When my daughter was small we lived in a village in India. (Goa) Once she got a bad cold and my ayah, Carmeline, sliced a big white onion, put it on an inclined plate and gave my daughter the syrup that collected. I can't remember what that did for my child, but when I tried it for myself I passed a hell of a lot of thread worms the next morning.
What was cool was there was a Dutch lady living nearby and she told me that her grandmother used the same remedy for colds.
It was living there that made me a fan of homeopathy, too. There were loads of homeopaths because they were cheap. They didn't charge for the visit, just for the remedies. When a remedy worked, it worked gangbusters.
Hear, hear! Its effect is just to quietly remove the obstacles to cure. And the wonderful thing about homeopathy is that it works just as well on animals and even plants. With no need to hide it in food. The animals tell you loud and clear if you have the right remedy. It's universal.
PLS check my comment in "castor oil' post (important). My mum and grandma made the onion and honey cough syrup. I use to love it and at times would give myself an extra serving in secret. I still make myself when needed and share the recipe for this remedy with others.
Remedy I used for my son (and myself) for fevers: wet wool socks, with dry ones over top at night. Wake up in morning socks are dry and fever is done. My mom was a nurse, so I have no idea where I learned this, but not from her.
The 'magic socks' as I call them are a great remedy for fever, coughs and congestion. I used them all the time when my kids were sick. And now that they are adults, it is the first thing they go to when they start to feel sick.
"If you don’t cry when you cut the onion, O’Neill says, it’s probably been irradiated. The compounds that make you cry are the same ones that make the remedy work."
I thought I had developed a tolerance to onions. I cut them often and do not have tears or irritation. Only recently after a couple of tear filled chopping incidents did I realize that I do not get tears when wearing contact lenses, which is most of the time for me. But if I'm not wearing contacts, I am as bothered by onions as everyone else.
Good to know and good for me. But a bad way to judge the onions.
There is another old Australian woman who looks like european grandmother but apparently has ancestry to one aboriginal tribe. She has written an encyclopedia containing knowhow about what naturally occurring plants may be used for. Like healing wounds and such
Here is a remedy I wish to pass on so it doesn’t disappear. This was passed on to my mom by my Italian step grandmother. It is a remedy for a sprained ankle. Take the soft part of any bread, mix and mush it thoroughly with your saliva (if you are the injured party) and form it into a dressing. On to the side of this dressing that will be placed on the sprained ankle sprinkle a good amount of any salt (whole salt preferred). Place the dressing against the sprained ankle and bandage well. The sprained ankle will be normal the next morning. My step grandma made my mom do this 30 years ago, my mom thought it was stupid but she did it out of respect. The next morning her ankle was normal and she went to work. Likewise, last year I sprained my ankle and luckily my mom reminded me about this so I did it. The dressing was applied at 6pm and by 4 am when I went to the bathroom my ankle was normal. This remedy has since made it into my Family Compendium of Remedies, which shall be passed on to the younger generation. At this point everyone should be putting together their own family compendium of remedies. The onion remedies in this article will be added to my compendium. Thank you for this article.🙏
Modern medicine didn’t kill grandmother wisdom—it smothered it under white coats and prescription pads until we forgot we ever knew how to care for ourselves. Barbara O’Neill’s onion story is a quiet rebellion against that amnesia. Four rounds of antibiotics couldn’t fix what one steamed onion handled in hours, and that contrast says everything about the system we inherited. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a reminder that ancestral intelligence was erased, not disproven. The chain is ours to rebuild, one kitchen remedy at a time.
Raw onions are also a great treatment for bee/wasp stings. Placing a piece of onion on the site of the sting for atleast 20 minutes will draw out the bee venom and reduce swelling and inflammation.
Very good article. Loved it. However, the knowledge isn't gone. It may not be available from verbal interaction between people. But it is available through intuition, or vertical knowledge. Everyone has this, but is mostly dormant. Currently, this is changing.
NOW does it make more sense to people why Covid-19 was the lynch pin in a very old plan? Knowledge is power, when you kill the knowledge holders (your wise men/women, your elders), you break the chain to the next group of elders. Then you control the future. The "knowledge, facts" become whatever you say they are.😐🤫😉
Right now, starting in 2021/22, the WHO convened the 1st traditional medicines global conference. Joining reps from every traditional medical system, natural modalities, and therapeutics. Groups of people who had been fighting for legitimacy of practice and recognition, especially since their practice lineage was thousands, or hundreds of years old, with clinical data to confirm. But finally the barely a century old conventional medical system, recognised their traditional practice as real.😐🤔🤨🙄🤦♀️
That’s how I was raised. That is how I raised my children. As a physician, I add lymphatic massage.
Yep, lymph massage is crucial...
It helps the body move the fluids that are used to eliminate waste.
If only doctors knew lol.
Big 6 lymph massage.... And the channel has tons more great stuff.

Yep. Homoeopathy is the most elegant medical system and second only to light.
Non invasive, cost almost nothing to produce comparatively, and in non addictive, rarely any side effects, if any.🤗

This is a great post! Because of Barbara O'Neill's videos, my husband was able to get off of three prescriptions. She is a blessing!

My grandmother used a slice of raw potato inside a dry sock before bed.
Following morning, no fever but a cooked potato in your socks.
Have you read Vinegar Socks? It's a good book and has a lot of traditional remedies I haven't found elsewhere
onion (allium family) extract is also sometimes applied topically to help reduce scar tissue
Barbara O’Neil is great!

One question: with what we've learned about the harms of plastics, is it ok to cover the onion with plastic?

Isn't that just so convenient?
