I like this post a lot. I use lots of lemon's sometimes even just to decorate my table in the kitches. The smell alone will be breath taking and you will enjoy it.

If you have a headache just apply drops as you like to water and drink it. Lemon water is very healthy for us. Most of my headache's are gone within minutes when i drink it with water

Lemon contains citric acid, which can be effective in treating acne. The vitamin C found in citrus fruits is vital for that healthy glowing skin while its alkaline nature kills some types of bacteria known to cause acne.

· With your finger or a cotton ball, apply fresh lemon juice on acne and leave it overnight. Wash with water the following morning. There may be an uncomfortable sensation of burning at first, but it will soon disappear.
