Lemons grow in abundance in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Mexico and the West Indies. Ayurveda regards lemon as a valuable fruit. Lemon is sour, warm, a promoter of gastric fire, light, good for the vision, pungent and astringent. It checks the excessive flow of bile and cleanses the mouth. It prevents vomiting, throat trouble, acidity and rheumatism.
Though lemon is acidic in taste, it leaves off alkaline residues in the body. This is why it is useful in all symptoms of acidosis.
It also contains vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin P, niacin and thiamin.
The body is well cleansed if lemon juice and water is taken on an empty stomach early in the morning.
Lemon also contains more potassium than apples or grapes, which is very beneficial to the heart. In addition to this the vitamin C content of lemon helps considerably in calcium metabolism - therefore good for our bones.

Fave Taoist poem by Chade Meng
The breaths of a lifetime
A lifetime is not what is between the moments of birth and death.
A lifetime is one moment between my two little breaths.
The present, the here, the now, that's all the life I get.
I live each moment in full, in kindness, in peace, without regret.
Today I am grateful for;
- beams, which have been finalized
- the pizza I had for dinner
- gorgeous pics of Kent and Morgan I received yesterday
- the fabulous pressie my cuz gave me (will always treasure it - thanx)
- the Tibetan Tea House
- Southern Wright
- December and the silly season
- the surprise, special necklace my BFF gave me
Celebrate your life and shyne like a star .......
Peace'nwhirlpools of luv
