The Basic Onion Jar Cure

• To try the basic onion jar cure for insomnia, simply slice up any kind of medium-sized onion, and put the slices in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Prior to bedtime, inhale the vapors in the jar for as long as comfortably possible. Re-cap the jar, and you should fall asleep within fifteen minutes. Keep this jar by your bed, so you can inhale the onion vapors as needed throughout the night if you wake up.
  
  

Modified Version of the Onion Cure for Insomnia

• For another version of the onion cure, dice a medium sized onion into very fine pieces. Boil one liter of water in a pan, remove from heat, and put the diced onion pieces into the boiling water. Let the mixture steep for about five minutes, until the water has cooled. Add five drops of honey to one teaspoon of the onion water, and drink this mixture. The onion water mixed with honey should help you fall asleep faster. You may store the onion water in the refrigerator for use the next few nights.
