Lemons (limone)

Dvignite roke vsi ki obožujete limone? Jaz držim v zrak obe saj jih obožujem :) Moja najljubša pijača je ravno limonada. Ne maram sladkih sokov zato vedno pijem limonado, vodo ali čaje. Limona je res vsestranski citrus. Zato sem se letos odločila, da si kupim svoj prvi limonovec. Cenovno je bil kar zalogaj tako da upam, da mi bo uspela tako kot je treba. Na njem je že ena zelo velika limona tako, da upam, da bodo tudi ostale takšne.

LIMONOVEC

Limone rastejo na drevesu limonovec le-ta pa zraste od 3 do 6 metrov. Mladi poganjki in cvetni lističi so vijolični. Plod je rumene barve in ovalne, lahko tudi okrogle oblike. Olupek sadeža je lahko gladek ali hrapav. V notranjosti ima limona belo plast, ki se imenuje albedo in ni užitna. V ugodnih podnebnih razmerah limona obrodi 2x letno: spomladi in poleti. Pri limoni se ne uporablja samo limonin sok ampak tudi limonina lupina za izdelovanje kandiranega sadja.

100g limone vsebuje:

- 35-56 kcal

- 151-235 kJ

- 84-90g vode

- 0,6g maščobe

- 149mg kalija

- 11mg kalcija

- 28mg magnezija in

- 51mg vitamina C

Limona je res vsestranski sadež, ki se ga lahko uporabi na različne načine. Na internetu sem našla 45 načinov za uporabo in dobro je, da si jih vsak pogleda. Uporabne so v kulinariki, za čiščenje, v zdravstvu in še in še.

1. Osveži hladilnik

Z lahkoto odstranite vonjave v hladilniku. Limonin sok nakapajte na kos vate ali gobo in jo nekaj ur pustite v hladilniku. Pazite, da odstranite vse neprijetno dišeče stvari, ki lahko povzročajo neprijeten vonj.

2. Visok krvni pritisk

Limona vsebuje kalij, ki nadzira visok krvni pritisk ter manjša učinek slabosti in omotičnosti.

3. Preprečuje, da bi cvetača postala rjava

Že pri krajšem kuhanju cvetača porjavi. Bela zelenjava bo tudi ostala bela, če nanjo pred gretjem polijete eno čajno žličko svežega limoninega soka.

4. Duševno zdravje

 Limonina voda lahko tudi dvigne vaše razpoloženje ter lajša depresijo in stres. Tisti, ki hodijo na dolge ture, kot tudi popotniki, limono častijo kot božje darilo. Ko postanete utrujeni, skozi luknjo na vrhu posesajte limonin sok. To je hitro delujoče zdravilo in zagotavlja skoraj neverjetno osvežitev.

5. Osveži deske za rezanje

Ni čudno, da kuhinjska deska za rezanje oddaja vonjave! Konec koncev jo uporabljate za sekljanje čebule, drobljenje in sekljanje česna in pripravo rib. Da se znebite vonja in razkužite desko za rezanje, po celi površini drgnite s polovico limone, kjer je odrezana ali pa jo operite z nerazredčenim sokom naravnost iz steklenice.

6. Težave z dihanjem

Limona lahko topi sluz, lahko vam tudi pomaga normalno dihati in pomaga osebam z astmo.

7. Zdravi artritis in revmatizem

Limona je diuretik (sredstvo za pospešitev izločanja seča), ki pomaga pri nastajanju urina, s čimer blaži vnetje, saj se tako spirajo strupi in bakterije, poleg tega pa lajša artritis in revmatizem.

8. Preprečuje ledvične kamne

Redno uživanje limoninega soka, zmešanega z vodo, lahko poveča nastajanje urinarnega citrata, kemične snovi v urinu, ki preprečuje nastajanje kristalov, iz katerih lahko nastanejo ledvični kamni.

9. Kuhinja brez insektov

Da kuhinjo obvarujete pred mravljami, ne potrebujete več pesticidov ali pasti za mravlje. Pripravite jim le eno terapijo z limono. Nekaj limoninega soka najprej nakapajte na pragove vrat in na okenske police. Nato limonin sok stisnite v luknje ali razpoke, kjer mravlje hodijo v prostor. Na koncu pa razmečite male koščke limonine lupine okoli zunanjih vrat. Mravlje tako dobijo znak, da niso dobrodošle. Limone so učinkovite tudi proti ščurkom in bolham: Preprosto zmešajte sok štirih limon (skupaj z lupino) z dvema litroma vode ter s tem očistite tla. Nato pa glejte, kako bolhe in ščurki bežijo. Ta vonj sovražijo.

