Here’s a careful, natural approach to using onion and onion peel for supporting prostate and bladder health. While there’s limited scientific evidence, onions contain antioxidants, flavonoids, and sulfur compounds that may help reduce inflammation and support urinary health.
1. Onion Peel Tea
Ingredients
-
1–2 large onions
-
Outer dry peels (yellow or red onion, thoroughly washed)
-
3–4 cups water
-
Optional: honey or lemon for taste
Instructions
-
Wash the onions well to remove dirt or chemicals.
-
Peel off the outer layers (dry skins) and rinse them.
-
Chop a whole onion (you can use inner parts too for taste) and place in a pot with the peels.
-
Add water and bring to a boil.
-
Reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes.
-
Strain and drink warm.
Suggested Use:
-
1 cup in the morning or evening.
-
Can be consumed daily for a short period (1–2 weeks) to support urinary function.
2. Benefits of Onion & Peel
-
Anti-inflammatory: Helps reduce swelling in the urinary tract and prostate.
-
Antioxidants (Quercetin): May help protect tissues and reduce oxidative stress.
-
Mild diuretic effect: Promotes urine flow, helping flush the bladder.
3. Tips & Precautions
-
Use organic onions if possible to reduce chemical exposure.
-
Avoid large amounts if you have stomach ulcers or acid reflux, as onions can irritate the stomach.
-
Not a replacement for medical treatment—if you have prostatitis, enlarged prostate, or frequent urinary issues, consult a doctor.
Optional Enhancement
-
Add ginger, turmeric, or parsley to the tea to increase anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects.
-
Drink plenty of water alongside to help flush the urinary tract.
💡 Key idea: Onion peel tea is gentle and supportive, but results are mild and gradual. Think of it as a natural urinary “flush” and anti-inflammatory boost, not a cure.
