00:00In cooking, it can't be left out.
00:08But in every slice, you'll definitely be crying.
00:12That's the onion.
00:15But you'll also be crying with joy when you know the benefits of it.
00:20Here in a barangay in Uson, Masbate, onions are the staple food of the 40-year-old Elenita Larieta.
00:34In her little garden, she's now growing different plants.
00:40Her plan was to have a urinary tract infection or UTI.
00:48It's hard to urinate, sir.
00:50I have to go back and forth to the toilet.
00:52I have to urinate a lot.
00:53It's just a lot.
00:55That's why it's really hard for me.
00:58She also tried different kinds of medicines.
01:01But her favorite is onions, which can be made into tea.
01:07I researched if it's really true.
01:11After I researched it, I applied it to myself.
01:19My UTI was gone.
01:23Aside from being good for her UTI, onions and honey tea also helped her with her irregular menstrual cycle.
01:32My menstrual cycle is irregular, sir.
01:34I don't know why it happened.
01:38Before, my menstrual cycle wasn't like that.
01:44I was menstruating for months.
01:46Then when I got a ligate, my menstrual cycle became irregular.
01:51My head is hot.
01:52And my heart hurts.
01:55You won't regret making onions and honey tea because the recipe is easy-peasy.
02:02Just slice two pieces of onions and boil them for 8 minutes.
02:08Strain the honey as a sweetener.
02:12And you have onion and honey tea.
02:15It smells like coriander.
02:17And when you drink it, it's delicious, sir.
02:20Because of the honey.
02:21You can drink it without honey, sir.
02:24It's important to drink the tea.
02:28Let's just let it cool.
02:30Because Elenita believes that sharing is caring,
02:34she also shared the recipe she found on her social media account.
02:39I have an albulario.
02:41It's one of the reasons why I got the idea of vlogging my hairball.
02:48Here's the tea, B.
02:49Did you know that according to experts, onions are really effective for dysmenorrhea?
02:56Because it has a natural flavonoid called quercetin
03:00that helps with uterine contractions to reduce period cramps.
03:06That's why we won't cry because of dysmenorrhea.
03:13According to our internist and health and wellness doctor, Dr. Oye Balburias,
03:17onions help to lower insulin.
03:21Quercetin, the bioactive compound of onions,
03:24can contribute in lowering insulin, lowering testosterone.
03:29If that's the case, since all hormones affect each other,
03:33if testosterone and insulin increase,
03:37it means that estrogen also increases.
03:40If a woman has estrogen-dominant status,
03:43it will reverse the ratio of estrogen to progesterone.
03:47Because of this, according to Doc,
03:49onions can help to have regular menstruation.
03:53If those are balanced,
03:55a woman will have a normal and regular cycle
04:00without any premenstrual symptoms or PMS symptoms.
04:04That should be normal if our hormones are balanced.
04:08Elenita's problem with her irregular period
04:12can be solved by drinking onion and honey tea.
04:16I drank onion and honey tea when I had a period.
04:21It helped to get rid of black blood.
04:27I encourage women to do what I did.
04:33Onions are anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant,
04:38as well as supporting hormone metabolism.
04:40That's why she lost her dysmenorrhea.
04:43But I guess it's not just the onions.
04:45Maybe it's a combination of different vegetables she eats.
04:49It's not really just the onions.
04:51Although, the bioactive compounds of onions are identified.
04:56Aside from the menstrual cycle,
04:58onions can also be a solution to women's problems
05:02when it comes to their reproductive health.
05:04Quercetin can help support hormone metabolism.
05:10One of the several hormones that can affect fertility
05:16is testosterone, insulin, and luteinizing hormones.
05:23If the levels are too high,
05:25it can contribute to the difficulty of a pregnant woman
05:30because she has a problem with her metabolism.
05:35But according to our health and wellness doctor,
05:37it's not a problem if you eat too much onions.
05:40Just include other nutritious foods and healthy lifestyles.
05:46I don't see any toxicity
05:50because these are bioactive compounds from real food.
05:55In terms of body benefits,
05:57you will definitely say yes to onions.
06:00And in terms of its final benefit,
06:02you will definitely not cry.
