Reasons to Drink Lemon Water #1

Fresh Aloe Gel is a Natural Sunburn Soother

Before you enjoy a long fun-in-the-sun holiday weekend, here’s a natural sunburn soother. Fresh aloe gel is soothing to sunburned skin. If you don’t already have an aloe plant, you can purchase one inexpensively from a garden center or nursery. Snip off one of the fronds, squeeze out the gel and apply to your skin. Fresh aloe is better than a store-bought product because the gel’s ability to soothe decreases rapidly after it has been extracted. If the soothing effect wears off, reapply.

Capsaicin is Good for Arthritis and Muscle Aches

Capsaicin is good for arthritis and muscle aches. Capsaicin is derived from hot chile peppers, and when placed into a topical cream, gives many people relief from the pain of arthritis or muscle strain. Capsaicin works by depleting a substance that helps transmit the sensation of pain from the peripheral to the central nervous system, so it may take a few days before you experience relief if you have not used capsaicin before.
