Skin

Cucumbers are a terrific vegetable with many medicinal uses.  Cucumbers are excellent for the

skin, especially for the complexion.  Either eaten or used topically, they cool and heal the skin.

Cucumbers can release toxins from the eyes.  Simply place a slice of cucumber on the eye and cup with the hands - turn the cucumber over after five minutes and hold for a total of ten minutes.

The sting and tears released are an indication that the cucumber is doing its work.

 

Cucumbers are great for Sjogrens Syndrome.  I juice a lot of cucumbers with carrots. Cucumbers

are also good for the joints.  They can relieve the achiness and soothe joints.

 

One third teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg, one teaspoon of honey, and four of five ounces of

hot water taken three mornings in a row,  and then take a three day break.  Continue for nine more days.  This helps with boils and pimples of the skin.

 

For facial pimples,  make a mask of Epsom salts and water.  Pat on the affected area with

cotton befoe bedtime.  Repeat as often as you like until pimples are gone.
