Will lemons help a sore throat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes it does.

Lemon (like other citrus fruits) contain high levels of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps boost your immune system.

The higher levels of vitamin C you take in, the less likely you are to get colds and other diseases.

Its very interesting the power vitamin C. It has strong healing qualitiies. Almost every animal (but a handful) make their own vitamin C. Because of this, they are rarely have things like cancer, heart disease, etc. It is also hypothesized that humans once made their own vitamin C, but due to DNA mutation, we cannot anymore.

This may explain why people recorded in the Bible were able to live for 400,500, 700+ years!
