As well as being safe and good to eat - they taste great with fish dishes - they have Vitamin C which is good for your general health.
However, the lemon also has lesser known medicinal qualities:
The pain and burn of insect bites can be soothed with the application of lemon juice. The juice is also recommended for cuts and bleeding if you can withstand the sting. A few drops of lemon juice on a cut serve as a disinfectant and the cut closes and heals sooner. Nose bleeds also respond remarkably to lemon juice. Lemon is believed to be a powerful germicide that can outwit 20 different types of germs. Lemon juice is a great antiseptic. Mixed with olive or almond oil it cures eczema externally. Combined with papaya juice it works wonders in cases of athlete’s foot.

Yes they are good for many other things also, like lightening hair, skin, vitamin c, breaking down fatty deposits within the body, drink squeezed lemon in hot water it detoxifies your system, but too much can also create too much acidic reaction within the gut causing indigestion, and sour stomachs... moderation is key!

Yes. PLJ (pure lemon juice) can be brought from any good supermarket. You can drink it pure or watered down 1st thing on a morning and it clears your system out and makes skin more clear and healthy (it controls spots aswell). I swear by it!
