The juice of a fresh lemon was sometimes recommended by Edgar Cayce to improve circulation, assimilation and elimination. Here are some simple instructions given by Cayce for using lemon juice as a therapy:

“Immediately on arising [in the morning] roll a lemon and cut in two. Eat a portion of it – without salt – half of it – all the juice from same – then walk just as far as possible, AWAY FROM THE HOUSE – not so far that the body is not sure of making it back, see? When the body has returned, sprinkle salt on the other half of lemon and eat it. Then drink ALL the water POSSIBLE following same. Not before, but AFTER the last half is eaten. Then sit down, or lie down, and rest until the body feels entirely relaxed before the first meal is taken. Add only that. We will find this acid, combining with that as is created in system and as is being eliminated from system, will reduce not only the pulsation as caused from the reaction to the heart’s forces, but will assist in CLEANSING system of the poisons from same.” (4999-2)
