Allium Cepa

The homeopathic Allium cepa, also called wild onion, has been used for millennia by many cultures as a remedy for their respiratory, gastrointestinal, and immune system complaints. The genus Allium includes approximately 300 to 400 species of plants and herbs, including onion and garlic. Allium cepa is one of the more common wild plants found in Europe today. The plant grows in moist areas such as meadows and grassy fields throughout Europe, Asia, North America, and parts of Africa. It is considered both a culinary ingredient in soups or salads or made into extracts that are used for cooking or preserving meat dishes.

This article discusses how A. cepa can be used to treat respiratory ailments, bacterial infections, skin disorders, cancer, and fungal infections. The genus Allium has been used for centuries by many civilizations in traditional herbal remedies. Sages of both the Old World and the New World have placed A. cepa into various medicinal preparations that are used for a wide variety of ailments. Medicinal use of A. cepa includes its use to treat fever, coughs and colds, tuberculosis, malaria, inflammation of the lungs, and bronchitis. It is also widely used throughout Asia to help stimulate appetite in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

The ancient Greeks and Romans used A. cepa as an insect repellant, as a preservative for wine, and as a cleansing agent for the skin and the teeth. A. cepa was also reported to have been used in ancient Rome to alleviate symptoms of indigestion and flatulence due to its ability to increase stomach acid production, which aids in digestion. It was also widely used throughout Asia as a remedy for fever, coughs, toothaches, and other maladies. A Chinese herbal manual from the 10th century reported that boiled A. cepa seeds were used for skin blemishes and wounds, as well as dysentery. In medieval Europe, the herb was used to soothe and calm the stomach and intestines and as a remedy for diseases caused by worms.

Allium Cepa

Based on traditional uses of A. cepa in herbal medicine, it would seem logical that this plant should be considered a “true” medicinal herb because of its ability to fight disease-causing bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, and tuberculosis. However, concerns have been raised about the safety of using A. cepa to treat common ailments because of its possible interaction with drugs. The Allium family (A. cepa, A. scoparium, A. wuetheliae and others) contains a number of compounds that contain sulfoxides that can cause drug interactions when taken together with commonly used drugs such as the antibiotics rifampin, maytansinoids, and allopurinol. In addition, the sulfoxide content in A. cepa has been demonstrated to induce a hyperactive state of the neurotransmitter GABA in rats and mice when administered chronically at high doses.

The use of A. cepa to treat asthma has been reviewed in many publications, with many citing its ability to reduce the effects of allergen exposure. The use of A. cepa in asthma has been studied at the University of Southern California (USC) School of Pharmacy under the direction of Asthmatologist Edward Rauh, M.D., Ph.D., who noted that taking 1-3 capsules three times daily reduced the effects of petrochemical exposure on asthmatic patients. As a natural remedy to asthma, it may provide relief without the side effects associated with other drugs and prescription drugs currently used for the disease.

It is believed that wild onions stimulate the immune system by increasing the number of B cells, which produce antibodies to fight infections. Wild Onion is useful when combined with Echinacea to treat sinusitis and/or bronchitis. It may also be beneficial in preventing or treating the common cold. The primary chemical component of wild onions is a sulfur compound known as Alliin.

The bulb of the plant is made into a tea that is popular in China for its medicinal properties. The use of the herb in Chinese medicine dates back to at least the 4th century BC. In the West, however, Allium cepa (common onion) has only recently become more widely used as an herbal remedy.

The first time I drank this tea was at the Natural Food Co-op, a healthy and environmentally responsible grocery store located in the San Francisco Bay area. This was back in late 1990 when I first became aware of the herbs as a way to help treat my migraines. As a side note, I can now say that eating the raw garlic bulb before going to bed has greatly reduced the number of my monthly migraines, but I’m still not completely over the pain. It’s amazing how much better my diet can be if I am able to incorporate certain herbs into my lifestyle.

As u can read above, this herb has a lot of potentials. It would be extremely wise to continue researching the many wonderful benefits of this herb. A. cepa is still under study and I would love to hear from anyone who has tried this remedy for respiratory ailments. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this herbal remedy. Allium cepa is also useful for fighting cancer, especially prostate cancer.
