Lemon seeds have been used in Ayurveda to support gut motility and reduce bloating.
🌿 How to make it:
Add 4–5 clean lemon seeds to a jar of water.
Let steep overnight in the fridge.
Strain and drink ¼ cup before meals.
Note: Do not consume seeds—just the infused water.
📌 Why it works: Seeds contain mild carminative properties that may ease gas and support liver function.
2. DIY Face Mask for Oily or Acne-Prone Skin
Lemon seeds are rich in antioxidants and citric acid, which help exfoliate and clarify skin.
🧖 Exfoliating Seed Scrub:
Grind 2–3 dried lemon seeds into a fine powder (use a coffee grinder).
Mix with 1 tsp honey + 1 tsp yogurt.
Gently massage onto damp skin, then rinse.
Use 1x/week—avoid if you have sensitive or broken skin.
💡 Bonus: The fine texture acts as a gentle physical exfoliant without microplastics.
3. Natural Pest Repellent for Your Garden
Gardeners in Southern Europe have long used citrus seeds to deter ants, aphids, and soft-bodied insects.
🌱 Citrus Seed Spray:
Blend 10 lemon seeds with 1 cup water.
Strain and add 1 tsp castile soap (to help it stick).
Spray on plant leaves (avoid direct sun to prevent burning).
Reapply after rain.
🐜 Science note: Limonene in seeds disrupts insect nervous systems—non-toxic to pets and bees when used moderately.
