Before the era of modern medicine, our grandparents turned to simple yet potent home remedies to stay healthy. One of these overlooked remedies is using onion peels. Yes, those humble peels we usually discard can work wonders for our bladder, prostate, and overall urinary health.
The Power of Onion Peels
Onion peels are packed with quercetin, a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. This superhero nutrient supports prostate health by reducing swelling, making it especially valuable for men dealing with benign prostate enlargement (BPH). Additionally, onion peels strengthen the bladder lining, enhance urinary flow, act as a natural diuretic to cleanse toxins, reduce water retention, and even alleviate urinary tract inflammation.
