The idea of the cut onion in the bedroom
Onion
The idea is simple: simply cut an onion into quarters, place it on a plate and place it next to your bed at night. This action releases vapors containing sulfur compounds which, when diffused into the air, can help decongest the nose and soothe the respiratory tract.
Beneficial effects:
Nasal decongestion: Onion vapors help clear the nasal passages, providing relief for easier breathing.
Cough Relief: By breathing in sulfur compounds, you may notice a decrease in throat irritation.
This tip, combined with appropriate treatment, is ideal for those looking for natural methods to sleep better despite a cold.
Onion Steam Inhalation to Clear the Airways.
For a more intense solution, try an onion steam inhalation. This method involves boiling a chopped onion in a pot of water. Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat and place your face over it, covering your head with a towel to create a sort of tent.
How to do it:
Cut an onion into slices and add it to a pot of water.
Bring the water to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
Cover your head with a towel and breathe in the steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
This inhalation helps to deeply decongest, releasing mucus and making breathing easier. This is an effective trick for those who struggle with a stuffy nose.
