Benefits of Lemon

In his book Back to Eden, Jethro Kloss explains some of the medicinal values of a lemon:

It helps prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria and the decomposition of tissue

It assists in “cleansing the system of impurities” and will help prevent disease

It is effective at dissolving uric acid (often the cause of pain and inflammation in joints) and other poisons in the body

It can help reduce symptoms of malaria, rheumatism, gout, rickets and tuberculosis.

Provide a natural strengthening agent to liver enzymes when they are too dilute

Help fix oxygen and calcium levels in the liver, which ultimately affects blood oxygen levels.

Helps purify the blood and will also control a tendency to bleed
Assists in lowering high blood pressure
Reduces the amount of phlegm in the body
Relieves symptoms of asthma, allergies and other respiratory problems
Nourishes brain and nerve cells due to its potassium content
Helps dissolves gallstones, calcium deposits, kidney stones, and pancreatic stones
