Are we eating right fruits ? I dont think so. Here are few health benefits of lemon. a) Lemon can give you clean complexion.Add the juice of half a lemon to the early morning tumbler of hot or cold water. b) Lemon juice is an excellent treatment for dandruff and greasy hair. c) Lemon is rich with vitamin C. There is little sodium, so the fruit is good as a flavoring for those on a low salt diet. d) Have sore feet? Try soaking them in warm water and rub them further with freshly squeezed lemon juice. While hot water opens pores, lemon juice provides a cooling and astringent effect. Apart from foot relaxation, this method is also believed to induce sound sleep as it has a relaxing effect on your foot nerves. e) Lemons can be rubbed directly onto skin and left for about 2 hours before rinsing. This is good to reduce wrinkles and treat blemishes. The treatment will work better if followed by olive oil after rinsing. It works by speeding up skin renewal and uncovering a fresh new layer of skin. However, it is important not to do this before going out in the sun as it will have a bleaching effect. f) The skin of lemon dried under the sun and then ground to make powder can be applied to the hair for a few minutes before bath which relieves head ache and cools the body. g) Lemon has been used for many years in gout and rheumatism. Lemon-juice is a diuretic. It, therefore, gives relief in kidney and bladder disorders. It has been used in destroying intestinal worms. It prevents vomiting and helps to cure hepatitis and other innumerable diseases. h) The most valuable ingredient of lemon, next to vitamin C, is citric acid, of which it contains 7.2 per cent. Lemon contains more potassium than apple or grapes, which is beneficial to the heart. Tell me how you liked it!
We can do both. Dont you kow most of fruits we eat can used for face, skin, hair care. For example: We used coconut oil for foods. Also we can use coconut oil to enrich our hair.:box:
yea i like lemon too, another point i hear is whitening (like leaving on face for like 5-10min). but im not to to sure about the 2hr of the lemon on face, won't that sting? =(
ok i don't know about the rest but this one is definitely a no no!! :nono: the pH level for lemon juice is about 1.8 to 2.3 and that's WAY too acidic for our skin... we should try keep our skin's pH around 5.5 if u wanna use lemon on ur skin make sure u dilute it with something first...!!
