Onion Oil
Onion oil, extracted by steam distilling the bulb of the onion, is a golden oil with a sharp pungent aroma and many incredible health benefits.
Onion oil is known for its anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, expectorant, anti-spasmodic and carminative properties, and is most commonly used to treat infections like sinusitis, colds, flu and other respiratory ailments. Onion oil can also help to soothe digestive symptoms when taken internally or massaged on the abdomen.
Its powerful anti-microbial properties make this oil a favorite for treating topical wounds, cuts and bacterial and fungal infections.
