Onions supply only minimal amounts of nutrients compared to other fresh vegetables.  The most dominant mineral in onions are:

 

Potassium - Helps to promote healthy heart muscles.

Phosphorus - Removes acids from the bloodstream and promotes repair of the nervous system.

Iodine – Regulates weight control and mental development.

Nickel – Assists the utilization of sugar.

Silicon – Promotes better blood circulation and prevents nervous and mental fatigue.

 

Onions are available in all shapes, sizes, and potencies.  All onions contain natural antiseptic oils such as: allyl disulphate and cycloallin and these have shown to be beneficial in reducing blood clots within the veins and blood vessels. Onions also supply a fair amount of the heart muscle vitamin E.  Onion is one of the few sources of these natural antiseptic oils.