10. Proti staranju (brez Q10)

Limonina voda zmanjšuje tvorjenje prostih radikalov, ki povzročajo staranje kože in poškodbe na koži. Limonina voda je brez kalorij in je antioksidant.

11. Za umivanje sadja in zelenjave

Nikoli ne veste, kakšni pesticidi ali umazanija so na vašem najljubšem sadju in zelenjavi. Prerežite limono, stisnite eno žlico limoninega soka v vaš razpršilnik. Limonin sok je naravno sredstvo za dezinficiranje. Tako vaše sadje in zelenjava tudi lepo dišita.

12. Odpravi infekcije

Voda z limono lahko kljubuje okužbam grla, saj je antibakterijska. Če s slano vodo ni bilo uspeha, poskusite še z grgranjem vode z limono.

13. Odišavi smeti

Če vaši odpadki začenjajo oddajati neprijetne vonjave, je tukaj preprost način, kako jih odišaviti: Spravite ostanke lupin limon in pomaranč ter jih razporedite po pod vrečko. Za ohranitev svežega vonja postopek na nekaj tednov ponovite.

14. Guacamole ohrani zelen

Za zabavo ste cel dan pripravljali guacamole in ne želite, da pred prihodom gostov postane rjav. Rešitev: Zmerno količino svežega limoninega soka nakapljajte čezenj, s čimer bo ostal bo svež in zelen. Okus limoninega soka je naravno dopolnilo avokadom v omaki guacamole. Tudi sadno solato lahko pripravite več ur vnaprej. Na rezine jabolk le nakapljajte nekaj limoninega soka in ostale bodo snežno bele.

15. Čisti kri

Zaužijemo veliko neprimerne hrane ali hrane, polne konzervansov in umetnih sladil. To v krvi in telesu pušča veliko strupov, vendar vsakodnevno uživanje vode z limono pomaga očistiti kri.

16. Uvelo zeleno solato spremeni v hrustljavo

Uvele zelene solate nikar ne vrzite v smeti. S pomočjo limoninega soka jo lahko dodate v skledo s solato. V posodo s hladno vodo dodajte sok polovice limone. Uvelo zeleno solato dajte v pripravljeno vodo z limono in za eno uro v hladilnik. Preden liste daste v solate ali sendviče, jih popolnoma posušite.

17. Ustno zdravje

Limonin sok ustavi tudi krvavenje dlesni in blaži zobobole.

18. Posvetli starostne pege

Zakaj bi kupovali drage kreme, ko pa imate limonin sok? Za posvetlitev starostnih peg ali peg poskusite z nanosom limoninega soka neposredno nanje. Pustite stati 15 minut in nato dobro sperite. To je varno in učinkovito sredstvo za posvetlitev kože.

19. Naredi svetle pramene

Za posvetlitve, kakršne vam naredijo v salonih, dodajte 1/4 skodelice limoninega soka v 3/4 skodelice vode in s to mešanico sperite lase. Nato sedite na soncu, dokler se lasje ne posušijo. Za večji učinek ponovite enkrat dnevno do en teden.

20. Pripravite sobno dišavo/vlažilec

V suhih zimskih dneh osvežite in navlažite zrak v vašem domu. Pripravite lastno dišavo za prostore, ki deluje tudi kot vlažilec. Če imate kamin na drva, na vrh postavite posodo iz lakiranega železa, v katero dodate vodo, limonine (in/ali pomarančne) olupke, cimetove palčke, klinčke in jabolčne lupine. Če kamina na drva nimate, lahko uporabite kar običajni štedilnik in občasno zavrite prej navedeni pripravek.

21. Očisti in pobeli nohte

Razvajajte vaše roke brez manikerke. Sok polovice limone dodajte v eno skodelico tople vode in konice prstov pet minut namakajte v mešanici. Ko kožico potisnete nazaj, drgnite z limoninim olupkom po nohtu.

22. Očisti obraz

Stiskajte mozolje na naraven način: na vrh dajte limonin sok, da čez dan odstopijo. Tudi obraz lahko umijete z limoninim sokom. Po nekaj dneh nege bo koža videti lepša. Limonina voda je tudi hladilno sredstvo in najboljši način premagovanja vročine.

