Benefits of Lemon

Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C. Having a lemon squeezed in warm water first thing every morning will cleanse your digestive system. 



It also increases the levels of immunity thus cutting the chances of infections. Because it has antibacterial and anti-viral properties, you can battle flu and colds by downing a glass of lemon juice. It is also known to purify blood, hence getting rid of toxins from the body.

Lemon is also used in aromatherapy. Since it smells so 'clean' it induces the feeling of freshness and purges the feelings of inadequacy thus building confidence. The essential oil is known to increase the level of concentration. To get rid of a tan apply lemon on hands and feet. Section hair and rub a lemon on hair and voila, you get natural-looking highlights like you just returned from a day at the beach.
