Brilio.net – Shallots are one of the ingredients that are often used in various dishes around the world. In addition to providing a delicious taste, shallots also have extraordinary health benefits, one of which is beneficial for babies.
Shallots are often a mainstay if the baby has the flu. There are several traditional methods of using shallots for babies. Lauren Feden in her book entitled Natural Baby and Childcare argues, the smell of onions can help overcome nasal congestion in babies, especially when they have a cold. However, further research is needed to prove this opinion.
Traditionally, onions placed on the soles of babies’ feet can treat colds naturally. Putting onions on the feet is considered to have a reflexological effect that can help get rid of toxins from the body.
However, research published by the Maturity Journal states that this method is not effective. Most opinions linking the reflexological effect of shallots lack adequate scientific basis. Even though onions have great health benefits, some babies may experience an allergic reaction to them. So, if your baby experiences an allergic reaction such as a skin rash, itching, or shortness of breath after consuming shallots, stop giving food immediately and contact your doctor.
If your baby doesn’t have allergies, there’s nothing wrong with trying red onions as a natural cold remedy. Apart from being a natural cold remedy, there are several benefits of shallots for babies. Here are 11 benefits of red onions for babies, summarized brilio.net from various sources on Friday (17/2).