23. Osveži dah

Pripravite improvizirano ustno vodo in usta spirajte kar s pitjem limoninega soka iz stekleničke. Citronska kislina iz soka spremeni pH v vaših ustih in uniči bakterije, ki povzročajo slab zadah. Ker daljša izpostavljenost kislini iz limon lahko poškoduje zobno sklenino, po parih minutah sperite.

24. Nega prhljaja

Če se zaradi prhljaja praskate po glavi, je rešitev morda kar v vašem hladilniku. Z dvema žlicama limoninega soka masirajte lasišče in sperite z vodo. Nato zmešajte žlico limoninega soka v skodelico vode in s pripravkom umijte lase. Ponavljajte vsakodnevno, dokler prhljaj ne izgine.

25. Odstrani trdovratne madeže z marmorja

Verjetno mislite, da je marmor kamen, vendar je v resnici okamnel kalcij. To pojasnjuje, zakaj je tako prozen, zakaj se tako hitro umaže in poškoduje. Madeže je včasih zelo težko odstraniti. Če umivanje ne odstrani trdovratnega madeža, poskusite naslednje: Limono prerežite na pol, na izpostavljen notranji del dodajte nekaj soli, nato pa močno drgnite po madežu. Vendar to storite le, če ni druge možnosti. Kislina namreč lahko poškoduje marmor! Dobro sperite.

26. Odstrani madeže jagod

Zagotovo je zabavno nabirati lastne jagode, vendar imate na prstih polno jagodnega soka, ki ga ni mogoče kar tako odstraniti, tudi z milom in vodo. Poskusite roke umivati z nerazredčenim limoninim sokom, nato počakajte nekaj minut in jih sperite s toplo vodo in malo mila. Ponovite, dokler madeži ne izginejo.

27. Zmehča suhe in grobe komolce

Srbeči komolci so težava, poleg tega pa tudi ne izgledajo ravno najlepše. Za lepše komolce in boljši občutek zmešajte sodo bikarbono in limonin sok. Tako boste dobili 'polirno' pasto, ki jo namažete na komolce. Ta bo kožo pomirila, zgladila in odstranila odmrlo. Odvečni del sperite z mešanico enakih delov limoninega soka in vode, nato masirajte z oljčnim oljem in obrišite s suho krpo ali brisačo.

28. Glavoboli

Limonin sok in nekaj žlic vročega čaja, to je zdravilo za tiste, ki trpijo za glavobolom zaradi mačka ali drugimi vrstami te nadloge. Tako ne potrebujete nikakršnih tablet.

29. Mrzlica in vročica

Vzrokov za mrzlico in vročico je lahko več. Kljub temu je limona vedno pravo zdravilo. Španski zdravniki jo spoštujejo kot nezmotljivega prijatelja.

30. Davica

Preskočite cepiva proti tej bolezni. Sok limone je še vedno eden najmočnejših antiseptikov. Močne prebavne lastnosti limone cenijo po celem svetu. Na uro ali dve in ob enakem času vzemite 1/2 ali 1 čajno žličko soka in ga pogoltnite. To sprosti psevdomembrano v grlu in ji omogoči, da pride ven.

31. Vaginalna higiena

Razredčen limonin sok je varna in razumna metoda vaginalne higiene. Je močan antiseptik in ne vsebuje dražečih dodatkov, ki so v milih in svečkah.

32. Pozabite na dišave

Očarljiva francoska navada, da v WC-jih ni umetnih dišav, je takšna, da vzamete zrele limone in v kožo okoli zapišite klinčke. S klinčki podprte limone se počasi sušijo, v straniščih in sobah pa ostane prijeten vonj.

33. Zdrav želodec

Prebavne težave so najpogostejša težava, rešitev pa je topla voda z limoninim sokom. Limonin sok pomaga očistiti kri, manjša možnost slabe prebave, zaprtosti, iz telesa odstranjuje strupe, pospešuje prebavljanje in topi sluz.

34. Razkuži ureznine in praske

Ustavite krvavitev ter razkužite manjše ureznine in praske. Na ureznino nakapajte nekaj kapljic limoninega soka. Lahko pa sok kanete na vato in jo minuto trdno pritisnete na rano.

