Introduction

Onions have been treasured for centuries—not just in kitchens, but also in traditional home remedies. One lesser-known practice is the careful use of onion juice as a natural support for eye freshness and comfort. While it may sound surprising (and yes, onions are famous for making us cry), this method is rooted in folk wisdom and curiosity rather than modern medical treatment. When prepared thoughtfully and used cautiously, onion juice is sometimes explored as a natural, short-term eye-care ritual worth learning about.

Ingredients

1 fresh organic onion (preferably red or white)

Clean drinking water (optional, for dilution)

Sterile cotton pad or dropper

Fine strainer or clean muslin cloth

Instructions

Peel the onion and rinse it thoroughly under clean water.

Chop the onion into small pieces.

Crush or blend the pieces to extract the juice.

Strain the liquid carefully to remove all pulp and solids.

(Optional) Dilute the juice with a few drops of clean water to reduce intensity.

Use immediately—freshness is key.

⚠️ Important: This preparation is for external, traditional use only. Never apply undiluted juice directly into the eyes.

Serving and Storage Tips

Always prepare onion juice fresh; do not store for later use.

If briefly stored, keep it in a clean, sealed glass container in the refrigerator for no longer than 12 hours.

Discard immediately if the smell changes or irritation occurs.

Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling.
