People have been using natural ingredients to soothe and treat various health conditions for thousands of years. Some of these ingredients can be found in every’s person kitchen, including lemon, salt, and pepper.
Salt is great at moving water out of the body’s tissues, which can lower both inflammation and pain caused by inflammation.
Lemon juice and the peel are also beneficial because of the antioxidant content and the way it cuts through congestion.

On the other site, lemon can open up blocked sinuses, but don’t snort it. Adding black pepper or cayenne pepper in it can stimulate the nose to run, and loosen dried mucus.
3.Nausea
The strong smell of lemon is able to help ease nausea and it promotes constriction of the gastric tissue to move whatever is causing your trouble into your digestive tract.
Cayenne pepper also helps stimulate gastric secretion and the movement of the esophagus. Also, the small amount of salt will help drain off the toxins from the stomach tissue that may be causing the problem.
4.Toothache
The salt will drain out the fluid from the swollen gums and the pepper can provide some pain relief.

Lemon backs it up with a punch of Vitamin C. Both the salt and black pepper help break up some of the mucus in the throat.
Of course, these three ingredients can relieve the other symptoms of a cold or flu, such as nausea, sinus issues, sore throat, or just feeling blue because of it.
7.Depression
