Onion for Hair Growth!

Yea ok I know onions get a bad rap.  They are the heartbreakers of all the fruits and vegetables known to make the toughest women and the strongest men cry with ease.  Oh and don't forget their pungent smell.  If someone says you smell like onions, I'm here to tell you it's not a compliment! Lol But nonetheless onions are one of my favorite veggies.  Not only for the amazing flavor they bring to so many dishes but also for their medicinal properties.  I am not a big fan of vitamins which I may have mentioned in a past blog so I prefer to get my needed nutrients from food.  In my open vitamins are considered foreign to the body and are mostly discarded in our waste.  There is nothing like the real thing.  But if you are a believer in vitamins make sure you are always taking them along with vitamin C or ascorbic acid this will help them to be absorbed by the body as much as possible which is still at most only about 20%.  Ok so back to onions, onions are highly potent in sulfur so when consumed ( especially raw) do wonders for the stomach and digestive tract.  But my favorite use for onions is as a hair treatment.  The sulfur in onion is amazing in waking up dead and under stimulated hair follicles resulting in hair growth.  So if you are experiencing thinning or balding do to tension, stress, or lord knows why this would be a great treatment to try.  To make my onion treatment I use 3 ingredients or sometimes even 1 it's up to you depending on the severity of your hair loss.  The supercharged treatment contains the juice from one white or yellow onion.  I prefer to use the juicer or a blender and strain out the pulp we only want the juice.  To protect your self from tearing up while making this treatment, peel your onion, cut off both ends, and then rinse it in cold water.  This will stop you from getting too emotional during the preparation.  So after you have your juice you can either add it to a squeeze or small spray bottle and spray it on the affected area twice a day.  Or you can add 1 table spoon of onion juice to 2 teaspoons of castor oil and add in a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.  Mix well massage into affected area at night before bed.  CAUTION!!! Be very careful not to get any of this mixture or the onion juice by itself into your eyes!!!  Try this method regularly for the best results!  Make these treatments in small batches and store them in the fridge in an air tight container.  It should last about a week in the fridge. Try it! Live, Learn, Love!!
