The Miracles
Of an
Onion
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and
be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. For I rejoiced great-
ly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in
thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
3 John 1:2-3

situations.
Listed below are some ways that they benefit the system:-
HOW MUCH TO USE
Half a raw onion a day can boost your good HDL blood cholesterol by
an average of 30 percent.
A tablespoon of cooked onions will lower the clotting tendency of the
blood thus reducing the chance of stroke.
A half a cup of onions raw or cooked can clean your blood, thus keep-
ing the blood in great shape.
Two ounces of onion juice per day will lower your blood pressure.
Anti-asthmatic Onion
Onions, from the family as garlic, possess anti-asthmatic properties.
The onion’s action in relieving asthma is due to its ability to inhibit the

or chopped onions by your bed. Breathing the fumes of the onion will
help open up and purify the sinuses.
