Introduction
Under normal circumstances, crown daisy and onion can be eaten together, but moderation is advised. The pungent flavor of onions combined with the refreshing aroma of crown daisy can create various delicious dishes, such as stir-fried crown daisy with onion or mixed crown daisy with onion. The dietary fiber in crown daisy and the sulfides in onions both help promote intestinal motility and improve digestive function.

Generally speaking, crown daisy (Chrysanthemum coronarium) and onion can be consumed together, but moderation is advised. Detailed explanations are as follows:

Crown daisy is rich in nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium, and dietary fiber. It helps protect vision, maintain the integrity of epithelial tissues, enhance immune function, promote collagen synthesis, and assist the body in resisting damage from free radicals. Onion is rich in prostaglandin A, quercetin, sulfides, and dietary fiber, which can help dilate blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity, lower blood pressure, prevent thrombosis, and possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory properties as well as immune-enhancing effects.

The pungent flavor of onion, when combined with the refreshing aroma of crown daisy, can be used to prepare various delicious dishes, such as stir-fried crown daisy with onion or cold-mixed crown daisy with onion. The dietary fiber in crown daisy and the sulfides in onions both help promote intestinal motility and improve digestive function. However, moderation is important, as excessive consumption may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Onions are relatively rich in vitamin K, which may affect the efficacy of certain medications. Therefore, excessive onion consumption should be avoided during medication to prevent interference with drug effectiveness. In daily diets, emphasis should be placed on diversity and balanced intake of food ingredients, avoiding excessive consumption of any single food item, which contributes to maintaining overall health.

If the scar is in the hypertrophic phase (e.g., formed less than 3 months ago, accompanied by redness, swelling, itching, or raised tissue), or if the patient is sensitive to onions or garlic, excessive consumption may indirectly worsen discomfort.

Can I eat cooked onions after getting double eyelid surgery?
In general, after double eyelid surgery, it is advisable to temporarily avoid consuming cooked scallions. Although the pungent components of scallions are reduced after heating, their volatile oils and sulfides remain irritating and may induce local capillary dilation, increase the risk of exudation, and thereby delay epithelialization of the incision site. Clinically, it is routinely recommended to follow a mild, low-salt, and low-pigment diet within the first two weeks postoperatively.
