Anyone ever heard of these being used on the skin for any sort of purpose?

RAW GARLIC & ONIONS KEEP ME SMELLIN GREAT!

only thing I can think of would be to add additional pain to the area. If the skin was welted/bruised, and the juice from the onion got in there, it could cause more suffering..

I dunno.. makes sense to me.. Not the act of doing it, just MY logic.

you asked and I shall answer.Onion juice has the ability to increase vision and relieve ear-ache. For increased vision, mix juice with bee’s honey and apply on eye-lids. For ear-ache, put a few drops of hot onion juice on ear or cut a red onion in half and plug affected organ

Onion helps colour the hair and foster hair growth. It has been recommended in old Ayurveda texts for obesity — fat people were advised to eat raw onions.

Fernando explains that onions give the best results when eaten raw because cooking partially destroys active properties contained in a highly volatile oil. "Their raw juice is an irritant, but onions should be eaten raw as often as possible, in salads or added (chopped finely) to soups and vegetables," she recommends, adding that drinking a cup of mild after rinsing the mouth well with cold water helps rid the breath of onion smell.

For general health, Fernando has two preparations: Take four medium size onions, sliced. Pour one cup of hot water, leave to macerate for two or three hours. Strain and drink two or three times a day, before meals. Secondly, grate one or two onions as finely as possible. Mix together with a spoonful of bee’s honey, and take two to three times a day. In the West, she says, the same preparation is taken with a glass of wine.

For anaemia, exhaustion, bronchial complaints, flatulence, dropsy, urinary infections, arthritis, rheumatism, diabetes and gravel retention in urine: Macerate 100 grams of finely-chopped onions in a litre of pure coconut arrack for 48 hours; press and strain through a fine cloth and drink two tablespoons in the mornings on an empty stomach for eight or ten consecutive days, preferably when the moon is on the wane or at the time of the new moon. This also lowers blood sugar levels.

Fernando continues that onions are a useful remedy for coughs and bronchitis. Cut three to six onions, put into a pint of water, boil for five to ten minutes, strain and sweeten with honey. Drink five to six times a day, three tablespoons at a time.

They can also be prepared as a cough syrup: Boil quarter pound of chopped onions in half a bottle of water for five to ten minutes, strain, add 10 tablespoons of sugar and boil gently until it is of a thick syrup consistency. Dose: two to six tablespoons a day.

Fernando prescribes eating onions baked in hot ashes and mixed with ghee or butter for hoarseness in the throat. For those inflicted with bleeding or non-bleeding haemorrhoids,
As an aphrodisiac: Steam a few onions, squeeze and extract the juice (half-a-cup), add two tablespoons of ghee. Drink daily on an empty stomach.



Eating raw red onions with your dinner induces sound sleep. Meanwhile, a crushed onion held to the nose has the same effect as smelling salts during a fainting fit.

To remove freckles, apply crushed onions in vinegar daily on the face. This is specially effective in fangi skin or aluhan.

For ear-ache or buzzing in the ear, heat the onion juice and put few drops in ear. This juice can also soothe an acute toothache.

Fernando says that onions baked in hot ashes or in an oven and reduced to an ointment, mixed with ghee and applied very hot on abscesses helps to bring abscesses or boils to a head more quickly and relieve the pain.

Onions for an effective antidote for bee stings and as an aid for serpent bites, she describes. Crush the onions and rub briskly on affected spot.

One home remedy for asthma: Give a solution of onion juice with one tablespoon of honey and 1/8 tablespoon of black pepper.






As a home remedy for boils, apply hot paste of onion. For scars (such as those left behind after chicken pox or as a result of wounds) apply juice or paste. It can also be massaged into the skin.

For haemorrhoids and passing of blood with urine, crush together red onion and kohila, extract juice and administer.

For bleeding nose, eat red onion with salads or inhale fumes of onion during bleeding. The flow stops almost instantly.

For disurea, eat onion curry or in raw form.
