Treating acne

contributed by Ethnomedica 20 Jan | 18:42


Lemons can be used to treat a lot of skin complaints, especially acne and the like.
Save lemon rinds after the juice has been squeezed out and put them in a jug with a bit of honey. Pour boiling water over them. The proportions? Well, at least one lemon to a pint of water. Leave to infuse and either drink or use as a wash.
