Limes & Lemons as Home Remedies

For vaginal hygiene and leucorrhea [leukorrhea], lemon juice in water, in varying amounts, will be most helpful to relaxed or irritated tissue.

The skin of the lemon is a flavour [flavor] delicacy. Grated or chopped fine, it can be added to salads, baked goods, and puddings. Even marmalade is made from the citrus fruits. Some seagoing veterans have even used marmalade made from lemon or orange to counteract seasickness.

Moth repellent - Use ripe lemons into which cloves have been stuck to make them look like brown balls of cloves. Put them around in clothes closets and in the pockets of the clothes. They will dry and leave a fine fragrance as well as prevent the moths from getting near them.

Please note: Wherever almond oil is not available, olive oil or sesame seed oil will do nicely when it is to be taken by mouth; otherwise, even cotton seed oil or other vegetable oils may be substituted for external use and for the rectal injection. Only in cases of severe enteritis and colitis is the healing effect of the almond oil preferred, along with the lemon, as a treatment.
