestinal tract diseases. Flavonoids and phytoncides ensure that pathogenic bacteria and fungi do not penetrate into the human body. Onion broth contains vitamins C, PP, E, B, as well as organic acids that can have a healing effect.

Experts say that this remedy has several effects:

  • antihistamine;
  • diuretic;
  • anti-inflammatory;
  • antioxidant;
  • antispasmodic;
  • radioprotective;
  • decongestant;
  • antitumor.

It is for these reasons that onion broth is of great benefit. And it can be used both internally and as an external remedy.

Application

This remedy can be used in the following cases:

  • bronchial asthma;
  • allergy;
  • kidney disease;
  • fungal diseases of the extremities;
  • stomatitis;
  • to strengthen the immune system;
  • seborrhea;
  • hair loss;
  • oncological, endocrine and heart diseases;
  • to strengthen blood vessels;
  • sore throat and laryngitis;
  • inflammation of the gums;
  • diaper rash;
  • skin diseases.

As you can see, a decoction of onion peels has found quite wide application. Therefore, do not rush to throw away the husks, but put them in a bag so that you can prepare this simple remedy if necessary. Just a few milliliters of it added to tea will save you from headaches and lower blood pressure.

Attention! Onion broth can be consumed even during pregnancy, but you should still consult your doctor first.

If you rinse your hair with this decoction, after a while you will get rid of dandruff and strengthen your hair. It is useful for atherosclerosis and hypertension, and also helps heal wounds.

When coughing

Onion decoction is good for coughs. And preparing such a remedy is very simple:

  • put two tablespoons of husks in a saucepan;
  • add 2 glasses of water;
  • bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes.

Take 125 ml of the prepared decoction half an hour before meals.

There is another way to treat cough with a decoction of onion peels. They simply replace tea and drink it as often as possible. To prepare such a product, you need to “undress” 10 onions, put the husks in a saucepan, add a liter of water and cook until the liquid is reduced by exactly half.

The finished decoction should be cooled, filtered and taken for several days until the cough completely disappears.

Advice! To soften the taste, onion tea can be consumed with honey.

Healthy hair

Now we should talk about the benefits of onion broth for hair. When cooked, it is enriched with natural dyes that the husk contains, so it is often used to tint hair. But this is not the only purpose of the decoction. With its help you can get rid of dandruff, prevent hair loss and significantly improve their condition.

And if you want to restore strength and beauty to your curls, we recommend that you use a decoction of onion peels for this. It works great for both hair loss and baldness. After using this simple remedy, their structure will noticeably improve, the strands will become strong and strong. The decoction nourishes the scalp with nutrients and effectively strengthens the follicles. If the procedures are carried out regularly, you can forget about hair loss for a long time.

For baldness

The decoction can be used to prevent baldness. It should be rubbed into the roots of the hair after each shampoo. The product is kept for about 40 minutes and then washed off with warm water.

If your hair has already begun to fall out, you can prepare the following remedy:

  • put one tablespoon of onion peel and birch leaves into the pan;
  • pour in 300 ml of water and bring to a boil;
  • cook for 10 minutes, cool, filter.

The product is rubbed into the hair roots 2-3 times a week.

To improve hair growth

To stimulate hair growth, you can prepare the following decoction from onion peels:

  • add water to the onion skins and cook for 25 minutes;
  • remove from heat, wrap the broth in a warm blanket and leave overnight;
  • In the morning, filter the product and add the same amount of cognac and chopped red pepper;
  • leave for 3 hours.

The resulting infusion is rubbed into the hair roots daily. The duration of the course is one month.

For coloring

You can prepare another decoction of onion peels, which is used to disguise gray hair. For this recipe you will need two handfuls of yellow onion skins. Pour it with 300 ml of water and cook for 20 minutes. The finished product is filtered and applied to the hair.

Advice! The longer you keep the resulting liquid on your hair, the more intense the color will be. As a result, light strands will acquire a pleasant golden hue, and light brown ones will become fresher, while gray hair will be less noticeable.

If you want to slightly change the tone of your hair and make it slightly golden, then we suggest you consider the following recipe:

  • put 50 g of raw materials into a container and add a glass of water;
  • bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes;
  • Filter the finished product and cool.

To achieve a lasting shade, it is recommended to use the decoction every day.

Accordingly, if you want to get a darker shade, then you will need more husk. To achieve a brown-golden color, add 350 g of raw material per 1 liter of water, and to make the curls turn reddish-orange - 250 g.

Advice! Before dyeing, hair should first be washed and dried. Next, the decoction is applied to each strand, after which a plastic cap is put on the head, and covered with a towel on top.

If your period is late

Onion decoction is sometimes used for late menstruation. Its use leads to the fact that the muscles of the uterus begin to contract intensively, and this causes menstruation literally the next day. It does not matter how much time has passed since the supposed start of the cycle. But if the cause of the delay is pregnancy, then this remedy will be powerless.

The recipe for preparing a drug that can restore the menstrual cycle is as follows:

  • Place 100 g of husks in a saucepan and add a liter of water;
  • bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes;
  • Remove from heat, cool, filter.
The finished product should have a red-brown tint, and the amount of liquid should be halved. You should drink a decoction of onion peels twice a day 30 minutes before meals. At the same time, its temperature should be at room temperature.

For painful periods, prepare the following remedy:

  • Peel 2 kg of onion;
  • pour 3 liters of water into the husk;
  • bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about half an hour;
  • cool, filter.

The liquid should take on a bright red hue. To get rid of pain during menstruation, a decoction of onion peels should be drunk in the morning on an empty stomach for a week.

Important! Remember that a change in the cycle can be caused by a number of reasons: a change in climate or time zone, excessive excitement and adjustment of biorhythms. In this case, a delay of five days is considered quite normal.

Perhaps the topic itself may seem strange to many. Well, what good can be in the husk? It's practically trash. But after reading the material further, I think you will pay attention to simple recipes for your health.

Surprisingly, onion skins contain much more microelements than the onion itself. And it is rich in quercetin, which has a versatile healing effect on the human body.

How to make medicine from onion skins

How are onion peels used in folk medicine? On its basis, you can prepare an alcohol tincture, from it you can make an infusion, decoction, extract, as well as oil and ointment for external use.

First, we will look at how to prepare medicines, and then we will talk about treating onion peels for various diseases.
