But there are many other ways that lemon can help you improve your health.
At the most basic level, you can start by adding lemon juice to some water and using it to wash your produce.
This will help dissolve and remove all pesticides from your fruits and vegetables, making even non-organic produce even better for you.
If you have a sore throat, gargling with lemon juice or sipping tea with lemon can soothe the raw inflammation in your throat.
It’s also antibacterial and will help clear any bacteria or other germs that might be causing the sore throat.
When suffering from nausea, a great way to get instant relief is to add some fresh squeezed lemon juice to a glass and top with a pinch of sugar.
The scent of the lemon begins the relief process, and then the lemon juice and sugar dose completes the job.
Dry, itchy elbows can be solved with a baking soda and lemon juice paste.
Just rub this paste into your elbows as an exfoliant and rinse.
Finish the process with a dab of olive oil rubbed in, and you’ll have better feeling (and better looking) elbows quickly.
While talking about itch, if you suffer from dandruff, lemon can help you there too!
Just take 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and massage it into your scalp, then rinse with water.
Then create a rinse for your hair out of 8 ounces of water and one teaspoon of lemon juice.
Repeat these two steps every day until your dandruff is gone!
