    calamansi5.jpgCitrus Bioflavonoids

    Most of us would like to have an affordable supplement that would help us maintain good respiratory health. Citrus bioflavonoids are a group of antioxidants which have been used in folklore medicine and which also been investigated by modern medicine. General properties of citrus bioflavonoids:

    1. Respiratory health

    2. Hastens the repair of tissues and has been useful in reducing the duration of damage from injuries, especially sports injuries

    3. It helps improve our natural defense against infectious diseases

    4. If applied locally, it can help whiten the skin – maybe a good substitute for gluthathione

    Citrus fruits such as calamansi (Citrus microcarpa), dalandan and lemon are just the common sources of citrus bioflavonoids. The rind of citrus fruits is a rich source of bioflavonoids. Taken daily it will help strengthen our immune system.

    Calamansi Juice with more citrus bioflavonoids.

    Buy calamansi, which is almost always available. Squeeze the juice of about 5 medium pieces, save the squeezed fruit (rind) and remove the seeds. Blend the rind with a small amount of water and strain. This material is your added citrus bioflavonoid which you can either mix with your drink or rub on your skin with a small amount of soap to whiten it. Simple and affordable.

    If you want to make a body soap solution with this material mix the strained, blended rind with soap chips (use your favorite bath soap) and blend the soap chips ( or grated soap) and blend -you have a body soap solution for whitening your skin.Warning:test a small amount of the mixture on your forearm because too much rind juice will irritate the skin. Find the dilution that will not be irritating to your skin.

    Dear Doc Emil,

    I’ve been extracting the juices of cucumber, green apple, celery, bell pepper, and ampalaya to make ‘Wonder Juice’ as recommended by my friend. I am just wondering kung saan ko pa po kaya pwedeng magamit ang mga pinagkatasan na cucumber, celery, apple, ampalaya at bell pepper?

    Same with carrot juice, after extracting the juice, itinatapon ko lang po ang sapal ng carrots. Meron po ba akong pwedeng paggamitan nito?

    Thanks and more power…

    From Doc Emil: It can b a source of fiber but these residues must be dried and powdered may be put in a capsule for supplemental fiber.
