There is something unique when night falls in my house, that night my daughter had been hit by a cold, I can not bear to see it because the breathing a little distracted and accompanied by a cough. But why do I say it all the unique ?. Not unique as my child was sick, but the unique is my wife doing something, maybe this is a ritual heritage of she's ancestors.
That night my wife was rushed to the kitchen and brought a small plate, and on top of the plate, there are two red onions and kept at the bedside that is close to my daughter who was sleeping. I wonder what my wife did, I was asked about it, why to carry two red onions into the room. My wife answered It can help relieve breathing for someone who is exposed to a cold, I was still confused to hear the answer.
Once I was looking for information on this onion, it is true, besides useful for seasoning, many of the properties of Shallots for traditional medicine, especially to help relieve a cough and cold. Shallots or scientific name Allium Cepa L var Aggregatum a lot of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, calcium, iron and contains natural body regulating substances such as auxin and gibberellin.
Many people don't know the benefits of the Shallot that can absorb bacteria and viruses. To cope with colds and coughs, in Shallots contained sulfur compounds, are also able to overcome the interference in the respiratory tract that is capable of relief and dilute phlegm someone who had the flu and was accompanied by a cough, as did my wife the way just to save two Shallots in room, and she will smell the aroma of Shallots by patients with colds, so it will relieve breathing.
I was amazed by my wife can readily cope with a child who has a cold at night while sleeping, when the medicine supply has run out, and pharmacies out there would have been closed because it was already shown at 12 am. Maybe that's one way to be able to relieve colds in addition to the cold medicine. That was my experience in my small family, may be useful.
