Health benefits
Gallstones
Gallstones form as a result of digestive fluids that accumulate in the gallbladder. This causes pain and affects digestion. The removing of gallstones usually requires a surgery. But, we have a solution to your problem. You can remove the stones by consuming the mixture of three parts olive oil, one part lemon, and one part pepper.
Flu and common cold
Add the juice of half lemon to a cup of boiling water to relieve common cold. Steep the pulp and peel in the water too. Steep for 10 minutes, remove the pulp and the peel, use honey as an organic sweetener and drink your healing potion.
Nausea
Add a tablespoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of black pepper to a glass of warm water to relieve nausea. Compounds in black pepper soothe the stomach, and the lemon scent will diminish your nausea.
Asthma attacks
Add 2 cloves, 10 pepper grains and 15 basil leaves to boiling water. Turn the heat on low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the liquid, and transfer it to a glass jar with a lid. Sweeten with honey and use it every day to relieve your asthma.
Sore throat
Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, half a teaspoon of black pepper and a teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm water. Gargle the solution to soothe a sore throat and prevent/treat a cough.
Sores
Gargle a warm solution of warm water and a tablespoon of Himalayan pink salt to accelerate the healing process of sores and eliminate dangerous bacteria.
Toothache
Combine half a teaspoon of ground black pepper and clove oil. Apply it on your aching tooth, and the pain will disappear within a few minutes.
Weight loss
Combine two tablespoons of lemon juice, a quarter tablespoon of ground pepper, and one tablespoon of organic honey in a glass of warm water. Polyphenols in lemon prevent weight gain, boost metabolism, and keep your insulin under control.
Stuffy nose
This remedy stimulates sneezing and unclogs a stuffy nose. All you have to do is work some cumin, pepper, cinnamon and cardamom in a mortar, and smell the scents.
Nosebleed
Dip a cotton ball in fresh lemon juice, and put it in your nostril. Tilt your head backwards to prevent blood from entering your throat. This also relieves nausea and stops the bleeding in a minute.
