THE yellow THATS GOOD FOR YOU by doctor Oz

Lemons are one of our greatest, easiest and most affordable ways to take care of ourselves first. This will make you a better person for those around you.

When we add organic lemons into our diet, we get a better working digestive system, a healthier immune system and better-looking skin. We enable the body to remove bad cholesterol, and we create a supportive environment for good bacteria; all of this means the body works more efficiently and effectively.

Here are some extra tips for letting lemons help you out with your health and around the house. Lemons clean all “the insides” – whether it’s the inside of your body, inside your home or inside your car.

Start with your insides: Lemons are an amazing way to keep bad bacteria at bay. When you make my LemonAID – 8 ounces filtered water (heated), juice from half an organic lemon and 2-4 drops of stevia – and consume it upon waking or before bed, you get the bacteria-fighting benefits of lemon juice that improve digestion and support your immune system.


Lemon essential oil-contains potent stress-reducing oils. Add a few drops of this essential oil to water and place in a spray bottle for a relaxing spritz.
Ingredients

1 lemon

Cold-pressed olive oil

Directions

Grate the outside of the lemon over a bowl.

Fill a small glass bottle halfway with the grated lemon zest. Fill the rest of the bottle with olive oil.

Set the bottle on a windowsill or somewhere else that gets a lot of sun. Leave it there for a few days, but shake the bottle a few times per day.

Store lemon oil in an airtight container at room temperature.
