Lemon is one of the most indispensable fruit in our home, it is one of the most popular citrus fruit in the world. We use lemons in many recipes and we also love the taste of lemonade. In this article, we will look into some of the unknown benefits and remedies for which lemon is most commonly used.
Upon Waking Up
Squeeze a lemon into a liter of warm water and drink this the first thing in the morning. It will keep your skin healthy and help flush toxins from the bowel and cleanse your stomach. Helps sets your gut up for the day. Your skin will thank you and your eyes will be clear. If you have sensitive teeth and are concerned about the enamel of your teeth, use a straw to drink. This practice will help to alkalize your body.
As an Astringent
Lemon will act as an astringent for your skin, it will cleanse and exfoliate dead skin. It can sting, so water it down to your needs.

Use lemon extract to give your hair a beautiful final rinse for your scalp and hair after shampooing. Lovely on blonde hair.
For Salad Dressing
You can replace vinegar with a mixture of lemon extract and olive oil. Your salad will taste much better and it will remain fresh.
For Cough and Cold
If you have initial signs of a cough and cold, make a mixture of lemon, garlic, and honey. We recommend manuka honey as it is rich in vitamins and has amazing healing properties. Chop garlic, add the juice of a whole lemon (you can add skin if you want) honey and hot water. Pour into a glass jar and let it sit. You can sip this as often as you need or drink the mixture hot.
