The Things You Can Do with Lemon Peels and Juice

Lemons have always been regarded as valuable fruits, since they are beneficial and useful in everyone’s home. They have been grown since the 16th century in Florida, after being brought to the New World by Christopher Columbus. With their high vitamin C content, lemons, as well as limes, were valued to protect against the development of scurvy.

They were even paid up to $1 per lemon during the California Gold Rush, when they were in high demand. This would still be considered pricey today, which means that it was extremely expensive during the 1800s. (1)

A reason enough for keeping a steady supply of lemons on hand is the vitamin C content alone. However, these bright citrus fruits also contain additional antioxidants, known as flavonoids, which play a beneficial role in fighting heart disease, cancer, and inflammation.(2)

The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (3) published an article which claims that:

“The anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Citrus flavonoids can play a key role in their activity against several degenerative diseases and particularly brain diseases.”

Lemons have their place in our daily diet, they can be used to make lemon water, for starters, they can be incorporated into vegetable juice, used in salad dressings, squeezed over veggies and so on. But what is even more interesting, lemon has even more favorable uses outside of the kitchen.

Lemon will be your miracle worker when you learn all about its uses around the house, for skin care, cleaning and much more.

Recently, a compilation of more than 5 dozen uses of lemon was published by Business Insider. All these uses are classified in a several categories. You can read all about these in the article below (4):

Cooking

Clumpy rice: Add a spoonful of lemon juice to the water while the rice is cooking in order to keep rice from sticking. Simply fluff with a fork when it’s done.

Ice cubes: Add some flavor to your drinks by adding lemon slices to your ice cube trays.

Prevent browning on fruits and veggies: Soak cut-up apples, cauliflower, bananas, pears,potatoes, and avocados in a bowl of cold lemon water to prevent browning.

Buttermilk substitute: To make a fine substitute for buttermilk for the recipe you prepare, add two tablespoons of lemon juice to a cup of milk, and leave to sit for 15 minutes.

Sour cream substitute: For a sour cream alternative, add lemon juice to whipped cream and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Revive limp lettuce: Add the juice of half a lemon to a bowl of cold water, then, soak the soggy lettuce leaves. Leave it for an hour in the fridge and then dry the now-crisp leaves.

Marinade: Lemon can also help you prepare a homemade marinade. Combine lemon juice with your favorite oils and herbs to marinate meats. The acidic lemon juice helps break down the meat so the flavor of the marinade can infuse it.

Health

Coughs: Sip hot lemon water with honey to help reduce mucous buildup and relieve coughs.

Sore throat: Gargling with lemon water may soothe a sore throat while consuming lemon water provides vitamin C for your immune system. This is due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Hardwood floors: Make a grime-fighting non-toxic floor cleaner by combining vinegar and lemon.

Plastic containers: Rub the plastic containers with lemon juice and letting them dry in the sun will help remove the stains.

Toilet: Remove the stains by adding half a cup of lemon juice to your toilet, then letting it sit prior to scrubbing. Add half a cup of borax for stubborn stains.

Mildew stains: Apply a paste of lemon juice and salt to the stain, then let dry in the sun. Repeat as needed.

Miscellaneous

Stains on your pet’s fur: Apply a paste of baking soda and lemon juice and rub into the fur Tt eliminate pink or red-colored stains from around your pet’s eyes or mouth. Let it sit for about 10 minutes then rinse off. Be careful not to get the mixture into your pet’s eyes.

Insect repellant: Spray concentrated lemon juice on areas where ants are getting in. You can also place lemon peels near entryways to repel insects. Mopping floors with lemon juice and water will repel roaches and flees.

Kill weeds: Your homemade lemon juice weed spray is a remarkable non-toxic weed killer.

Berry stains on hands: Rub a paste of cornmeal and lemon juice onto your hands, let it sit for a while and then rinse off to remove berry stains.

Leather shoe polish: Lemon can also be part of your fantastic homemade leather shoe polish! Mix one-part lemon juice with two parts of olive oil, then apply to leather shoes. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then buff with cloth.

Hardened paintbrushes: Bring lemon juice with a splash of water to a boil, then add in hardened paintbrushes. Let sit for 15 minutes, then wash with soap and water. The bristles will become soft again once they dry.

Invisible ink: Write a message on a piece of white paper using a cotton swab dipped in lemon juice. After it dries, hold it up to a lamp or light bulb to see your hidden message.

Fight Stress and Anxiety with Lemon Aromatherapy

-Another way to enjoy the healing powers of the lemon is the aromatherapy with lemon essential oil. Essential oils are the essence of the plant and can provide therapeutic benefits in very small amounts.

They carry biologically active volatile compounds of flowers and plants in a highly concentrated form. Various beneficial effects can be felt after an inhalation of the particles in essential oils, which come from flowers, twigs, leaves, or bark.

