🧅 Why onions?
Onions contain natural sulfur compounds that help loosen mucus from the respiratory tract and also have antibacterial and antiviral effects. They are among the most effective natural antibiotics and help soothe a sore throat and irritated mucous membranes.
Combined with thyme – a powerful antiseptic – and walnuts, which strengthen immunity, this creates a truly healing elixir that helps with coughs, burning, and itchy throats.
🍯 Ingredients:
5 onions (preferably yellow)
5 walnuts (shelled)
1 bunch of fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon of dried thyme)
3 tablespoons of honey
1 liter of water
🫖 Preparation:
Wash the onions well, without peeling them – the peel contains valuable substances. Cut them into quarters and place them in a saucepan.
Add the walnuts (broken) and pour in one liter of water.
Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.
Finally, add the thyme and let it steep for a few moments.
When the mixture has cooled, strain it, add the honey, and mix well until dissolved.
Transfer the syrup to a glass bottle with a lid and store in the refrigerator.
💛 How to use the syrup:
Adults: 1 tablespoon 3 times a day
Children (from 6 years old): 1 teaspoon 2 times a day
The syrup helps with dry and productive coughs, sore throats, hoarseness, and colds.
🌿 Natural power in every teaspoon
This simple home remedy combines three treasures of nature:
Onion – a natural antibiotic that cleanses the respiratory tract.
Thyme – effectively fights bacteria and viruses, and thins mucus.
Walnuts – boost immunity and improve the functioning of the lungs and nervous system.
🌤️ In summary
Onion syrup with thyme and walnuts is a traditional, inexpensive, and effective way to strengthen the body during colds. Nature gives us all the necessary ingredients – we just need to use them.
