4. Lower blood pressure
It could be as easy as drinking lemon water three to four times daily. Homeopathic practitioner John Summerly of True Activist says the most effective method is to drink lemon juice with warm water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
5. Fight throat infections
Gargling lemon water can have soothing effects on throat infections, similar to saltwater gargles, reports Summerly. This is because lemon juice is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
6. Eliminate dandruff
Is your dandruff bad enough that you avoid black clothing? Summerly has a solution for you! Massage a couple of tablespoons into your scalp during your next shower before rinsing with water.
7. Soften calluses
Mix lemon juice with baking soda and rub the solution into calluses and rough spots on the elbows and knees. Rinse the skin with equal parts water and lemon juice. Finish your at-home treatment by gently massaging olive oil into your skin. This home remedy, as suggested by Summerly, will make you feel like a goddess.
8. Disinfect cuts
This one might sting, but Summerly promises the effects are worth the burn! Protect a minor cut or scrape against infection by holding a cotton ball dipped in lemon juice over the wound for one minute.
