Lemons have been proved to be one of the fruits with numerous health benefits including healing and preventing a number of diseases and health conditions.
Here are some of the health conditions that can be improved by lemons.
1. Cold and flu
Any time you suffer cold and flu especially during cold seasons, do not rush to the chemists to pick artificial drugs. Instead, grab a full lemon, squeeze the juice into half a glass of hot water and drink it. It's a natural cure for these two conditions that often come simultaneously.
2. Acnes
Acnes are painful bumps that appear on the skin especially on the facial area. You can cure this by rubbing a juiced lemon on the affected areas. Although this does not work immediately, you start noticing results after about a week.
3. Warts
Warts are fleshy slightly painful bumps that can appear anywhere on the skin but are most common in mucous membranes and in the genitals. They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Drink pure lemon juice (half a lemon) twice a day or apply a drop of lemon oil on the affected area and cover it. For best results, do this daily for about two weeks.
4. Mouth ulcers
Mouth ulcers affect a number of people. This condition can restrict one from eating some types of foods because of the pain one experiences when food comes into contact with the affected areas. Lemon juice is a good remedy for this. Although it will irritate these ulcers, the end result will amaze you. You can apply lemon juice on the affected areas several times a day.
