FOOD OF GODS
The beautiful and eternally young goddess Artemis is about to go hunting in the early morning. In the evening before her adventure, she, as always, prepares her secret drink of youth and beauty. She is famous at the Olympus with her unfeminine and vigorous character and determination. These qualities of her are surprisingly combined with her fragility, grace and youth. The inhabitants of Olympus drink a potion called "ambrosia" made from flower honey and fruit juice. This is the pledge of the eternal life of the gods, but what is the difference between the divine drink of Artemis? The goddess prepares it in the strictest secrecy. Only her devoted nymphs know this recipe. She takes one yellow apple, three golden apricots, five ripe grapes, cuts the fruit, crushes them with a mortar and squeezes out the juice. She adds two drops of wormwood tincture and seven drops of a strange-smelling liquid. This recipe was kept in the strictest confidence until one of the nymphs blabbed it out to all mortals. The secret ingredient in a rejuvenating drink was onion juice. This plant helps Artemis to look slender and beautiful, to be fast and to protect her on the hunt.
At all times onion was considered to be the food of commoners and peasants. Well, few people know that it was never neglected by kings, emperors and even gods. As ancient myths say, onions are a real gift from heaven, a message to people. It was given to people in order to survive in difficult times. One day the gods gathered and consulted among themselves: to give people a universal unique remedy for all sickness: onion. Onions are the remedy against 100 diseases. This amazing plant has repeatedly saved entire nations from deadly diseases. Onion treatments were mentioned by historians of all times. This plant is very unpretentious and it grows everywhere. So that people of different nationalities could use onions, some gods decided to help people and poured out small black grains in certain areas. From them the wild onion was born. Then people began to cultivate it, select the best plants and spread the plant over to different continents.
In ancient times, this vegetable was considered to be a coded messenger of the gods. The priests and the alchemists thought that the cross section of the onion contained information about the origins of the world and the unity of two opposite principles of the universe: the world's duality. The classical structure of the onion bulb is rounded and the scales are similar to the ancient symbol of Yin and Yang. Indeed it is useful for both women and men as an aphrodisiac and for general health. Onions are the number one vegetable: concentric onion rings symbolize the infinity of the universe. The ancient Egyptians believed that the rings contained information about eternal life, birth, death and rebirth. In the country, the builders of the pyramids believed that the gods hid information about the structure of the cosmos in the onion bulb. Babylonians Sumerians and Assyrians had the same opinion. Ancient astrologers cut the onion and saw that it consists of concentric rings. It turns out that these rings were similar to our universe structure and to the structure of our solar system. Therefore, they made their conclusions based on the structure of the bulb theory.
Onion is a vegetable that helped Pharaohs gain their eternal life. The pharaohs ate onions during their lifetime, and then the bulb accompanied them after physical death. Onions were used in funeral rites and were placed in tombs. The vegetable was used as a mummifying potion: it was placed on eyes and mouth, onion sprouts were placed on the chest and applied to legs. Such cases were recorded during excavations.
Onion helps to gain objectivity, overcome passions. This scientific discovery is on the verge of fantasy! Onions help to cope with food cravings, especially when switching to a vegetarian diet. Truly fruits and vegetables are the manifestations of divine qualities on the material plane. Every fruit and vegetable is a coded message to people from Gods. But how can we read this message? It is interesting that over the years science only confirms what ancient people knew and took as a rule for many years. Our ancestors knew that fruits and vegetables planted by our own hands are growing for us and just for us: they give the person who plants them vivacity and strength. It is a real magic how the plants know it!
Julius Caesar was indebted to onion. It was his secret weapon. Caesar began to go bald early and onion gruel helped him with this problem.
In the notes of the royal cook of Catherine II, there was rather curious information preserved: the empress was rarely interested in the affairs of the kitchen, but in summer and autumn she would often supervise the preparation of the special salad. Following the orders of the empress the salad included lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and green leaves, but the empress watched especially closely how to chop onions. It had to be cut into exceptionally thin rings, scalded with boiling water, and only then put in the salad. Sometimes the empress chose the onion bulbs for the salad herself. The cook managed to find out that the empress was particularly reverent about that onion. It was grown by special technology. It was charged with beauty and success. These magic onions were grown for the empress and her entourage in a special garden. The onion was planted only by unmarried women in complete silence on Saturday mornings. They were supposed to plant onions and happily kiss young men. The onion then turned out to be of magical power, and the couples were supposed to walk around the onion patches three times and make a wish. When such onions ripened, they dug the bulbs out and served them to the highest persons. Such onions were put on the table during important international negotiations. All the negotiations taking place at such a table were peaceful and fruitful. Russia flourished during the reign of Catherine II.
What properties of onions did the peasants know about? They used it to get a rich harvest. The plowman who had to plow the fields, used to cut the onion into two parts. He ate one half and threw the other half into the ground to grow. Fishermen also appreciated this vegetable; before going fishing to the open sea (so that the catch was rich), they girdled themselves with knitted onions. Magicians and sorcerers of all times revered onion for its special memory. Consider that onion absorbs negativity. Supposedly evil energy is drawn into the bulb and into onion rings as if into a funnel and that energy has no way out. Onions restore the bio-field of a particularly tired person very well. If you come home from work tired, take an onion and roll it on your shoulders, hands, body, legs and your back. Your energy will be restored in 10-15 minutes.
In Russia, onions were a favorite means of healing. People treated scurvy, they could not do without it in case of an epidemic too. Few people thought why onions are so useful?

In Japan, for example, there is a clinic that treats patients only with garlic and onions.