35. Blaži srbečico zaradi strupenega bršljana

Naslednjič, ko od blizu naletite na strupeni bršljan, ne boste potrebovali cele reke kalaminovega losjona. Na prizadeto kožo le nanesite limonin sok, ki bo pomiril srbenje in zmanjšal izpuščaj.

36. Odstrani bradavice

Za odstranitev bradavic ste preizkusili že cel kup sredstev, vendar nobeno ni učinkovalo. Naslednjič kanite malo limoninega soka na vato in pritisnite na bradavico. Ponavljajte nekaj dni, dokler bradavica zaradi kisline limoninega soka ne razpade.

37. Beli občutljivo blago

Izognite se dodatnim madežem zaradi belila. Običajna belila s klorom zamenjajte z limoninim sokom, ki je nežnejši, a nič manj učinkovit. Vaše občutljivo perilo vsaj pol ure pred pranjem namočite v mešanico limoninega soka in sode bikarbone.

38. Očisti potemnelo medenino in spolira krom

Poslovite se od potemnele oziroma oksidirane medenine, bakra ali nerjavečega jekla. Naredite kremo iz limoninega soka in soli (namesto soli lahko uporabite sodo bikarbono ali vinski kamen) in z njo premažete prizadeti del. Kremo pustite stati pet minut. Nato operite v topli vodi, splaknite in spolirajte do suhega. Enako mešanico lahko uporabite tudi za čiščenje kuhinjskih korit. Nanesite kremo, nežno podrgnite in sperite. Odstranite ostanke mineralov in spolirajte kromirane pipe in drug oksidiran krom. Preprosto podrgnite z limonino lupino in opazujte, kako sije! Dobro sperite in obrišite s suho krpo.

39. Nadomesti sušilni stroj

Zavrzite predrag sušilni stroj (in strupene kemikalije) in raje uporabite naslednji domači trik. Mesto z madežem na srajci ali bluzi preprosto zdrgnite z mešanico enakega dela limoninega soka in vode. 'Oznake' z oblačil izginejo in ostane lep vonj.

40. Da več moči pralnemu prašku

Za močnejše delovanje pralnega praška med ciklom pranja vlijte eno skodelico limoninega soka v pralni stroj. Sok ima naravno funkcijo beljenja, ki bo odstranila madeže, odstranila rjo in mineralno razbarvanje z bombažnih majic, vaša oblačila pa bodo imela svež vonj. Vaša oblačila bodo postala svetlejša in imela bodo krasen vonj po limoni.

41. Odstrani plesen z oblačil

Ste že kdaj razpakirali oblačila, ki so bila celo zimo spravljena, in odkrili, da je na njih nastala plesen? Da se je znebite, naredite kremo iz limoninega soka in soli ter jo namažite na prizadeto področje, na koncu pa oblačila posušite na sončni svetlobi. Postopek ponavljajte dokler plesen ne izgine.

42. Odstrani vonjave kamina

Verjetno ni ničesar prijetnejšega, kot hladen zimski večer ob ognju, ki gori v kaminu, razen če ogenj oddaja neprijetne vonjave. Ko naslednjič ugotovite, da ogenj oddaja neprijetne vonjave, vanj vrzite nekaj limoninih olupkov. Ali pa preprosto zažgite nekaj limoninih olupkov ob ognju.

43. Nevtralizira neprijetne vonjave iz mačje škatle

Za odstranitev neprijetnih vonjav, ki se širijo iz mačje škatle ne potrebujete čudno dišečih osvežilcev. Nekaj limon prerežite na pol in jih nato z odrezano stranjo na vrhu postavite na krožnik v prostoru in zrak bo imel svež vonj po limonah.

44. Odišavi vlažilec

Ko vlažilec začne oddajati čudne vonjave, ga odišavite: 3 do 4 čajne žličke limoninega soka zlijte v vodo. To ne le odstrani vonjav, temveč daje prijeten svež vonj po limonah. Da se neprijetne vonjave ne vrnejo, ponovite na nekaj tednov.

45. Blaži simptome astme

Poleg splošne diete za razstrupljanje lahko 2 žlici limoninega soka pred vsakim obrokom in spanjem ublažita simptome astme.

* Če uživate limonine lupine, obvezno kupite organsko pridelane limone. Običajno pridelane limone imajo lahko namreč v lupini ogromno ostankov škropiv in preparatov.

