Lemons — they’re sour, aromatic, and juicy. Contrary to popular belief, though, these little citrus fruits can be utilized in more ways than making lemonade or as a kitchen staple. There are many unusual and resourceful applications that may surprise you! Here are some fun and creative uses for lemons around the house and for your health and wellness! Fight Off Bugs Pests like ants, mosquitoes, and spiders enjoy summertime, but insects can make humans miserable. Citrus oil found in lemon peels is a natural bug repellent. In fact, the scent alone keeps them away. Place lemon peels on your counters, windowsills, and the nooks and crannies of your house to keep bugs out! Stick-No-More How often have you cooked rice in a pot on the stove, only to have it stick to the bottom of the pan? So frustrating! Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to your rice’s boiling water to prevent this grain from sticking! Remove Blemishes Did you know that lemon juice is a natural astringent? Applying just a tiny amount after cleaning and drying your skin clears pores and removes oil and dirt that can lead to acne and zits. Freshen Your Breath Lemon juice is an excellent tool for combating bad breath. Drinking lemon water can help fight odor-causing bacteria in your mouth. Because lemon juice can erode the enamel on your teeth, follow it up with some plain water! Clean Your Microwave Try this hack if you have food buildup in your microwave. In a bowl, combine water, lemon juice, and slices of lemon. Heat the mixture in your microwave on high for three minutes, remove the bowl, and wipe the microwave’s interior clean! You’ll be surprised just how easily the residue cleans up! Breathe Easier When you’re sick, one of the most frustrating things is congestion. Drink lemon juice and hot water to reduce phlegm, soothe the throat, and relieve other cold symptoms. Squeeze the Day Juicy Uses for Lemons
