Though a common vegetable, onions are anything but ordinary. On the contrary, onions are often referred to as the “Queen of Vegetables” and are a nutrition-rich, therapeutic food for health.
Shu Rong, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner from the UK, brings over 26 years of professional medical experience, including serving as a special physician to the Royal Family of Dubai. She offers a range of therapeutic menus featuring onion recipes, which she generously shares with her clients.
The Magic of Onions
Onions are rich in minerals, sulfides, and antioxidants such as vitamin C, B6, folic acid, cellulose, and potassium, as well as the anti-inflammatory flavonoid quercetin. Onions are antibacterial and diuretic—a function that helps remove excess water and eliminate swelling in the eyes and legs.
A Case Study
A patient of Shu often came down with the flu—with symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, and chills.
