Choose a firm, fresh onion. The fresher the onion, the better the results. The natural compounds in onions, such as quercetin, have been recognized for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Prepare the Garlic: Garlic, known for its natural antibiotic properties due to the compound allicin, should be fresh and finely chopped to activate its health-boosting enzymes.
Combine the Ingredients: Hollow out the onion just enough to hold a generous tablespoon or two of the chopped garlic. The juice from the garlic will mingle with the onion, creating a blend of flavors and benefits.
Let It Rest: Cover the onion with its top and let it sit overnight at room temperature. This allows the ingredients to infuse, forming a juice at the bottom of the onion.
Administering the Tonic: The following day, a teaspoon of this potent juice can be taken as is, or mixed with a bit of warm water or honey to soften the taste.
