​Onions are well known for causing us to cry, but they are also known for healing bodies and having numerous health benefits. Onions are rich in minerals, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and organic sulfur. For thousands of years, onions have been consumed and used to treat a variety of ailments such as illnesses and wounds. They are known for treating and preventing several types of cancers.
 
The vitamins found in onions include vitamin B1, B6, C and K. They have properties of calcium, biotin, dietary fiber, folic acid and chromium. The calories in onions are mostly complex carbohydrates, which are beneficial for the body. Alliinase is an enzyme found in onions and garlic and is what causes eyes to water when it is cut.

​Onions have flavonoids, which work as antioxidants in the body and have a cancer-fighting, tumor-reducing effect. The flavonoids also greatly enhance the immune system. Organic sulfur in onions is beneficial for the liver and is best when combined with proteins, which causes them to stimulate amino acids present in the nervous system and brain. The amino acids in onions are cysteine and methionine. They help rid the body of heavy metals.
 
These amino acids are able to detoxify the body of cadmium, lead and mercury. Vitamin C levels in onions also help the body detoxify and remove cadmium, arsenic and lead. Consuming onions on a regular basis is one of the most effective ways to rid the body of toxic metals. 
 
Onions are the richest source of quercitin, a powerful antioxidant flavonoid that is on and underneath the skin. Quercitin reduces cholesterol levels, increases good cholesterol, thins blood and prevents blood clots. It also fights infections, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, hay fever, and atherosclerosis and prevents stomach cancer from forming. 
 
Quercitin is an antibiotic that has anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting properties. It even acts as a sedative. Onion skins are currently the highest dietary source of quercitin. Just eating a single medium sized onion, either cooked or raw, a day is enough to receive its amazing health benefits.
 
Onions are known as cancer fighters because the antioxidants lower damage to the DNA that are brought on by free radicals. All varieties of onions and its relatives, such as leek, garlic and spring onions, have been found to prevent cancer growth through lab animal studies. The antibacterial properties in onions also eliminate pathogens such as salmonella and E. coli.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
