46. Clean your coffee maker by adding lemon juice and water to the water tank and allowing it to run through its normal cycle. Then run another cycle of plain water, and then wash the pot.

47.  Remove odors and stains from plastic storage containers by rubbing them with lemons, then allowing them to dry in the sun.

48. To prevent rice sticking, add one tablespoon of lemon juice to the water while the rice is being cooked. No more clumpy rice!

49. Make a super meat marinade by mixing lemon juice and your favorite oils and herbs. The lemon juice will slightly break down the meat so that your oil and spices can better penetrate it.

50. Stop skin rashes, such as poison ivy, by soaking a cotton ball in lemon juice and applying it directly to the affected area.

51. Ditch those toxic air fresheners. A bowl full of fresh lemons will add a splash of color and add natural fragrance to a room for days.

52.  Potassium is super beneficial to the heart and lowers blood pressure by removing salt from the blood stream. Lemons have more potassium than an apple or grapes!

53.  Because lemons were once very rare in certain regions of the world, they were often offered as gifts to kings! A few lemons in a pretty bowl or jar tied with a beautiful ribbon are also a great gift for friends!

54. Your liver simply loves lemons! They stimulate the production of bile and help the liver to detoxify itself.

55. Lemons are natural diuretics which can help to flush bacteria and toxins from the body. This means they can help treat edema, arthritis, and rheumatism.
