Lemon helps to detoxify the liver. It improves digestion, and helps balance blood sugar and stimulate the pancreas and liver.
It is an internal aid for kidney and bladder infections, and a choice herbal remedy for nephritis. I like to include a few drops of lemon in any kidney formula.
Lemon is also a great lymphatic and circulatory stimulant; it helps to detoxify the lymphatic system when taken internally over time.
Energetically, lemon helps to improve mental clarity. It stimulates the brain and all of the senses, and can help us stay alert. Its fresh aroma can automatically brighten any environment as it clears out bacteria and molds, leaving a clean atmosphere.
