Lets speak about the power of lemon. Lemon is a superfood that doesn't get enough credit for the potent medicine that it is.
Lemon supports the immune system, with natural vitamin C and flavanoids particularly their peels, which have strong antioxidant and antibacterial effects.
Lemons are high in vitamin C, fibre, and various beneficial plant compounds. One lemon provides about 31 mg of vitamin C.
( If you feel like you need an extra boost of vitamin C, we have a high absorption liposomal product available HERE)
These nutrients are responsible for several health benefits. In fact, lemons may support heart health, weight control, and digestive health.
Research shows that eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Lemon helps to enhance digestive enzymes, increase digestive function, detox the liver, and cleanse your receptors to enhance the absorption and benefits of your Ubuntu products.
(Please note that vitamin C and enzymes are destroyed over 37 degrees so ensure you don't heat your lemon and lose the benefits)
Ayurveda recommends squeezing lemon over your food to enhance digestion by supporting bile production and the function of the liver.
Here is some information on cleansing to support the optimal benefits of your Ubuntu products.
This is a basic cleanse to start with and good to use at regular intervals to ensure clear receptors.
It is beneficial for general health and ensures that the Cannabanoid receptors are clear and functioning optimally.
RECEPTOR CLEANSE: Start each day by drinking a glass of warm, clean, filtered water or spring water with a pinch of Himalayan or Celtic sea salt first thing in the morning to ensure you are hydrated.
If you have been a long-term user of pain medication your pain receptors may have become blocked and your body may require additional assistance to cleanse them.
To aid this process, we recommend drinking fresh orange juice with at least half of the skin grated into the juice, 3 times per week.
Alternatively, you may grate lemon skin and add this to smoothies or warm drinks. We also encourage you to eat mangoes, drink plenty of lemongrass tea and incorporate hemp seeds into your daily diet.
