I’ve never tried this age old decongestant cure myself, and I can’t imagine that anybody would have gotten me to ingest this as a child, I plan on adding this home remedy to my repertoire.  To try, if only just once, with the jittery nerves of a first-time parent caring for her child’s first sickness.

You’ll need:

Onion (I’ll be using white or yellow)

1 Tbs. sugar

Knife

Bowl

Refrigerator

To Make:

Take a knife and cut the onion into chunks and put in a bowl, shake sugar over the top and cover, place in the fridge for a few hours.  As a result, you should get a sort of ‘syrup’ that makes a natural decongestant.  Feed your baby the syrup and leave the onions in the bowl for future use.

This remedy is also for pregnant women who may be unable to ingest, or unwilling to, take store bought medicines.
