Indian onion is quite popular in folk medicine. It is used in different forms and helps fight various health problems.
The medicinal properties of Indian onions became known not so long ago. Previously, it was better known as a houseplant. In Siberia, it is called the Chinese onion, but none of the names speaks of the origin of the plant. In fact, its homeland is Africa.
The official name of the Indian onion is the tailed birdman. The plant belongs to the genus Poultryman, some of whose representatives are widely known in our area. A feature of the Indian onion is a very large bulb, which almost completely comes to the surface and in many ways resembles the most common onion. But in fact, this plant has nothing to do with the traditional onion, and you can’t eat it.
In cereals of official medicine, this plant has not yet been recognized, although folk healers have long and successfully practiced the use of Indian onions.
Beneficial features
The beneficial properties of Indian onions can be largely explained by its rich composition. It includes the substance colchicine, which in small doses is very beneficial for the body. Also in the composition there are a number of its derivatives, such as glycoside and thiocolchicine containing sulfur. It is thanks to the substances of alkaloids that Indian onions are beneficial to the body.
Biologically active components in the composition have a local anesthetic effect, so you can use the birdman in the fight against rheumatic and joint pains, with migraines, sprains, bruises. The juice of the plant helps fight inflammation, accelerates wound healing, which can largely be explained by its disinfectant properties.
The alkaloid colchicine is famous for its antitumor properties, that is, it can inhibit the growth of malignant neoplasms. However, its drawback, which makes medicine cautious about Indian onions, is a high level of toxicity. Therefore, the beneficial properties of Indian onions can be safely used for medicinal purposes, but you need to do it carefully, competently and moderately.
What heals?
There are many conditions in which the Indian onion can help. Here is some of them:
Contraindications and possible harm
Initially, it is worth noting that the internal use of Indian onions in self-medication can cause serious harm. There are drugs intended for oral administration, but they can be used only under the strict supervision of a specialist.
Yes, and for external use, products based on Indian onions are also not so safe. The substance colchicine in large doses can provoke leukopenia. The fact is that it is extremely easy to penetrate through the mucous membranes and skin. Therefore, the long-term use of Indian onion-based products is unacceptable. They need to be applied in courses and it is mandatory to take breaks between them.
When using Indian onion juice, be careful not to get it in your eyes. If this happens, you need to rinse the mucous membranes of the eyes with plenty of water and drip with an anti-inflammatory agent.
Indian onion is categorically contraindicated for those who suffer from hemophilia. There is also individual sensitivity in relation to the preparations of the drug. To avoid a negative reaction, test the reaction before using the product. To do this, a drop of the juice of a plant or preparation must be applied to the inside of the elbow and wait for a while. If inflammatory reactions are noticeable, the agent must be replaced with another one or its concentration reduced by diluting it with water.
In folk medicine, Indian onions are used in the form of tinctures and infusions, decoctions. Its juice, gruel are used, various ointments and balms can be prepared on its basis.

Also note that if you need a bulb, the plant will need to be killed.
When preparing preparations with a poultry doctor, do not use metal utensils and tools. When preparing infusions, remember one rule: the greater the concentration of alcohol, the less corcichin is extracted as a result, since this component is poorly soluble in alcohol. In view of this, alcohol tinctures are less toxic than water-based products. In folk medicine, the following recipes based on Indian onions are known:
- Indian onion porridge. Designed for compresses. The leaves of the plant are pounded in a plastic mortar.
