健康保健:7種令你含淚帶笑的洋蔥用途
People, despite getting teary-eyed, enjoy the numerous culinary uses of the onion. The gas containing vegetable is both a primary ingredient and a flavor enhancer in many dishes. If you think its list of uses end at the kitchen, you better think again. It is proven to be a medicinal wonder, as well as a metal polisher and an insect repellent. With its number of alternative uses, the onion may induce tears of joy to any DIY pundit. Here are seven of its tearfully - pleasing uses.
儘管會淚眼汪汪，人們還是很享受洋蔥的大量烹飪用途。這種氣味濃重的蔬菜既是衆多菜餚的基本原料也是增味劑。如果你認爲它的用途僅限於廚房，那你最好再想想。它還被證明是藥物奇蹟、金屬拋光劑以及驅蟲劑。有了衆多另類用法，洋蔥可能會讓任何一個DIY專家留下喜悅的眼淚。這裏是它的7種令你含淚帶笑的用途。
1. Insect Bite Treatment - The onion’s enzymes are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, which makes the vegetable an unusually effective treatment. Rub some onion to a bee sting, mosquito bite or any insect bite. After a few hours, the pain, itchiness and swelling will subside.
1、治療蟲咬——洋蔥的酶以消炎作用著稱，這使得它有不同尋常的治療效果。在蜜蜂和蚊蟲叮咬處用洋蔥擦一下，幾小時後，疼痛、瘙癢和腫脹就會消退。
2. Odor Remover - Chemical solutions, like pain and varnish, have strong odors that can adversely affect your health when inhaled. Instead of purchasing a pricey deodorizer, you might as well apply a mixture of onions and water on the smelly areas. The onion’s scent won’t completely eliminate the chemical stench, but it will surely bring the fumes to a more tolerable level.
2、去除異味——化學溶劑，如油漆和指甲油，有很大的氣味，吸入後會對身體很不利。與其買昂貴的除臭劑，你還不如用洋蔥和水的混合物灑在有味道的地方。洋蔥的氣味雖然不能完全消除濃重的化學異味，但肯定能讓空氣保持在一個可忍受的水平上。
3. Reliever for Burns - Burns sting and are prone to infection. Treat those inflammations by mixing onion slices with a little water. Apply the mixture to the affected areas and within a few hours, your burns will subside. Just reapply whenever necessary.
3、緩解燒傷——燒傷刺痛而且容易感染。用幾片洋蔥加點水治療炎症。把混合物塗抹在感染處，幾小時內，你的燙傷就會消退。需要的地方還可以再次塗抹。
4. Insect Repellent - The gases emitted by the onion, when sliced, have strong odors and are known irritants. Naturally, household pests will shy away upon detecting those gases. Gather your onion waste and put it in a bowl. Place the bowl where you often see your much despised creepy-crawlies. Pretty soon, those insects will find other venues to terrorize, probably those without onion-based repellents.
4、驅除蚊蟲——洋蔥切開後散發的氣味，很強烈刺激。自然，家裏的害蟲一察覺到這種氣味，就會躲避開。收集你的洋蔥廢料，放進碗裏。把碗放到你常常看見討厭小爬蟲的地方。很快，那些小蟲子就會找其它地方撒野去了，可能是那些沒有洋蔥驅蟲劑的地方。
5. Wart Remover - Mix onion slices with crushed aspirin and a little water. Apply the solution to the wart. The onion’s chemical content and the aspirin’s active ingredients will gradually soothe the wart and make it subside. To maximize the solution’s effect, apply some to a piece of duct tape. Stick the tape on the wart. After several hours, the lesion will be nothing more than a distant memory.
5、去除肉瘤——把洋蔥片跟粉碎的阿司匹林和少量水混合。用這個溶液塗抹肉瘤。洋蔥的化學成分和阿司匹林的有效成分會逐漸緩解並消退肉瘤。爲了最大化此溶液的效力，可塗一些在膠帶上，貼到肉瘤上。幾小時後，損傷就會無影無蹤。
6. Metal Polish - Mix several crushed onion slices with some water. Apply the solution to a dull metal object using a piece of cloth. The results may not come as quickly as commercial polishers, but the onion-based polish is good enough to be a worthy substitute.
6、擦亮金屬——將一些壓碎的洋蔥片和水混合，用塊布蘸取溶液，擦拭暗淡的金屬物品。效果會跟買的拋光劑一樣快，但用洋蔥擦的就足夠好，可以成爲划算的替代品。
7. Acne Remover - Just like with burns and warts, an onion solution can be used to remove acne. The vegetable’s chemical components are harsh on zits, erasing them gradually upon application. Mix crushed onion slices with water and apply the mixture to your face. It is pretty effective, however it will probably do a number on your eyes. Just apply if the your eyes sting in the process.
7、去除粉刺——就像燒傷和肉瘤一樣，洋蔥溶液可以用來去除粉刺。這種蔬菜的化學成分對青春痘有剋制作用，使用後可逐漸消除。將粉碎的洋蔥片和水混合，用混合物抹臉。這很有效，不過可能會刺激一下你的眼睛。如果在過程中眼睛刺痛，也要堅持使用哦。
Onions are among the vegetables known for their medicinal properties. Having them around keeps you safe from many skin conditions. Make sure you buy extra-bulbs for its non-culinary uses.
洋蔥是衆多以藥用價值而著稱的蔬菜之一。有了它們，能讓你遠離很多皮膚狀況。下次一定要多買幾個，留作非烹飪的用途哦。
