(from the source):"The Daily Telegraph reported that the recipe, which dates from the 10th century, calls for two species of Allium
-- a scientific type that includes garlic, onion, and leek -- as well as wine and oxgall, or bile from the stomach of a cow." Cheap , but with cow bile makes it offal !

Babylonians used onion for eye treatments 3000 years ago.

I have an old 150 year old book that says to clear out your nose you sniff SALT water.
