Boil onion peels for 10-15 minutes to make a warm infusion that can one can drink to ward off muscle pain and bring on sound, deep sleep.
Onion peels can act as a natural hair dye which give your hair brownish, purple hues. Boil onion peels in water for about an hour, let them cool and pour them over your hair.
Water infused with onion peels has anti-fungal properties which can be used to treat rashes and itchy skin. Pour this onion peel infused water over the affected area and let it work its magic.
Ground the peels using a mortar and pestle and add them to a chapati or paratha. The nutrients will seep into the rotis and give them a slightly onion kulcha-like flavour.
