There’s a growing body of research highlighting the health benefits of onions. Studies have shown that onions contain compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-supporting properties, making them a great addition to a healthy diet.

In Yakuzen (based on traditional Chinese medicine), onions can promote the smooth flow of Qi, helping to relieve symptoms related to Qi stagnation and blood stagnation, such as bloating stomach, indigestion and upset stomach. They are especially effective when paired with Qi-replenishing foods like potatoes, chicken, or rice, making them a helpful ingredient for addressing Qi deficiency symptoms like fatigue, low appetite, or frequent colds.
