Before modern medicine took over, our grandparents relied on simple and powerful home remedies. One such remedy that is often overlooked is the use of onion peels. Yes, those peels that we usually throw away contain healing properties that can support a healthy bladder, a strong prostate, and proper urinary function.

Why Onion Peels Work:

Onion peels are rich in quercetin, a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. This helps support prostate health and reduces swelling, which is especially beneficial for men with benign prostate enlargement (BPH). Additionally, onion peels help strengthen the bladder lining, improve urinary flow, act as a natural diuretic to flush out toxins and reduce water retention, and may even help reduce urinary tract inflammation.
