Cepa (Allium)

Common Onion. Liliaceoe.

In use as a medicine since time immemorial. Among the Egyptians it was hung up in noxious corners, carried about with one, taken for the consequences of bad water, used for the sting of insects, animal poisons, even the bite of the mad dog; it was applied as an irritant and to mature abscesses, even carbuncles; then it was used for frozen feet, by Dioscorides, who states that it is " efficacious when feet are rubbed sore," a symptom confirmed by the provings and verified in our practice. Then it was also used as a remedy for promoting the growth of hair and hoofs, as also for destroying warts and corns; it was given for the sequelae of " white and black measles in the body." Dioscorides gave it for podagra. It was considered an eye-remedy and an ear-remedy, serviceable in angina and for loosening mucus if it rattled in the throat and bronchia of children and old people. It was given against flatulence and to promote the catamenia as well as the flow of urine. Dioscorides, and physicians following him, among the Arabians, had a glimpse of the truth of similia, for they used the onion to cure the symptoms they knew it was capable of producing ; but with Galen all reasonable investigation ceased.

It is mentioned in the Old Testament under the name Bejel, which the Hebrews craved, as in our time, coffee and tobacco are craved.

Homer mentions it in Iliad XI, 629, and in Odyssey XIX, 233.
