Lemons are a true gift of nature. Their healing effects are almost limitless, which is why you should always keep them on hand at home.
In some situations they can literally be life-saving. In addition, they smell good and can fill a room with positive energy.
Their scent can even improve your mood. It is known that in the past they were often used to treat people who suffered from mood swings or depression.
Lemons and their effect on the home
If you want your home to smell pleasant, cut a few lemons as shown in the introductory picture, place them in bowls, spread them around the bedroom and leave them overnight.
The next day you’ll notice how clean and fresh your home smells.
They are a much better choice than commercially sold air fresheners because unlike those, they do not contain any toxic substances.
Once you try them, you’ll never buy toxic sprays or plug-in fragrance devices again.
Additionally, if you suffer from asthma, allergies or just have a cold, lemons will help you breathe more easily. Not only will your breathing improve, but you’ll also feel overall fresher and more rejuvenated.
Lemons and beauty
Besides their effect on freshening the air and improving breathing, lemons have many other uses, for example in cosmetics.
You can use them, for example, to cleanse the skin, treat acne or dark spots on the skin. Just cut a lemon in half and rub it on the affected areas.
Lemon will soften and lighten dark or thickened areas and make your skin more radiant. It can also lighten nails, freshen breath and remove itching of the feet.
If you happen to be sensitive to lemon, instead of applying it directly you can first squeeze out the juice, dilute it with water and only then apply it to the skin.
Lemons and health
Lemon juice is an excellent natural remedy for a number of health problems.
You can use it, for example, to treat:
- arthritis
- rheumatism
- indigestion
- kidney stones
If you drink lemon juice diluted with water every morning, you will effectively rid your body of accumulated toxins.
In the past, lemons were even used to treat malaria and cholera because of their ability to purify the blood.
Of all citrus fruits, lemons are probably the most useful. They are full of substances such as vitamin C, pectin, antioxidants, B vitamins, calcium and potassium.
They can effectively strengthen your immune system, prevent infections and treat many other illnesses.
