There are moments in life when health problems appear quietly, slowly, and without warning. In my family, high blood sugar became a concern years ago. My mother struggled with constant fluctuations, fatigue, and dizziness. Doctor visits always led to expensive medications and strict diets. But one thing kept catching my attention — she continued to use onions as a natural remedy. At first, I didn’t take it seriously. But when her blood sugar levels began stabilizing, curiosity turned into interest.
Eventually, I decided to try the same remedy myself. I approached it carefully, consistently, and patiently — and the results amazed me. Today, I want to share this experience so others might benefit, especially those who feel stuck between medication expenses and ineffective treatments.
How I Prepared the Onion Remedy
This process is surprisingly simple. I purchased 3 kilograms of large onions, peeled them all, and divided them into 10 equal portions — one for each morning.
Each morning, I took one portion, cleaned and chopped it finely, and placed it into a small enamel pot. Then I poured one glass of boiling water (250 ml) over it. I allowed the mixture to boil gently for 4–5 minutes.
Afterward, I removed and discarded the onion pieces, keeping only the liquid. That liquid was then divided into three equal parts, and I drank each portion 30 minutes before meals, three times per day, for ten days straight.
Six months later, I repeated the treatment — not because symptoms returned, but as a preventive measure.
Sometimes, healing doesn’t come from expensive pharmacies. It can come from something sitting quietly in your kitchen.
Why Onions Are So Powerful
Onions are often overlooked because they are ordinary and inexpensive. Yet their biochemical composition is extraordinary. They are rich in easily digestible carbohydrates like glucose, fructose, and sucrose. They contain:
- Vitamins B, PP, and E
- Carotene
- Essential oils
And a remarkably rich mineral profile, including:
- Iron
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Phosphorus
- Calcium
- Copper
- Zinc
- Manganese
They also contain malic and citric acids, along with phytoncides, which naturally destroy harmful bacteria.
In short, onions are a small pharmacy wrapped in paper-thin layers.
Health Benefits Beyond Blood Sugar Control
Onions have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Besides stabilizing blood sugar, they:
- Improve digestion
- Stimulate gastric secretions
- Strengthen the immune system
- Support cardiovascular function
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve appetite
- Provide mild calming effects
- Increase sperm production and enhance sexual vitality
They are also helpful in slowing the development of atherosclerosis and hypertension.
Doctors know this, but sometimes natural solutions don’t come with marketing campaigns — so people overlook them.
Onion in Traditional Folk Medicine
Traditional healers have always valued onions for their versatility. They are used:
- Raw
- Boiled
- Baked
- Dried
- As juice
- As infusion
Raw onion is recommended for tonsillitis, bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, low stomach acid, constipation, and prostate issues. However, if raw onion irritates your digestive system, baked or boiled onion still offers nearly the same benefits — without the discomfort.
When baked, onions retain high concentrations of biologically active compounds. They are particularly useful for:
- Coronary heart disease
- Arrhythmia
- Hypertension
- Low stomach acidity
- Chronic gastritis
- Pancreatitis
Onion and Diabetes
The reason onions help manage blood sugar lies in their ability to:
- Reduce glucose levels
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Support pancreatic function
- Lower cholesterol
For individuals with prediabetes or early-stage diabetes, this can be invaluable. However, if you already take medication, monitoring blood sugar is essential to avoid excessive lowering.
How to Take Onion for Maximum Effect
For therapeutic purposes:
Take 50–100 grams of baked, steamed, or dried onion:
- 1–2 times daily
- 15 minutes before meals
- For 2–3 weeks
After ten days, repeat the course. Consistency matters — folk medicine works gently, slowly, and deeply.
External Use: Onion for Skin and Infections
Onions don’t only help internally. They also help skin heal faster.
For boils (furunculosis):
- Bake an onion
- Cut it in half
- Apply one half while still warm to the boil
- Secure with a bandage
- Replace every 4–5 hours
This helps bring pus to the surface, accelerates healing, and reduces pain.
Sometimes the simplest things are more effective than complicated ones.
Additional Benefits Worth Knowing
Onions:
- Improve food flavor
- Enrich meals with vitamins and minerals
- Increase appetite
- Stimulate digestive juices
- Calm nervous tension
- Strengthen heart function
- Help fight bacterial infections
During flu season, onions slow the development of complications.
There’s a reason many grandmothers left cut onions in rooms: phytoncides clean the air.
Important Notes and Caution
While onions are safe, certain conditions require caution:
Avoid excessive raw onion if you suffer from:
- Severe stomach ulcers
- Acute gastritis
- Serious liver or kidney disease
In such cases, baked or steamed onions are gentler.
Always talk to a doctor if you are on medication — natural remedies can interact with pharmaceutical treatments.
Final Thoughts
When I first tried this remedy, I was skeptical. We live in a world where expensive equals “better.” But after ten days, I felt lighter, clearer, and more balanced. My blood sugar stabilized, and fatigue faded.
It reminded me of something important:
Sometimes, nature whispers answers while medicine shouts instructions.
We should learn to listen to both.
If you struggle with high blood sugar, consider adding onions to your daily routine. They are affordable, accessible, and surprisingly powerful.
Wishing you stable sugar, strong health, and many years of balanced energy.
Sometimes the best solution is already sitting in your kitchen.
