It is easy to prepare with simple ingredients that are available in most households.<\/p>\n
You need:
\n1 large raw onion
\nCutting board and knife
\ncotton cloth
\nwoollen cloth
\nhot-water bottle or cooking pot
\nhousehold paper<\/p>\n
Cut the onion into small pieces and give it on a piece of household paper. Wrap the pieces of onion with the paper. Match the size of the packet with the space you want to place the compress on. Fill a hot-water bottle with hot water, place the compress on top and cover it with a lid. It is essential to place a piece of baking paper between the hot-water bottle and the onion wrap. Otherwise your hot-water bottle will always smell like onions! After approx. 10 minutes the compress is warm enough. Alternatively, you can bring water to the boil in a saucepan, put the lid back on it up side down and place the onion compress on top to heat it up.<\/p>\n
You put the warmed up onion package in a cotton cloth and place it on the area you want to be treated (ear, neck, chest). Finally, the area is wrapped with a woollen cloth (scarf). This way, the heat can be retained. Apply it for at least 20 minutes or as long you fell comfortable.<\/p>\n
Good to know:
\nThe onion with its melodious name Allium cepa is an all-rounder. Already our ancestors knew about this fact. It has an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, decongestant and expectorant effect.<\/p>\n
The sulphur-containing ingredients (allicin, sulfonyldisulfide and propanthial oxide) give the secretion-dissolving effect, but are also responsible for the intensive taste.<\/p>\n
The onion also contains essential oils, which are said to have antibiotic properties.<\/p>\n
The fumes of the wrap also open the mucous membranes of the nose.<\/p>\n
Be careful:
\nThe onion compress should only be used for children from 6 months up.<\/p>\n
If you have an allergy to the onion, do not use this recipe.<\/p>\n
If there is no improvement after 2-3 days, see your doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
