As most of you know I am Canadian, and this weekend we celebrated our 150 Birthday, so with a weekend off, what's a lady to do. GO FISHING of Course. So when I was fishing I was experiencing some kind of allergy to some plant that was along the creek bed where I was fishing. My eyes started to water, and my nose was running like a tap. So after fishing, (skunked) I went home to take a histamine, but when I got to my medicine cabinet I had notice that the package was empty, so I drove to the pharmacy and of course it's a holiday it was closed. So now what. Kleenex in hand I started to google, some natural way to get rid of this. I found this recipe and I tried it immediately. Well holy SHIT, it worked like a charm. Within 10 minutes I was feeling the effects, and after about 25 minutes I was over it. It's a simple recipe that the ingredients can be found easily in most homes.
Red Onion Water
Onions contain a water soluble chemical compound called quercetin, which has been demonstrated in preliminary studies to reduce the amount of histamine produced by the body, therefore reducing symptoms of allergies. It is, essentially, nature’s version of an anti-histamine. Quercetin itself has also been shown to inhibit inflammation, as well as act as a bronchodilator, opening up airways and helping you breathe easier.
You will need…
-1 red onion
-4 cups of water
-Organic, raw, honey to taste
Directions
Thinly slice the onion and add it to the water. Allow it to infuse for 8-12 hours before drinking 1-2 times daily. It will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir some honey into individual glasses when you drink it if you like (I personally recommend it.)
Good thing I grow my own onions, Im allergic to the crap they spray on regular produce Lol. I'll give it a shot, thx!
it was amazing to see the results.
Excellent! I will try this...how was the taste? I don't care for raw onion, but if I was in the midst of a full-blown allergic reaction, it probably wouldn't matter how bad the taste. lol At that point, you just need some relief! Glad you found something natural and healthy that worked for you.
When you dissolve a tsp of raw honey into it, the taste is sweet. I like it with ice, and I leave the onions in it.

Thanks for the tip! I will make this for my hubby. He has terrible allergies.
It is truly for the hay fever, and pollen allergies, ones that come from the airborne outside. Ragweed, etc. Hope it works for him. Please share how he makes out. I know it was a success for me.
He thinks it might be molds as its worse during wet weather. But it's worth a try. I'll keep you posted---that is, IF I can get him to try it!
