Lemon Peel

Physical use

A strong, pungent smell helps remove stagnancy, enhance circulation, and stimulate appetite and metabolism. It can also relax the tissues of the digestive tract, which is why it was traditionally used for cramps and gas.

Next time you make hot water with lemon juice, be sure to add the peel as well! This is especially beneficial in winter to support healthy waste elimination when our diets tend to be a bit heavier.
