Lime might be good for the gum but its not advisable to use it as it will definitely get to the enamel and corrode it. Lime also increases teeth sensitivity. 1 Like |

adewoyinameena:Dandruff is, undoubtedly, one of the most common hair problems. It is a condition characterized by excess flaking of the scalp. Lime juice is often used as an ingredient in anti-dandruff shampoos . Citric acid present in lime juice has been found to be very effective and beneficial in dealing with dandruff issues. To get rid of dandruff problem, rub lime slice directly on the scalp. Rinsing hair with lime juice added to water also helps in removing dandruff. Lime juice can sometimes dry your scalp. In such a case, you can combine it with olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil..... Goodluck dear |

Re: 34 Amazing Benefits Of Lime by Nobody: 8:36am On Oct 28, 2014 |
Hoyinkansola sweetie just tell me how to go about that of Glowing skin and diabetes... I need the former asap |
Re: 34 Amazing Benefits Of Lime by Nobody: 3:53pm On Oct 28, 2014 |
ikeola6:okay .. for a glowing complexion, all you need to do is have a glass of lukewarm water with some honey and freshly squeezed lime juice early in the morning regularly. This will provide an inner glow to your skin... and as for diabetes ,According to the American Diabetes Association, citrus fruits like lime are beneficial for diabetics, due to several reasons. Firstly, the high levels of soluble fiber in limes help regulate the body’s absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. This prevents the occurrence of blood sugar spike, which are risky for diabetic patients. Secondly, like most citrus fruits, limes have a low glycemic index. They do not cause unexpected spikes in glucose levels, thus adding to the benefits for diabetic patients... long comment for ur own good... wink# |

ulcers generally develop in the inner lining of your stomach, esophagus and upper small intestines, leading to a lot of abdominal pain. The acids in lime help reduce gastric acidity by causing an alkaline reaction in the digestive system. Besides Vitamin C, limes contain flavonoids, such as limonoids like Limonin Glucoside ,which possess anti-oxidant, antibiotic, anti-carcinogenic and detoxifying properties that facilitate quick healing of peptic and oral ulcers... ladies that has not conceived bfor are not adviced to take lime frequently...like me i take it twice a week. but i dnt really think it has side effect for males 1 Like |

Nice thread. Pls how can i use it for Treating dark spots? Can i use it for acne too? |
Re: 34 Amazing Benefits Of Lime by Nobody: 12:55am On Oct 29, 2014 |
missberrypop5:tnks miss.. Lime juice is considered as a natural bleaching agent due to its skin lightening properties. It can be used to lighten dark spots . All you need to do is apply it with a cotton ball to the darkened portions of your skin and leave it for 30 minutes. However, ensure to stay indoors and avoid direct exposure to sunlight as this remedy can make your skin sensitive to sunlight.Also, it is advisable to apply sunscreen before venturing out. You can also use this remedy to lighten dark underarms. Acne and pimples are common problems for people with oily skin,To keep acne and pimples at bay, you can prepare a face pack of lime juice with honey. While honey possesses anti-bacterial properties that prevent the growth of bacteria, the acidic nature of lime juice will control excess oil. This face pack should be used every week as part of your skincare regimen. The scars left by pimples can be lightened by massaging some fresh lime juice on them.. i'd like to get a feedback frm u. 1 Like 1 Share |