English:

Hands up all who love lemons? I hold both of them in the air because I love them :) My favorite drink is lemonade. I don´t like sweet juices so I always drink lemonade, water or tea. Lemon is really an universal citrus. This year I decided to buy my first lemon tree. The price was quite high so I hope that it will grow as I want. There is already a very large lemon so I hope the others will be the same. 

Lemon tree

Lemons grow on lemon trees from 3 to 6 meters. Young shoots and blossoms are purple. The fruit is yellow and oval (you can also find round shaped). Peel of the fruit can be smooth or rough. Inside of lemon is a white layer which is called albedo and not edible. In favorable climatic conditions lemon bears 2x a year: in spring and summer. You can use the lemon just and the lemon peel to make candied fruit.

100g lemon contains:

- 35-56 kcal

- 151-235 kJ

- 84-90g of water

- 0,6g fat

- 149mg of potassium

- 11mg of calcium

- 28mg of magnesium and

- 51mg of vitamin C

Lemon is an universal fruit that can be used in different ways. I found on the internet 45 ways to use them and it´s good for everyone to know it. They can be used for cooking, cleaning, health care and much more.

1. Freshen the Fridge

Remove refrigerator odors with ease. Dab lemon juice on a cotton ball or sponge and leave it in the fridge for several hours. Make sure to toss out any malodorous items that might be causing the bad smell.

2. High Blood Pressure

Lemon contains potassium which controls high blood pressure and reduces the effect of nausea and dizziness.

3. Prevent Cauliflower From Turning Brown

Cauliflower tend to turn brown with even the slightest cooking. You can make sure the white vegetables stay white by squeezing a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice on them before heating.

4. Mental Health

Lemon water can also prep up your mood and relieve you from depression and stress. Long distance walkers and world travelers as well as explorers look upon the lemon as a Godsend. When fatigue begins, a lemon is sucked through a hole in the top. Quick acting medicine it is, giving almost unbelievable refreshments.

5. Refresh Cutting Boards

No wonder your kitchen cutting board smells! After all, you use it to chop onions, crush garlic, and prepare fish. To get rid of the smell and help sanitize the cutting board, rub it all over with the cut side of half a lemon or wash it in undiluted juice straight from the bottle.

6. Respiratory Problems

Lemon water can reduce phlegm; and can also help you breathe properly and aids a person suffering with asthma.

7. Treating Arthritis and Rheumatism

Lemon is a diuretic – assists in the production of urine which helps you to reduce inflammation by flushing out toxins and bacteria while also giving you relief from arthritis and rheumatism.

8. Prevents Kidney Stones

Regular consumption of the refreshing drink — or even lemon juice mixed with water — may increase the production of urinary citrate, a chemical in the urine that prevents the formation of crystals that may build up into kidney stones.

9. Keep Insects Out of the Kitchen

You don’t need insecticides or ant traps to ant-proof your kitchen. Just give it the lemon treatment. First squirt some lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills. Then squeeze lemon juice into any holes or cracks where the ants are getting in. Finally, scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance. The ants will get the message that they aren’t welcome. Lemons are also effective against roaches and fleas: Simply mix the juice of 4 lemons (along with the rinds) with 1/2 gallon (2 liters) water and wash your floors with it; then watch the fleas and roaches flee. They hate the smell.

10. Anti-Aging

Lemon water reduces the production of free radicals which are responsible for aging skin and skin damage. Lemon water is calorie free and an antioxidant.

11. Fruit and Vegetable Wash

You never know what kind of pesticides or dirt may be lurking on the skin of your favorite fruits and vegetables. Slice your lemon and squeeze out one tablespoon of lemon juice into your spray bottle. The lemon juice is a natural disinfectant and will leave your fruits and vegetables smelling nice too.

12. Treat Infections

Lemon water can fight throat infections thanks to its antibacterial property. If salt water does not work for you, try lime and water for gargling.

13. Deodorize Your Garbage 

If your garbage is beginning to smell yucky, here’s an easy way to deodorize it: Save leftover lemon and orange peels and toss them at the base under the bag. To keep it smelling fresh, repeat once every couple of weeks.

14. Keep Guacamole Green

You’ve been making guacamole all day long for the big party, and you don’t want it to turn brown on top before the guests arrive. The solution: Sprinkle a liberal amount of fresh lemon juice over it and it will stay fresh and green. The flavor of the lemon juice is a natural complement to the avocados in the guacamole. Make the fruit salad hours in advance too. Just squeeze some lemon juice onto the apple slices, and they’ll stay snowy white.

