In today’s world, we often forget the power of old-fashioned home remedies. Our grandparents relied on simple ingredients to keep themselves healthy, and one such remedy that deserves more attention is the use of onion peels. Yes, those peels that we usually throw away contain amazing healing properties that can support a healthy bladder, a strong prostate, and proper urinary function.
How do Onion Peels Work?
Onion peels are rich in a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound called quercetin. This powerful compound helps support prostate health and reduces swelling, which is especially beneficial for men with benign prostate enlargement (BPH). Additionally, onion peels strengthen the lining of the bladder, improve urinary flow, act as a natural diuretic to flush out toxins and reduce water retention, and may even help reduce urinary tract inflammation.
