Benefits of cucumber:
- can be used for skin problems because of its diuretic, cooling and cleansing property
- To reduce heartburn or sooth acid stomach, drink fresh cucumber juice. The same applies for people suffering from gastritis or ulcer.
- To reduce swelling and soothe the eyes, place a cucumber slice over closed eyes.
- Cucumber juice, when taken daily may help to control cases of eczema, arthritis and gout.

I thought that as the person that referred you to MyLot that I would look at your discussions and respond to any that had my interest. Health is one of my interests so I am responding to this discussion. Anyway, the only use I have ever heard of healthwise for cucumber slices has to do with the eyes.
As for internal uses I have heard about their diuretic properties. I would have to do more research into the use of cucumber. Take care.

uses of the slices? umm interesting one, i suppose you could dry them out and leave them to go rock solid and then use them as tiny discus's.
secondly give them to your girlfriend who can stick them on her eyes for some unknown reason, while she's blind you can put the football on silently and she'll be none the wiser.
Thirdly in emergencys you can get thousands of them together and build a raft because cucumber floats
