The magical uses for lemons and all their wonders
71Lemon
When life gives you lemons.....
You can do anything you want!!! But seriously, I have been driving my family completely crazy with lemons since I discovered all their insanely awesome and powerful uses! The house, it smells like lemons! The laundry, it smells like lemons! The baby toys, they smell like lemons. Even my face smells like lemons! Oh, and the cat box, which is way better than the other option...
Numero 1 use for lemons: Kicks an ear infections butt!
Rather than giving my baby sister anymore antibiotics, my mom started dropping lemon juice into her ear. It works like a charm! This little girl has tubes in her ears from all her ear infections, she is immune to pretty much all the antibiotics out there because of all the ear infections this poor girl has had. So, my mom started dropping lemon juice into here ear every night. She stopped having ear infections and is now living a very happy life!
TWO!: It makes a wonderful facial cleanser and exfoliate.
See, what you do is take organic sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Rinse your face with warm water to open the pores. Rub the sugar on your face and neck, then take a cotton ball or pad, dip it in lemon juice and rub on your face. Rinse with cool water to close your pores and your done! I do it about once a week and I love it. It makes my face so soft and it helps to diminish freckles (which I have) and age spots (which I don't have).
3. Natural bleach!
It works wonders in the laundry to reduce the appearance of stains. I use it on my baby's clothes because I just don't feel quite right about bleaching them.. It also helps get rid of stains on Tupperware, and polish pans and pots.
ALSO
You can even put lemon juice in your hair. Stand outside for a few hours and it will gradually lighten your hair color.
4. Natural Disinfectant:
Lemons freak'n eliminate germs! I rub lemon juice on all my baby's toys so they are clean of yucky germs, and also they taste good when she puts them in her mouth. It is also how I disinfect bottles that i don't feel like boiling. I used to wash them with soap but the bottles always smelled like the soap afterward and weirded me out so I had to boil them anyways. Now I just poor lemon juice in them, scrub them a bit, let them sit for an hour or so and they smell clean and fresh!
5: Natural bug Repellent:
Washing you floors with lemon juice once a week will repel ants and cockroaches. Which is great because I have a huge cockroach problem where I live! I don't want my baby around those pesticides so I just wash the floors with lemon juice and leave lemon peels near entry ways and wherever I believe they are getting in at.
6: Natural Odor Blocker:
I put lemon peels in the trash and the cat liter box to block odors. It works great for about 3 days then I have to replace them. It also leave a wonderful lemon scent in the air!
Well this concludes my obsession of lemons, for now anyways. I will probably make a part two that will be slightly better written for I wont write it at 12 o'clock at night. I hope you enjoyed and I truly hope you gained knowledge and will practice at least one of these!
Love,
