Benefits of Grapefruit Peel
1. Boiled grapefruit peel water for treating childhood pneumonia
After eating the grapefruit, dry the peel and put it in a pot with a few pieces and some water. Do not add too much water. Boil it several times and pour the boiled soup into a bowl for the child to drink. Repeat several times and the child will recover.
2. Boiled grapefruit peel water for treating frostbite
Boil dried grapefruit peel in water until it becomes very concentrated. Use this water to hot compress the frostbite area, but avoid the broken skin.
Pay attention to the temperature of the hot compress. At the beginning, the towel should not be too hot. You can shake off the heat and then apply it.
After the frostbite area adapts, gradually increase the temperature. At the highest temperature, take the towel directly from the pot and hot compress.
This method requires patience and long-term persistence (even if it is healed, it is best to persist until the end of this winter), which can promote the recovery of frostbite and effectively prevent or reduce recurrence in the coming year.
3. Insect repellent
Remove the white fibers on the inside of the peel, put it in a ventilated place to dry, and then dry the moisture.
Store it in a bag with small holes and place it in the corner of the wardrobe or rice bin to prevent mosquitoes and insects.
4. Removes odor
Put grapefruit peel in the refrigerator to remove the odor!
5. Grapefruit peel bath liquid
Homemade grapefruit peel bath liquid not only saves money, but also keeps the skin away from the harm of artificial chemicals. The most important thing is that it has superb cosmetic effects.
