There is many health benefits of lemons both internally & externally. I have mostly only used lemon in face masks, on food & in warm water some mornings.
I did not realize how many amazing benefits there is in one single citrus fruit! ( If you are allergic to lemons...don't try any of these...)
- Lemons can be used to lighten the hair over time. If you are trying to lighten your hair for the warmer months this should help over time. I have personally never felt the need to try this but I know people that have and it works well for them!
- Lemons make a good mouthwash, yes they have acid in them, but wouldn't you rather lemons that whitens, kills bacteria and leaves a fresh taste in your mouth rather than chemical filled mouthwashes filled with alcohol? hmm...
- They help prevent colds and soothes sore throats! It is good to gargle pure warm lemon juice if you have a sore throat.
- if you suffer from asthma it is good to drink lemon syrup everyday to help relieve it.
- Drinking warm lemon and honey helps colds, also drinking warm water with lemon and coconut oil is the best start to the day to cleanse the digestive system and the liver! Also a warm cup of water with lemon and a pinch of salt helps lower cholesterol.
- Lemons give the skin a great glow! so try a face mask or put some sliced lemon in your bath!
- If you notice the skin on your elbows or knees look a little dry or dark, try this, cut a lemon in half and rub on your elbows and knees and leave for about 5 minutes then hope in the shower! done if you do these every day or every few days you should see a difference.
These are just some things that I know about the benefits of lemons, try some of these and see how they work for you :)
