Properties of Onion
Part of Plant Used: Bulb Top In Cooking Recipe (Paula) "Our darling grandson was 6 weeks old and was coughing so hard with a bug that he was throwing up. He was too little for cough syrup. We cut an onion up and put it in a small pan with ½ cup of sugar, cooked it for 30 minutes on very low heat. The onion liquefied and the sugar melted into the onion liquid. We strained it and gave him about ¼ of a tsp. His cough settled right down. We gave it to him every time the coughing spasms would start. After a few hours his coughing was only to cough stuff up. It was amazing. When we made this we were tempted to add water – the onion was just in with the sugar and we were afraid it would burn. We put it on medium low and it was amazing how fast the onion turned to liquid. It doesn’t need any water." Where to get them: Onions can be bought at the supermarket or farmers market.
