Lemon is used to treat scurvy, a condition caused by not having enough vitamin C. Lemon is also used for the common cold and flu, H1N1 (swine) flu, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), Meniere's disease, and kidney stones. It is also used to aid digestion, reduce pain and swelling (inflammation), improve the function of blood vessels, and increase urination to reduce fluid retention.

One thing about lemons, oranges and citrus in general: their peels are precious, containing hesperidin and other flavonoids which are protective against CVD, oxydative stress and a host of other afflictions (fruit must be untreated of course).

One efficient way to loose weight is the 'acid breakfast': with an empty stomach, squeeze one or two lemons, than drink the pure juice with a straw put as far down in your throat as possible. The acidity wont' damage the teeth and will temporarily paralyze your stomach, keeping hunger away. At least it was so when I followed this practice. Not too advised to those afflicted by gastritis.