15. Purges The Blood

We consume a lot of junk food or food with a lot of preservatives and artificial flavors. This builds up a lot of toxins in the blood and body but daily consumption of lemon water helps to purify the blood.

 16. Make Soggy Lettuce Crisp

Don’t toss that soggy lettuce into the garbage. With the help of a little lemon juice you can toss it in a salad instead. Add the juice of half a lemon to a bowl of cold water. Then put the soggy lettuce in it and refrigerate for 1 hour. Make sure to dry the leaves completely before putting them into salads or sandwiches.

 17. Oral Health

Lemon juice also stops bleeding gums and reduces toothaches.

18. Lighten Age Spots

Why buy expensive creams when you’ve got lemon juice? To lighten liver spots or freckles, try applying lemon juice directly to the area. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse your skin clean. It’s a safe and effective skin-lightening agent.

19. Create Blonde Highlights

For salon-worthy highlights, add 1/4 cup lemon juice to 3/4 cup water and rinse your hair with the mixture. Then, sit in the sun until your hair dries. To maximize the effect, repeat once daily for up to a week. 

20. Make a Room Scent/Humidifier

Freshen and moisturize the air in your home on dry winter days. Make your own room scent that also doubles as a humidifier. If you have a wood-burning stove, place an enameled cast-iron pot or bowl on top, fill with water, and add lemon (and/or orange) peels, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and apple skins. No wood-burning stove? Use your stovetop instead and just simmer the water periodically.

21. Clean and Whiten Nails

Pamper your hands without a manicurist. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon to 1 cup warm water and soak your fingertips in the mixture for 5 minutes. After pushing back the cuticles, rub some lemon peel back and forth against the nail. 

22. Cleanse Your Face

Zap zits naturally by dabbing lemon juice on blackheads to draw them out during the day. You can also wash your face with lemon juice for a natural cleanse and exfoliation. Your skin should improve after several days of treatment. Lemon water is also a cooling agent, best way to beat the heat.

23. Freshen Your Breath

Make an impromptu mouthwash by rinsing with lemon juice straight from the bottle. Swallow for longer-lasting fresh breath. The citric acid in the juice alters the pH level in your mouth, killing bacteria that causes bad breath. Rinse after a few minutes because long-term exposure to the acid in lemons can harm tooth enamel.

24. Treat Flaky Dandruff

If itchy, scaly dandruff has you scratching your head, relief may be no farther away than your refrigerator. Just massage two tablespoons lemon juice into your scalp and rinse with water. Then stir one teaspoon lemon juice into one cup water and rinse your hair with it. Repeat daily until your dandruff disappears.

25. Get Rid of Tough Stains on Marble

You probably think of marble as stone, but it is really petrified calcium (also known as old seashells). That explains why it is so porous and easily stained and damaged. Those stains can be hard to remove. If washing won’t remove a stubborn stain, try this: Cut a lemon in half, dip the exposed flesh into some table salt, and rub it vigorously on the stain. But do this only as a last resort; acid can damage marble. Rinse well. Use These Lemons To Clean – Easy and Effective.

26. Remove Berry Stains

It sure was fun to pick your own berries, but now your fingers are stained with berry juice that won’t come off no matter how much you scrub with soap and water. Try washing your hands with undiluted lemon juice, then wait a few minutes and wash with warm, soapy water. Repeat until your hands are stain-free. 

27. Soften Dry, Scaly Elbows

Itchy elbows are bad enough, but they look terrible too. For better looking (and feeling) elbows, mix baking soda and lemon juice to make an abrasive paste, then rub it into your elbows for a soothing, smoothing, and exfoliating treatment. Rinse your extremities in a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and water, then massage with olive oil and dab dry with a soft cloth.

28. Headaches 

Lemon juice with a few teaspoons of hot tea added is the treatment of a sophisticated New York bartender, for those who suffer with hangover headaches–and from headaches due to many other causes. He converts his customers to this regime, and weans them away from drug remedies completely.

29. Chills and Fevers

Chills and fevers may be due to a variety of causes; never the less the lemon is always a helpful remedy. Spanish physicians regard it as an infallible friend. 

