Apple boiled onion water is mainly used to alleviate early symptoms of a cold and assist in regulating gastrointestinal function. Apples are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, while onions contain sulfides and quercetin. The combination of the two can help alleviate throat discomfort, promote digestion, and enhance immunity. Suitable for drinking when experiencing nasal congestion, cough, or mild gastrointestinal bloating caused by wind cold and cold, but cannot replace medication treatment. The polyphenolic substances in apples and the volatile oil components in onions can synergistically exert anti-inflammatory effects, have a mild stimulating effect on respiratory mucosa, and can dilute sputum. The boiling process will convert the spicy substances of onions into sweet components, reducing direct stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and making them more suitable for consumption by the elderly and children. This beverage contains pectin substances that can adsorb harmful substances in the intestines. Drinking it during mild diarrhea can help stabilize the intestinal environment.

Long term consumption by individuals with weak and cold constitution may worsen symptoms of cold hands and feet, while excessive stomach acid consumption may induce acid reflux. Sulfides in onions can irritate the gastric mucosa, and should be avoided during the acute phase of gastric ulcers. Some people are allergic to onions and need to observe whether there are reactions such as skin redness or shortness of breath when drinking for the first time. Diabetes patients need to control their intake. The cooking process will make sugar analysis, which may affect the stability of blood sugar.

When making, it is recommended to use fresh apples and purple skinned onions, peel and cut them into pieces, then put them in a cold water pot. After boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Ginger can be added in moderation to enhance the sweating effect. It is advisable to maintain a temperature of 40-50 degrees Celsius when drinking, and not exceed 300 milliliters per day. If the symptoms persist for more than three days or if high fever, purulent sputum, or other symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly and do not rely on dietary therapy to delay treatment. Honey can be used for daily consumption to adjust the taste, but it is prohibited for infants under one year old to add honey.
