Citrus Limon

Family: RUTACEAEA

The lemon^[1] has so many health benefits, it offers easy to prepare remedies for a host of ailments such as colds, chills, headaches, coughs, flus, Influenza to mention just a few of the better-known recipes.

It is probably the only fruit which you will find in bars around the world - and there is a reason - its health-restoring and preserving qualities have been known for millenia.

It is also a marvellous antacid - a long-term antacid rather than the short-term varieties found in supermarkets. The citric acid in lemon quickly changes an acid condition into an alkaline one thus dealing with the foundational cause of acidity rather than just suppressing the symptoms.

Lemons also contain a large amount of fruit calcium which supplies bones, teeth, and nervous system with easy to assimilate calcium - their basic nourishment.

It contains a good proportion of phosphorus and one of its greatest properties is its ability to "digest" proteins when put on meat, poultry, fish, beans and eggs.

He converts his customers to this regime, and weans them away from drug remedies completely.

In addition to a general detoxifying diet and eliminating dairy products and wheat and taking 2 tablespoons of lemon juice before each meal, and before retiring. Asthma soon clears up.

LEMON FOR ENDURANCE

Many women, men, and children who lack endurance are low in calcium supply. A lemon cocktail (the recipe is in our ebook) taken twice daily for 30 days changes the body chemistry, giving greater strength, improvement of memory, and endurance, as well as complexion.

FATIGUE

Long distance walkers and world travellers as well as explorers look upon the lemon as a Godsend. When fatigue begins, sucking a lemon through a hole in the top. It is a quick acting rejuvenator, giving almost unbelievable refreshment. Explorers use lemon for protection against many infections of the tropics. A small amount of lemon juice will quench thirst more effectively than many times the amount of water.

COUGHS AND COLDS Roasted lemons - roasted until they crack open - are given to cough and cold sufferers of all ages, and with marked success.

The pineapple adds its powerful "digestive" enzymes to those of the lemon, for disintegrating the mucous in the throat.

The lemon is one of the speediest acting enemies against germs. Industrial surgeons have used lemon in cases of infection due to injury, with marked success. Harley Street, specialists in London, gives the children of royalty, lemon and honey for sore throat. Many people who have spent fortunes on stubborn forms of eczema have been led to the homely lemon when all their money was gone, to find the condition soon leaves them, and stays away, too.

HALITOSIS

Screen and dramatic stars drink lemon juice drinks sweetened with a little honey, 2-3 times daily to guarantee sweet breath. LEMON IS A FORMIDABLE ENEMY IN THESE CONDITIONS How many people are terrified by the sight of infectious erysipelas! Poultices made from lemon juice have been producers of magic relief after other powerful drugs have proved useless.

SCARLET FEVER

Dr. George W. Wood makes this statement about Scarlet Fever: "I can cure 49 out of 50 cases of scarlet fever with lemon and gum arabic. At the beginning of attack place the child in bed, giving it a drink of some lemonade with gum arabic, - 1/2 teaspoon of the gum with a glass of lemonade. Cover the abdomen with dry flannel, then wrap the child in a white woollen blanket wrung out of hot water, put a dry blanket on top, then add sufficient covering to cause perspiration. In some cases placing hot water bags outside the outer blanket quickly induces this. After one hour of perspiration, during which time lemonade and gum arabic have been given freely to drink, the child should be wiped dry and made comfortable as to the amount of clothing. Lemon juice tends to remove deposits, which form on the inner part of the mouth and helps with ulceration.

RHEUMATISM

Take the juice of 1/2 lemon before each meal and before retiring each night mixed in water and apply the juice 2x daily externally on the sore areas. After 3 days the sure but slow power of the lemon shows it's cleansing and pain-relieving qualities.

SCURVY

The world well knows today that the lemon juice cure for scurvy is effective. There are many cases bordering on scurvy, however, showing a lack of the powerful lemon vitamins which give quick improvement in better bowel section, healing of mouth conditions, and a greater immunity to infection, when a diet very rich in vitamin C which abounds in lemon is followed.

Lemon Peel - its appeal is universal

TARTAR REMOVER Lemon juice makes a delightful dentifrice all by itself. Toothbrushes immersed in lemon juice, diluted with water, remain clean, as well as do the teeth. LEMON PEEL - A GREAT DELICACY Great epicures insist on the free use of lemon peel, grated, in all cakes. It lends an indefinable something of luxury to the taste of any cake, or any flavour, and does not interfere with other flavours, either in the frosting of the cake or in the body of the cake itself. As one who has not yet tasted luxury hamburger can realize what is in store for him. Ground onion with ground lemon peel added to beef before broiling or frying is a greater treat than the most expensive cuts of meat. The costliest of chocolates in Paris contain finely ground lemon peel. Ground lemon peel is placed in the finest of European fruit and vegetable salads. In Berlin, Paris, and throughout Italy their incomparable soups contain ground lemon peel. Lemon peel marmalade graces the breakfast tables of continental resorts. Many epicures are seen using ground lemon peel in their breakfast eggs.

LEMONS AND MOTH PREVENTATIVES

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 marvellous odour throughout the closets and rooms.

