The Wonders of the Lemon Tree

-


Citrus is a genus comprising some 16 species of trees. The more known species are Lime, Lemon, Grape and Tangerine. Lemon has many medicinal properties. The leaf is rich in aromatic essence: limonene and linadol. The rind contains 0.5% essential oil, which comprises limonene, coumarines and flavonoids. The juice contains Vitamin B1, B2 and C, flavonoids and organic acids.
A lot of research has been done on this plant. Its medicinal properties are scientifically proven and recognized. The parts of this lemon tree have their different curative functions which we discussed below:
The Lemon Leaves:
Lemon leaves are sedative and antispasmodic. Those who suffer from insomnia, nervousness and palpitation should soak five to seven leaves in a teacup of hot water and allow it to infuse for 15 minutes. The dosage is one cup twice daily.
The Fruit Rind:
Lemon rind is good remedy for lack of appetite, indigestion, constipation and typhoid fever and it is a good worm expellant. Add the rind of 10 lemons to four liters of water and bring to boil. Take a cup thrice daily.
The Juice:
Lemon Juice is an excellent remedy for scurvy, a disease caused by lack of Vitamin C. Drink half a glass of lemon juice twice daily. You may sweeten it with honey if you wish. For indigestion, mix half a glass of lemon juice with half a glass of water and drink daily. This stimulates the activities of the digestive organs and strengthens the system.
In the subsequent articles we will write more about the wonders of Lemon. Stay healthy always.

He studied at the University of Ibadan; it is from Ibadan that he got to write a poem about Ibadan, and it is from here that he developed as a poet. Analysis of the Poem This is a poem about the city, Ibadan. This Ibadan is in South West, Nigeria. It is in the state of Oyo. It is an ancient city that had been in existence even before the coming of the British. As the city is old, the houses of the city are dirty and the roofs are rusted. This is also an unplanned city. The persona begins by describing Ibadan as running splash of rust: that is, Ibadan is filled with rust; rust here symbolizes old and ancient. The color of this rust is that of “gold” which the persona shows. The use of “scattered” shows disorderliness of houses in the city. Then, the seven hills are the seven hills that surround the city. “Like Broken China in the Sun” represents the disorderliness and the scattered plan of the city. ...
