Allium Cepa (Red Onion) is a homeopathic remedy for the treatment of colds, allergies and hay fever with sneezing, nasal discharge and excessive tearing often accompanied by laryngitis with raw sensation down into the chest.
Wide-ranging claims have been made for the effectiveness of onions against conditions ranging from the common cold to heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and other diseases. They contain chemical compounds believed to have anti-inflammatory, anticholesterol, anticancer and antioxidant properties such as quercetin. However, it has not been conclusively demonstrated that increased consumption of onions is directly linked to health benefits.
Onions may be especially beneficial for women, who are at increased risk for osteoporosis as they go through menopause, by destroying osteoclasts so that they do not break down bone.
An American chemist has stated that the pleiomeric chemicals in onions have the potential to alleviate or prevent sore throat.