-Lemon essential oil has been shown to have anti-stress and anti-anxiety effects. (5)

-An aromatherapy massage using oils of lemon, rosemary, and peppermint was even found to relieve constipation in the elderly. (7)

-Meanwhile, the scent of lemon has been found to also reduce nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. (8)

-One study showed that when participants sniffed a blend of oils of lemon, lavender, and ylang ylang, it lowered systolic blood pressure and sympathetic nerve system activity.(6)

To conclude, you can use lemon for its cleaning powers, antioxidant properties, for its flavor and vitamin C, as a part of your aromatherapy collection or for all of the numerous listed above, and you will always feel its favorable effects. We should all try to benefit from the lemon, as it is one of the most advantageous miracles of the nature.

Extra tip: If possible, always choose fresh lemon juice over the pre-squeezed varieties you can purchase at grocery stores, since it keeps its vitamin C content.(9)

Amazing List of 50 Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar

Plus Instructions on How to Consume It Without Gagging!

We love great multi-taskers! Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is no exception. This great tonic has been used since biblical times to help with a number of different ailments including common colds and infections, kidney stones, high blood pressure, allergies, arthritis and more!

Japanese Samurai, Roman soldiers and military groups throughout history have used apple cider vinegar as an antiseptic, antibacterial and as an energizer. In 400 B.C., Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, used it for its amazing natural cleansing, healing and energizing qualities.

When buying ACV, be sure it includes the “mother,” which will be listed on the label. The “mother” occurs naturally as connected strand-like chains of protein enzyme molecules and is highly regarded throughout history.

ACV packs a powerful punch in the realm of gut health too! Check out this video to learn more about the importance of gut health and how YOU can keep yours in tip top shape (which also improves your immunity!).

Despite vinegar being acidic by nature, it actually helps to balance your pH levels, which helps support a healthy body, decreasing chronic inflammation and warding off illness.
Check out this article to see what science has found out about apple cider vinegar!

Here is just a small portion of what apple cider vinegar can do for you and your family.

#1 Dandruff

Mix equal parts water/vinegar in a spray bottle and spray on hair after shampoo, let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse. Repeat for a few days until dandruff problem disappears. Repeat once every week or so for maintenance.

#2 Sore Throat

Combine 1 tsp ACV, 1 tsp cayenne pepper and 3 tsp raw honey in a glass of warm water. ACV and honey have antibacterial properties to help speed up recovery and the capsaicin in hot peppers will help soothe pain.

#3 Foot Odor

Pour ACV over baby wipes, store in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight and use as needed. Also works as an underarm deodorizer.

#4 Gas and Constipation

Dilute a tablespoon of ACV into warm tea and drink before a meal. Vinegar stimulates digestive juices (HCl – hydrochloric acid) that help your body breakdown food.

#5 Heartburn

Dilute a tablespoon or so in some water or tea anytime you feel heartburn symptoms coming on. If it is too nasty for you to swallow, add a little raw hone

#6 Clear Skin

Soak a washcloth in ACV and apply to your face to lessen oil. This will also help with scarring from acne.

#7 Sunburn

Add a cup or two of ACV to a bath and soak for ten minutes. This helps the skin feel soothed and cool, as well as restores the skin’s pH.

#8 Whiten Teeth

Apply directly to teeth and then rinse with water. Don’t do often as it may break down tooth enamel. For a more gentle approach, dilute with water and use as a mouth rinse.

#9 All Purpose Cleaner

Mix 1 part water, 1 part ACV and 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil together in a spray bottle. ACV is double fermented and an excellent detoxifier. Making your own cleaner is a fantastic way to get rid of unnecessary chemicals in your home.

#10 Odor Remover

ACV breaks down the volatile compounds and kills bacteria that causes unpleasant odors around the house. You can mix 1 part water and 1 part ACV in a spray bottle and use in rooms where a bad odor is present.

#11 Weed Killer

There are lots of recipes for using ACV as a weed killer. You can use it on its own, mix with dish soap, water, salt and/or lemon juice.

#12 Flea Repellent (pets)

ACV makes an awesome natural flea repellent, that actually works! Simply apply topically to your dogs skin or put in a spray bottle and spray over fur and in the dogs bed.

#13 Skin Tags, Moles, Warts

Soak a cotton ball with some ACV, place over the skin tag, mole or wart and secure with medical tape (duct tape works too!). Leave on overnight and wash area once removed. Repeat nightly until wart problem is gone.

#14 Burns

Apply ACV to the burn as soon as possible to help soothe pain and stimulate healing. ACV will also help to disinfect. Note: do not apply to open wounds.

#15 Bruises

Warm up a cup of ACV and mix in 1 tsp of salt. Apply to bruise as a compress.

#16 Bad Breath

Mix 1 tablespoon ACV in a cup of water and gargle for 10 seconds.

#17 Post Shaving Treatment

Mix ACV 50/50 with water and apply to skin for a soothing aftershave.

#18 Condiment Enhancer

ACV can liven up condiments like a rockstar. Try adding a little to sauces, marinades and vinaigrettes. Mix ACV with a little olive oil and fresh herbs for a simple topping for meat or salad. Mix with lemon juice for a great veggie dressing – we use this in our Give Your Body 30 Program.

