Onions are a natural mucus expectorant and cough suppressant particularly suited to viral respiratory infections. The recommended dose of onion juice is 1 tablespoon (14.7 mL) per serving. The sulfur content in onions is the primary mechanism by which they break up and thin mucus. Onion juice can be prepared without a juicer by grating and pressing through a paper-towel-lined strainer. Onions are one of the highest dietary sources of quercetin.
