Allium Cepa – Also known as red onion, Allium Cepa is cultivated worldwide and used in folk medicine for hundreds of years. Allium Cepa has been applied to the skin in poultices for acne, arthritis and congestion as well as internally to clear worms in the intestines, earaches, hemorrhoids and high blood pressure. Homeopaths use Allium Cepa for the same conditions that are brought on by exposure to red onions – watery eyes and a burning, runny nose. Allium cepa is prescribed for such ailments as colds with congestion, coughs, hay fever, neuralgic pains and earaches.NOTE: These descriptions are provided for information purposes only.
