Tincture of Indian onion with alcohol

Put the crushed leaves in a jar, tamp them more tightly, and pour in the alcohol. There are a couple of nuances here. Traditional healers make a tincture in a ratio of 1:10.

Contraindications for use

I am sure that each of us takes care of our health and remembers the well-known postulate: “Do no harm”. With all the advantages and medicinal qualities, onions have serious contraindications for use. As I wrote at the beginning of the article, the juice of the onion and leaves contains a poisonous substance. Therefore, herbalists use it only externally. The golden mustache, which I wrote about, has similar healing properties and uses.

  • When using products with an Indian plant for the first time, carefully monitor your condition - the plant can cause an allergic reaction.
