Lemon

Lemons, aka Citrus limon, have been used for generations for their therapeutic properties.  Not only are lemons rich in vitamin C, giving them the capability to boost a consumer’s immune system, but they also obtain a wide range of therapeutic properties.  In fact, the Citrus limon essential oil, expressed from the lemon’s fresh peel, has various applications making it a wonderful contribution to aromatherapy as well.

However, back to the nutritious properties of the lemon, it is rich in vitamin B as well, aids in digestion, controls bladder and kidney infections, contains antibacterial and antiviral properties (great for getting rid of infections!), acts as a blood purifier — improving the body’s ability to release toxins (useful for skin problems such as acne!) … and the list goes on!

   TRY THIS:

Drink warm water with fresh lemon juice first thing in the morning as a liver tonic!

Welcome! The Homeopathic Helper is a blog designed to explore natural remedies for the prevention, treatment, and cure of common conditions.

In today’s society, many individuals rely heavily on pharmaceutical companies and  mainstream medicine.  Homeopathy is a natural alternative to this; it works by treating a person as a whole, or holistically.  This means that, although presenting symptoms are still being looked at, homeopathic health approaches consider an individual’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health as well.

Although homeopathic medicines might not be effective in treating all diseased states, it is still important to actively practice holistic health approaches such as herbalism, aromatherapy, yoga, etc.

With this blog, I hope to encourage you to incorporate natural healing remedies into your daily lives with the intent of preventing many of the common ailments of the body.  If you can prevent, you won’t have to treat!
