Hi Baluyadav,
Lemon is very high in Vitamin C, which is essential in repair of body. It is also a refreshing drink in summers and can be used to give great taste to various foods and salads. The main benefits of Lemon are:
1. Remove Unpleasant Odor From Bowls and Cutleries
2. Remove Coffee and Oil Stains
3. Turning a Black Wok Base Shiny
4. Remove Yellow Stains in the Toilet Sink
5.Smoothen Your Skin
6. Natural Air Refresher
There are more uses of lemon too apart from all i listed here but that would make this discussion too lengthy.

Lemon juice is a Vitamin C drink and it's good for your health. Also, it has a good taste for marinating grilled foods. Yummy!!!

HI Agrim 94, You have a lot of great idea to use lemons. I have a good one for you. If you ever burn something in your microwave oven. You can use a 1/2 cup of lemon juice a cap full of vanilla with a 1/2 cup water in a bowl. Put a clean dish towel in it to soak up the liquid. Then you need to ring it out but not to much after you get done there put it in the microwave over for 2 mins. When it is done let it set until it cools to the touch so you can use it to wipe it out. Depends how bad it was you might have to repeat. You can also use backing soda to clean your item's too. I still think lemon is better in iced tea. So drink up and have a great night.

Lemons are my favorite fruit. My siblings and I grew up sucking on these deliciously sour treats. Now that I have kids of my own, each of them get one in their Christmas stocking every year.
YUM!

Lemon is rich in VitaminC and apart from this helath effect it enhances the taste in many dishes.Many side dishes taste heavenly with just a dash of lime in it.
It can be used for making energy drinks. THis apart it is ideally suited for pickles. It is used in a main course dish, side dish, a health drink and also for beauty purposes.

Speaking for myself (and many many other people) do not enjoy eating lemons plain, but as many other people have listed, there are many other uses, either as an ingredient in foods, or as a cleaning agent, but as you intimated, lemon does not agree with your body. Oranges are a wonderful substitute that might be able to provide many, if not all of the same benefits to your diet. Unless of course it is the acid in the citrus fruits that cause you the issue. If this is the case, have you ever heard of blood oranges? they provide much of the same benefits with their high percentage of vitamin c, but have much less acid in the,, which is often what causes digestion issues in people.
In closure, i just want to share my favorite use for lemons. To any of you have who a garbage disposal machine in your sink, lemons work great for cleaning and freshening up any of the foul orders that sometimes occur. Just take a few slices, throw them in the disposal, run the water and flip the switch for a few seconds, and then you will have a clean, sweet smelling sink again!

I have heard that Lemon is good for the skin so I use it as much as possible but in limited Quantities. I often use it with my food items. I have also heard that lemon also helps in regulating the blood pressure of body. Lemon is just so good for health.We should use it despite of the very sour taste.

Hi friend, How is everything in your life? We miss you when you are not around!
I use lemon in my cooking, drinks and I clean many cooking utensils with the remains of in. I also use the lemon rind a lot to flavor cakes and desserts.
Besides having vitamin C (which I don´t think lemon will give me too much as I don´t use it in great quantities) I like it.

We can make a big list of uses of lemon.
1. it can be used as a refreshing drink
2. its rind, after sun drying and powder with green gram makes a good bathing powder which keeps the skin soft, and acts as a scrubber too.
3.Its rind dried with sikakai, and powdered makes a good hair washing powder and acts as a good hair conditioner . Also we can add 1 teaspoon juice to one mug of water to rinse the hair in final hair wash to leave a soft and shining hair
4. Dried rind powder mixed with salt can be used as a tooth powder to keep the teeth sparkling white and free from tooth problems
5. It can be used as a pickle

Hello Baluyadav,
I love using when mopping my floor. It has good scent and in cooking like chicken.
Also lemon pies and bars and lemon margue pie with all that whip cream on top.
It is very tart and tangy but good on hot summer day. Lemonade during the summer fresh squeezed with some sugar.
Thanks and have a great day!
