Lemons - Part 4
This is just going to be some “recipes” for your home, health, and beauty. So you can be your real “lemonage”! You know, the one you tell everyone you are!!! teehee
If you have a juicer, the pulp left from the lemons is excellent for the skin and can also soothe the bites and stings of insects. If you add equal parts of eau de toilet and of glycerin to the residue, the mixture can be made to keep your hands smooth.
If you have lemons that you have squeezed, add salt to the inside of each half, and apply it to your elbows. It will bleach them and help exfoliate them. Especially if you can sit with them on your elbows for 3-5 minutes. Then rub them a little and rinse.
It has been demonstrated that the extract of lemon, when vaporized will neutralize the bacteria of meningococcus, typhoid, pneumococcus and staphylococcus in from 15 to 180 minutes. Extract of lemon is available at health food stores. Put some in a simmer pot, and move it from room to room.
Please use only pure lemon essential oil, available online, or at your local natural foods store, for the following:
To freshen air and reduce unpleasant odors: place 2-3 drops in a diffuser.
For joint pain: Add 2-3 drops to 1 ounce of carrier oil and massage on affected area. Or add 8-10 drops to a bath.
To boost the immune system: Use 2-3 drops in a diffuser or steam inhalation as a tonic after an illness. Continue use for 2-3 days.
For corns or warts, apply full-strength directly to the affected area with a cotton swab. Be careful to avoid applying to surrounding area.
To alleviate emotional distress, confusion, fatigue, PMS, and stress, use 2-3 drops in a diffuser, or 8-10 drops in a bath.
To toughen fingernails, mix 2-3 drops in 1 ounce of almond oil and massage into cuticles and fingernails regularly.
For oily hair, mix 2-3 drops with unscented shampoo.
For oily skin, mix 2-3 drops of oil in 1 ounce of water. Mix well, place on cotton ball, and apply to skin as a toner.

A cough remedy from roasted lemons? That’s right! To alleviate a bad cough, roast several lemons, at 375°, until they start to crack open! Then mix the juice from a roasted lemon with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and a fourth of a cup of apple or pineapple juice. This will help you cough up anything in your throat with ease, and get it out of your system, while soothing your throat at the same time.
A remedy for headaches- even migraines? Here is the following recipe: Take an eight ounce mug of alfalfa tea and add one tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice.
Did you know that lemon juice is a natural laxative that has no side effects? Just pour two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice into an eight-ounce glass of warm water. Drink it in the morning when you first get up. The citrus juice will help regulate your digestive system.
And of course, there is always the disinfecting your cutting board! Clean and dry your board, pour lemon juice on it and allow it to sit for 3-5 minutes, then rinse and dry. Oh, and always store your board upright, as this prevents your board from warping.
