Botanical Name: Citrus limon

Lemon is a plant. The fruit, juice, and peel are used to make medicine.

Herbal tea such as Lemon Peel Tea Bag is used to treat scurvy, a condition caused by not having enough vitamin C. Lemon is also used for the common cold and 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.

In foods, lemon is used as a food and flavoring ingredient especially in herbal tea.

Lemon contains antioxidants called bioflavonoids. Researchers think these bioflavonoids are responsible for the health benefits of lemon.
