From an Ayurvedic perspective, Lemon has cleansing properties. It is known for its high Vitamin C content. The citric acid helps to improve digestive disorders. It is sour in taste and has a heating effect on the body therefore #can increase Pitta dosha if over consumed.
Vitamin C is helpful in the absorption of Iron a good reason to squirt some lemon juice for seasoning over your kitchari.
At the clinic we use lemons for our most loved treatment called Jambeera Pinda Sveda.
This unique ayurvedic treatment is done by preparing a medicinal lemon poultice with herbs prepared in a bundle and used to massage into the body. Heat, pressure and oil are applied simultaneously. So great for treating muscle stiffness, spasm, strains and joint pains.