#19 Mix with Fruit Juice

Might seem a little strange pairing vinegar with fruit juice, but it is actually pretty good! Try mixing a small amount of ACV into grape or a similar type of juice. It is an easy and tasty way to get a daily dose of ACV. Please note: I am referring to fresh pressed juice, not store bought varieties, which are loaded with sugar.

#20 Soups

Add a splash of ACV to your soup for a little extra punch.

#21 Baked Goods

Add to baked goods to add an extra lift. Don’t worry, a small amount won’t be detected by the kids or the guests.

#22 Antifungal

Apply ACV topically to affected area or soak area in 1 part ACV 5 parts water for 30 minutes a day if possible.

#23 Sore Muscles

Mix a tablespoon with water and gulp it down for pain relief or rub it directly over sore muscles.

#24 Anti-Itch

If you’ve become the unfortunate enemy of a jellyfish or even poison ivy, some ACV should do the trick to get rid of the itchiness. Simply apply directly to skin and let it work its magic.

#25 Insulin Sensitivity

Regularly taking ACV may help keep blood sugar levels balanced.

Check out what Dr. Mercola has to say about apple cider vinegar.

#26 Clear Sinuses

A stuffy nose that won’t clear is the worst. Try sipping a cup of water mixed with ACV – it will act as an antibacterial in your throat and may help decrease and break-up the mucus.

#27 Lymph Circulation

Take daily for detox benefits and to help build immunity. ½ tablespoon mixed in some tea or lemon water every morning should do the trick.
Check out this article for a Fire Cider Recipe to boost immunity and to help prevent colds and the flu.

#28 Energy Boost

Add a little to a fresh morning juice or smoothie (just a little, it packs a strong taste!).

#29 Facial Toner

Mix 1 tsp ACV in a little water and apply to face with a cotton ball. Yes, the smell is strong but it dissipates quickly and will improve your skin. Repeat daily for best results.

#30 Upset Stomach

ACV has antibiotic properties and pectin, which are soothing the stomach. For a stomach soothing cocktail combine: 2 tsp ACV, 1 tbsp fresh ginger water, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 8 ounces sparkling water and raw honey to taste. Take a swig in a glass of water when you start feeling unsettled or bloated.

#31 Stop Dogs/Cats From Chewing On Your Stuff

Most animals hate the smell of vinegar and will avoid chewing on cords, couches, etc. if you dab some ACV on them once a week. If your dog pees in the house, clean it up with ACV cleaner and they’ll never pee there again.

#32 Detox Bath

Add 1 cup ACV to your bath along with ⅓-1 cup of Epsom salts and 5-10 drops essential oils. Adding sea salt, ginger and baking soda are also great options for further detoxification and relaxation.

#33 Wash Fruits and Veggies

Use some ACV to wash your fruits and veggies before you eat them. This is important to remove any pesticides or chemicals that may have been sprayed on them before they were harvested.

#34 Neutralize Spices

When you’ve accidentally added one too many shakes of cayenne powder to your dinner, add 1 tsp ACV at a time until the taste returns to where you want it!

#35 Flytrap

Put some ACV and a drop of dish soap in a bowl and set on the counter to attract and kill fruits flies.

#36 Urine Smell in Clothes

Add ½ cup to washing machine to get urine smell out of clothing.

#37 Exercise Fatigue

Take a tablespoon ACV in a cup of water after a workout to battle post-workout exhaustion. Lactic acid builds up in the body after a workout and causes fatigue. The amino acids in ACV provide a perfect antidote.

#38 Yeast Infection

Add 1 ½ cups of ACV to a bath and soak for 20 minutes.

#39 Allergies

1 tablespoon in water and 1 Tbs. local organic raw honey daily to combat allergy season.

Polnilnica ima koncesijo za polnjenje vode po novih EU standardih, in je tako po kvaliteti vode, kot tudi tehnologiji polnjenja v vrhu evropskih polnilnic vode. Zadovoljstvo naših strank potrjuje dejstvo, da ima polnilnica že več kot 1200 odjemalcev, ki uspešno prodajajo našo vodo in vodo z okusi. Poleg Slovenije smo prisotni tudi na trgih Avstrije, Nemčije in Skandinavije. Po vstopu Hrvaške v EU smo se odlocili tudi za vstop na hrvaško tržišče.

Kamniško Savinske Alpe kjer izvira Voda902

Naša voda in voda z okusi je na voljo v plastenkah 0,5l in 1,5l. Če je v trgovinah še niste srečali, je to najbrž zato, ker več kot 95% naše proizvodnje vode napolnimo za druge blagovne znamke, največkrat trgovske blagovne znamke v Avstriji, Nemčiji, Sloveniji in Danskem, čeprav polnimo vodo v promocijske namene tudi za blagovne znamke, kot so Sony, Toyota, Microsoft, ipd. Etikete na vodi, ki jih napolnimo za tujo blagovno znamko, morajo vsebovati samo najnujnejše podatke o sestavi vode in podatek, da je voda polnjena v EU, zato je vloga naše lastne blagovne znamke VODA902 pri prodaji na tuje blagovne znamke skorajda nepomembna.
