Recent research published in an American health magazine, journal Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, revealed amazing data about the healing abilities of onion peel, which contains powerful nutrients and anti-inflammatory agents.
The researchers highlighted a substance called 'quercetin', attributed with remarkable properties in healing allergies, reducing inflammation, treating depression and anxiety, lowering cholesterol, and healing muscle pain. According to them, "Onion peel can serve as a valuable nutritional component because it is rich in insoluble dietary fibers, which are easy for the body to digest. The soluble fibers help remove toxic waste from the colon, maintain optimal acidity levels, and even prevent bacteria from producing carcinogenic substances."
Onion peel is also rich in antioxidants, and the research suggests that it is beneficial to cook it and consume it as tea to "improve your health and natural immunity immediately."
What else can this tea help with? Here is a short list:
1. Preventing hair loss and strengthening hair follicles.
2. Treating leg muscle cramps.
3. Lowering high blood pressure.
4. Aiding in the healing of various inflammations.
5. Preventing the spread of cancer cells in the body.
6. Preventing cardiovascular diseases.
