Lemons – those vibrant, citrusy fruits that bring a burst of flavor to our dishes and drinks – are not just a kitchen staple. These seemingly humble fruits actually pack a powerful punch when it comes to health and wellness. A simple squeeze of lemon juice can elevate the nutritional value of any meal and boost your overall health. Read on to uncover the myriad benefits and healing potential of the unassuming lemon.
Energy Booster
The energy we get from our food comes from a reaction when cationic (positively charged ions) food enters the digestive tract and encounters anionic (negatively charged ions) digestive enzymes. An ion is the part of a molecule that carries an electrical charge.
Lemons are one of the rare foods that are classified as anionic, meaning they have a higher number of electrons (negatively charged ions) in their atomic structure. Our saliva, bile and digestive juices are also anionic, which explains why lemons are so good for our digestion and energy production.
NOTE: It is important to highlight that pasteurized and packaged lemon juice is cationic and is therefore not effective as a health remedy.
Alkalising Agent
A lemon is acidic before it's ingested. After it's been processed by the body it has an alkalising effect. There is a direct relationship between our PH balance, how akaline or acidic we are, and our voltage. Our cells need a very specific amount of voltage to work properly. If your cells dont have adequate voltage, they cant metabolise oxygen. By keeping your body slightly alkalised you are optimising your body’s voltage, which is essential for
sustained physical and mental activity and healing wounds quicker.

Skin Improver
Lemons are a secret weapon for radiant skin. The vitamin C in lemons helps in collagen production, promoting skin elasticity and combating signs of aging. A homemade lemon face mask can rejuvenate your skin and give you a healthy glow.
Mood Booster
The invigorating scent of lemons is known to uplift the mood and reduce stress and anxiety. Whether in essential oil form or simply by adding lemon to your water or diffuser, this citrus fruit can brighten your day and improve your overall wellbeing.
Immune System Supporter
Incorporating lemons into your daily diet can significantly enhance your immune system's strength. The combination of vitamin C and antioxidants in lemons helps the body fight off infections and maintain optimal health.
Liver Cleanser
One of the lesser-known benefits of lemons is their ability to support liver health. The liver is responsible for processing various substances we consume, such as food, beverages, additives, medicines, drugs, alcohol, and pollutants in our environment. The citric acid in lemons aids in flushing out toxins from the liver, promoting detoxification and improving overall liver function.
Given the constant bombardment of toxins in our modern daily lives, it comes as no shock that many individuals experience a congested liver. Liver congestion can lead to both physical and emotional symptoms...
Physical Signs
Muscle tension, spasms and cramps
Headaches, especially in the temples or behind the eyes
Ringing in the ears (tinitus)
Dryness in eyes, mouth, sinuses and skin
Difficulty relaxing and sleeping
Waking between 1 and 3 am
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Menstrual disorders, PMS (pre menstral sysdrome)
Chronic indigestion, belching or gas after meals, especially after oily or greasy foods
Dizziness, vertigo
Tremors or shaking
Emotional Signs
Feeling overwhelmed and overly sensitive
Depression, feeling irritable, agitated, angry or emotionally volatile, manic
Feeling of nervousness, agitation, restlessness, uneasiness, unsettled or "wound up”
Lack of motivation, lack of adventure, feeling stuck in a rut
Lack of patience and good judgement
Difficulty making decisions
Inability to keep commitments
Addictions and self sabotaging behaviour
Non-beneficial emotional attachments
