In today's world, rising pollution has made it a challenging task for human beings to breathe freely, often causing diseases like asthma. For some people, asthma can be bearable, but for others, it can cause significant breathing problems. The causes of asthma could be either genetic or environmental. It also depends upon various airborne irritants that can trigger allergies.
Apart from all other home remedies for treating asthma, onion is one such element in the kitchen which is often very easy to find. Majorly known for its taste-enhancing benefits, onions are also useful in curing many health conditions. If we go by colours, onions come in two different varieties - red and white. Red onions are often more abundant in antioxidants (as compared with white ones) and are equipped with more anti-inflammatory properties. They are also rich in Vitamin C and sulphur, eventually making itself one of the best natural ingredients for treating asthma.
