When life gives you lemons heal yourself! Lemons carry some of the most potent healing properties of all fruits. They me be sour, but the effects of eating them are quite sweet when it comes to your health and wellbeing. Many naturopathinc and modern practitioners have been known to recommend drinking warm lemon water twice a day to promote healthy digestion and to help rid toxins in the liver and body, this is especially helpful when drinking first thing in the morning before eating (It is suggested that a person under 150lbs. dilute half a lemon with distilled water and for those over 150lbs to dilute one whole lemon in distilled water). While bananas are known for their high percentage of potassium, so are lemons! Outside of lemons healing properties, they are very potent when using them as an antiseptic, and for cleaning. Try rubbing down your bathroom and kitchen counters with a fresh lemon for a clean & fresh feel and to help kill those nasty germs!
