Commonly known as the fruit that evokes images of sunshine and the sweet smiles of children standing roadside at their homemade lemonade stands, lemons are also loved by adults as they are known for their healthful benefits. Lemon juice is in fact the most important therapy to be used in different cases of infection of the respiratory tract and as a general tonic. Be sure to choose firm, clear colored lemons that have not begun to wither in making a lemonade. However, we are talking about organic lemons that are tree ripened. If you are buying commercial lemons from the store, know the quality of the lemons you buy so that you’ll know one way or another whether the lemons you are purchasing are actually therapeutic for you.
