google will answer this better. But, lemons are the bitter and bigger version of limes.

Lemons have great health benefits too. I just started taking an early morning drink of lemon, lime and ginger. I hear its a great detox. I haven't seen the effect yet sha. Too early to see I guess

Lime might be good for the gum but its not advisable to use it as it will definitely get to the enamel and corrode it. Lime also increases teeth sensitivity.

The main nutrient
that promotes hair growth is Vitamin C,
which is present in limes in large amount.
Addition of lime juice to various oils and
its application promotes hair growth...

Dandruff is, undoubtedly, one of the most
common hair problems. It is a condition
characterized by excess flaking of the
scalp. Lime juice is often used as an
ingredient in anti-dandruff shampoos .
Citric acid present in lime juice has been
found to be very effective and beneficial
in dealing with dandruff issues. To get rid
of dandruff problem, rub lime slice
directly on the scalp. Rinsing hair with
lime juice added to water also helps in
removing dandruff. Lime juice can
sometimes dry your scalp. In such a case,
you can combine it with olive oil, coconut
oil or almond oil..... Goodluck dear

okay .. for a glowing complexion, all you need to
do is have a glass of lukewarm water with
some honey and freshly squeezed lime
juice early in the morning regularly. This
will provide an inner glow to your skin... and as for diabetes ,According to the American Diabetes
Association, citrus fruits like lime are
beneficial for diabetics, due to several
reasons. Firstly, the high levels of soluble
fiber in limes help regulate the body’s
absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
This prevents the occurrence of blood
sugar spike, which are risky for diabetic
patients. Secondly, like most citrus fruits,
limes have a low glycemic index. They do
not cause unexpected spikes in glucose
levels, thus adding to the benefits for
diabetic patients... long comment for ur own good... wink#
Re: 34 Amazing Benefits Of Lime by Nobody: 3:58pm On Oct 28, 2014
ulcers generally develop in the
inner lining of your stomach, esophagus
and upper small intestines, leading to a
lot of abdominal pain. The acids in lime
help reduce gastric acidity by causing an
alkaline reaction in the digestive system.
Besides Vitamin C, limes contain
flavonoids, such as limonoids like Limonin
Glucoside ,which possess anti-oxidant,
antibiotic, anti-carcinogenic and
detoxifying properties that facilitate quick
healing of peptic and oral ulcers... ladies that has not conceived bfor are not adviced to take lime frequently...like me i take it twice a week. but i dnt really think it has side effect for males

Nice thread. Pls how can i use it for Treating dark spots? Can i use it for acne too?
tnks miss.. Lime juice is considered as a natural
bleaching agent due to its skin lightening
properties. It can be used to lighten dark
spots . All you need to do is apply it with a
cotton ball to the darkened portions of
your skin and leave it for 30 minutes.
However, ensure to stay indoors and
avoid direct exposure to sunlight as this
remedy can make your skin sensitive to
sunlight.Also, it is advisable to apply sunscreen
before venturing out. You can also use
this remedy to lighten dark underarms.

Acne and
pimples are common problems for people
with oily skin,To keep
acne and pimples at bay, you can prepare
a face pack of lime juice with honey.
While honey possesses anti-bacterial
properties that prevent the growth of
bacteria, the acidic nature of lime juice
will control excess oil. This face pack
should be used every week as part of
your skincare regimen. The scars left by
pimples can be lightened by massaging
some fresh lime juice on them.. i'd like to get a feedback frm u.
