Description
Allium cepa, or common red onion, is universally cultivated as a garden vegetable, and it has been renowned for hundreds of years among country folk and herbalists for its healing properties. It has been used in a variety of ways: externally as a poultice for acne, chilblains and arthritis (to draw out inflammation), and internally as a blood purifier and to clear the intestines of worms. The juice has been sniffed up the nostrils, dropped into the ears or applied to 'blemished' skin; onion wine has been brewed for those with weak chests; and the whole onion has been roasted with honey or sugar for stubborn coughs.
The ancient Egyptians swore by the onion, and consumed vast quantities. They have even worshipped it. In it they saw symbolised the universe, since they believed the various spheres of heaven, earth and hell were concentric, like the onion's layers; and therefore Egyptian priests were forbidden to eat it.
For the homeopathic preparation the fresh bulb is gathered in July/August and chopped, then pounded to a pulp before it is mixed with alcohol and succussed.

Directions
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.
Many homeopathic physicians suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.
If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.
Take 3 pellets 3 times a day.

Cautions
In order to maintain the potency and freshness of these products, it is very important to store them properly. They need protection against light, high temperatures and humidity, and, after use, are best stored in a small kit or bag.
Avoid opening a tube or any other container of homeopathic medication in a room where perfumes or strong odors are present. And, needless to say, keep them away from any cigarette smoke.
Additional Information
Homeopathy is a medical system based on the belief that illness can be cured by taking a minute dose of a substance that, if taken by a healthy person, would produce symptoms like those being treated. Homeopathy employs a variety of plant, animal, and mineral substances in very small doses to stimulate the body's natural healing powers and to bring the body back into balance.
