Lemon Love...

via stylemepretty

I am absolutely in love with lemons lately.. I add them to my water, my food, my tea, and especially now that I am on the brink of a cold.  Traditionally, lemons have always been used for infections (respiratory).  My mom used take hot water, lemon and honey and heat it up and give it to my brother and I at night to keep us from coughing all night. 

Lemons have been known to:
1.  Boosting the immune system (Great source of Vitamin C)
2.  Helpful for digestive problems, mouth ulcers, and gum problems
3.  Best if eaten fresh
4.  Great for skin care
5.  Might.. and I say it might... help with weight loss?  hmmmm? worth a try?

Lemons powerful antibacterial activity makes it first choice as a gargle or mouthwash for sore throats, mouth ulcers and gingivitis. 

Here is another great idea
Lemon-Ginger-Tea


Hot glass of Lemon water with Ginger and Stevia.

You’ll need:

• 1/2 inch knob of ginger sliced thinly or grated
• lemon
• Stevia to taste

Simply pour boiling water over the ginger, let steep for about 5mins then add lemon juice and stevia to taste. (thanks to lindawagner.com for this)

Can also be used for cleaning...