THE SOPHISTICATED LEMON

This trick was learned from important men of business and professional life, when they had to be on their toes in the morning after a night of feasting and celebration. A lemon is quartered. It is then sprinkled with salt, and all eaten except the rind, before breakfast. Public speakers say this trick is an important stimulant to them before going on the platform.

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.

OTHER LEMON CURES

People who have ear, nose, and throat problems have had incredible results by eliminating catarrh with lemon juice treatment. Stubborn catarrh cases are helped with a teaspoonful of olive oil with a teaspoon of lemon juice gradually added and with an eye dropper allowed to trickle through each nostril or put into the ears each day or as a preventative each week for cleansing and tonic properties. Tiny amounts of lemon juice and olive oil are added to baby food at weaning time, and increased with the age of the child. This method is said to prevent ordinary children's diseases, through its peculiar immunity giving qualities.

abundant lemons - abundant benefits

Constipation is treated with inner and outer supplies of lemon juice and olive oil. Four time's daily egg cups of olive oil and lemon juice are taken. The body is massaged 3 times weekly with lemon juice and oil.

Adenoids are treated with diluted lemon juice used in a nasal syringe in a gentle, trickling manner.

In arthritis, lemon juice and oil are gently massaged into the joints after patient has been made warm in a hot bath, or blanket bath in bed.

Lemon pulp poultices are freely used for boils, abscesses, and skin eruptions generally. Juice is of course used internally also.

In bronchitis, lemon and oil are used as a gargle, and also as an exterior massage for throat and chest.

In cirrhosis of the liver, as many as a dozen lemons are used daily with a starch free diet, heavily supplied with fruits such as raisins, oranges, pineapples, etc. Striking results are said to be experienced by sufferers of colitis, with a massage of the abdomen twice daily (while lying down) with lemon juice and oil.

In diarrhoea, apple pulp and lemon juice for both young and old. In eczema, lemon juice and raw pineapple juice are applied every hour, and with a starchless diet, until condition is cured. Influenza, headache, and indigestion are treated with increasing amounts of lemon juice inwardly and outwardly. In treatment of jaundice, lemon juice is combined with carrot juice.

Results in the treatment of lack of motivation, mental disorders and neurasthenia with olive oil and lemon juice have been very beneficial. 1 Tablespoon olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon juice 2 xs per day. The beneficial calcium, usually low in neurasthenia, is supplied with the nerve nourishing properties of olive oil, to give zest to a patients diet. Daily massage of lemon juice and olive oil is excellent too.

Age spots and freckles become lightened with the application of lemon juice.

The treatment of piles has been markedly successful. The diet is dry for a day. No water is used - only fruits and vegetables. At night a small teacup of warm olive oil and lemon juice, equal parts, is very gently inserted rectally--and retained. I have found a clove of peeled garlic let stand for 5 minutes in olive oil so it won't burn the anus works incredibly well. Insert in the anus and leave at night. Usually the pile has gone back inside by the morning.

COSMETICS AND LEMON

The lemon is a very valuable hand and nail bleach. The newer highlighting rinses for hair contains lemon. The pore reducing treatment in the ultra-modern beauty shop contains natural lemon juice, and one of the constituents in an effective breast reducer-is lemon juice.

A new liquid powder designed for both treatment and beautification, contains natural juice of lemon for its ability to ward off facial and nose shine-also for its bleaching and freckle removing qualities.

Lemon strawberry tooth powder is a new bleaching agent for teeth darkened by film and alkaline deposits.

A dancing teacher keeps her pupils' feet and joints pliant with olive oil and lemon juice massage before and after all lessons, and physical culture experts are now using a remarkable massage cream made from egg yolk, lemon, and olive oil.

Actresses prevent dark circled eyes by twice daily applications of lemon juice. It is used to prevent yellow appearance of the neck. One clever actress carries with her at all times the new cleansing pads for removing make-up during the day. She adds lemon juice to the jar of pads so that with each application she secures a bleaching as well as a cleansing treatment of her skin before applying her make-up.

The lemon has a host of uses for hair and scalp. A lemon scalp massage may be given in ones own home by using the dehydrated lemon powder, which is allowed to remain on during the night for its powerful tonic properties, as well as its ability to combat many scalp infections.

Then drink it.

When should I drink my Lemon Tincture?

How to Use our Tinctures externally

how to apply a tincture to the soles of your feet

If you are treating an external condition - such as a skin infection - then simply apply the tincture directly to the site using the eyedropper or a suitable swab.

If you are treating an internal condition then the best way to get the tincture into your body is through the soles of your feet. The skin is a highly absorptive organ and the feet have the reflxology facility which helps get the healing properties of the herbs right to the place inside you where they will do the most good.

If you don't have someone to do it for you, the easiest way we've found is to apply it sitting down. Rest one foot on your other leg's thigh (use a towel to make sure the tincture doesn't drip on your furniture or clothes), squirt a small amount of tincture onto the palm of one hand (about 1.5ml or half an eyedropper), rub it gently into the sole of your foot. In most cases you will find it has been absorbed within 30 seconds or so - you'll know when your foot feels dry. Then do the same to your other foot and the treatment is complete.