30. Diptheria

Skip the vaccine for this disease. Lemon Juice Treatment still proves as one of the most powerful antiseptics and the strong digestive qualities of the fruit are admired around the world. With the juice every hour or two, and at the same time, 1/2 to 1 tsp. should be swallowed. This cuts loose the false membrane in the throat and permits it to come out.

31. Vaginal Hygiene

Diluted lemon juice makes a safe and sane method of vaginal hygiene. Though it is a powerful antiseptic it is nevertheless free from irritating drugs in douches and suppositories.

32. Forget The Moth Balls

A charming French custom to keep closets free from moths is to take ripe lemons and stick them with cloves all over the skin. The heavily studded lemons slowly dry with their cloves, leaving a marvelous odor throughout the closets and rooms.

33. Stomach Health

Digestive problems are the most common ailments but warm water and lime juice is the solution to most digestive problems. Lemon juice helps to purify the blood, reduces your chances of indigestion, constipation, eliminates toxins from the body, adds digestion and reduces phlegm.

34. Disinfect Cuts and Scrapes

Stop bleeding and disinfect minor cuts and scraps by pouring a few drops of lemon juice directly on the cut. You can also apply the juice with a cotton ball and hold firmly in place for one minute.

35. Soothe Poison Ivy Rash

You won’t need an ocean of calamine lotion the next time poison ivy comes a-creeping. Just apply lemon juice directly to the affected area to soothe itching and alleviate the rash.

36. Remove Warts

You’ve tried countless remedies to banish warts and nothing seems to work. Next time, apply a dab of lemon juice directly to the wart using a cotton swab. Repeat for several days until the acids in the lemon juice dissolve the wart completely.

37. Bleach Delicate Fabrics

Avoid additional bleach stains by swapping ordinary household chlorine bleach with lemon juice, which is milder but no less effective. Soak your delicates in a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda for at least half an hour before washing.

38. Clean Tarnished Brass and Polish Chrome

Say good-bye to tarnish on brass, copper, or stainless steel. Make a paste of lemon juice and salt (or substitute baking soda or cream of tartar for the salt) and coat the affected area. Let it stay on for 5 minutes. Then wash in warm water, rinse, and polish dry. Use the same mixture to clean metal kitchen sinks too. Apply the paste, scrub gently, and rinse. Get rid of mineral deposits and polish chrome faucets and other tarnished chrome. Simply rub lemon rind over the chrome and watch it shine! Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

39. Replace Your Dry Cleaner

Ditch the expensive dry-cleaning bills (and harsh chemicals) with this homegrown trick. Simply scrub the stained area on shirts and blouses with equal parts lemon juice and water. Your “pits” will be good as new, and smell nice too.

40. Boost Laundry Detergent

For more powerful cleaning action, pour 1 cup lemon juice into the washer during the wash cycle. The natural bleaching action of the juice will zap stains and remove rust and mineral discolorations from cotton T-shirts and briefs and will leave your clothes smelling fresh. Your clothes will turn out brighter and also come out smelling lemon-fresh.

41. Rid Clothes of Mildew

Have you ever unpacked clothes you stored all winter and discovered some are stained with mildew? To get rid of it, make a paste of lemon juice and salt and rub it on the affected area, then dry the clothes in sunlight. Repeat the process until the stain is gone.

42. Eliminate Fireplace Odor

There’s nothing cozier on a cold winter night than a warm fire burning in the fireplace — unless the fire happens to smell horrible. Next time you have a fire that sends a stench into the room, try throwing a few lemon peels into the flames. Or simply burn some lemon peels along with your firewood as a preventive measure.

43. Neutralize Cat-Box Odor

You don’t have to use an aerosol spray to neutralize foul-smelling cat-box odors or freshen the air in your bathroom. Just cut a couple of lemons in half. Then place them, cut side up, in a dish in the room, and the air will soon smell lemon-fresh.

44. Deodorize a Humidifier

When your humidifier starts to smell funky, deodorize it with ease: Just pour 3 or 4 teaspoons lemon juice into the water. It will not only remove the off odor but will replace it with a lemon-fresh fragrance. Repeat every couple of weeks to keep the odor from returning.

45. Reduce Asthma Symptoms

In addition to a general detoxifying diet, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice before each meal, and before retiring can reduce asthma symptoms.

* If you consume lemon peel use organic lemons to reduce your pesticide exposure.
