Lemons truly are a super food! They’re rich in vitamins and minerals, magnesium, pectin, bioflavonoids, phosphorus, folic acid, potassium and calcium. They can help you protect your body from many diseases and have an amazing effect on your liver, stomach, intestines and your immune system.
Another great thing about lemons is that they can help you relieve joint pain. Lemon’s essential oils found in the peel will relax your blood vessels and have anti-inflammatory effect, therefore they’re amazing for nerve and joint pain.
If you’re suffering from chronic pain and inflammation, this simple, effective and homemade remedy can definitely help you!
Grate the peel of one lemon. Grate only the yellow part. Rub the peel directly on the painful area and wrap it. Keep the peel on for at least 2 hours.
Another thing you can try is to rind 2 whole lemons. Put them in a jar and fill the jar with olive oil. Close the jar and let the mixture sit for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, rub the oil on the affected area and wrap it. Let the oil sit overnight.
Always use organic lemons!
