Lemon is Fresh and Cooling
Lemon is Fresh and Cooling
I suppose it’s one of our most important and versatile of all-natural medicines within the home. It refreshes the body inside and out, cleansing, cooling, and astringing.
As an acid fruit, it has an alkaline effect within the body once digested making it useful for rheumatic and arthritic conditions and all excess acid situations where ‘alkalizing’ helps.
It is a classic digestive herb, helping appetite and liver function with gentle detoxing The oil in the rind is not only anti-microbial but it will strengthen blood vessels and capillaries, so I suggest buying organic lemons when you see them and putting the rind into smoothies. We bought a box direct from Sicily during the lockdown and it really literally enlivened our time. We used the juice of course, but also the rind and finally the white pithy carcass went into smoothies. The taste of this is profound! But even the white pith (lumpy and papery membrane) of lemons holds much medical use. High levels of antioxidants ‘naringin’ which can stimulate the liver to burn more excess fat and reduce blood sugar. The list is endless. It will also help treat arteriosclerosis and weak veins etc.
Happy lemoning for late summer and winter health.
