Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Health Capsule: Cucumber is a great folk medicine used to reduce heat and inflammation.. It can be eaten raw, pickled or used in cooking. This cool fruit is popular among women because it is normally used to help treat tired eyes. Cucumber can be used for skin problems because of its diuretic, cooling and cleansing property. It helps to heal a range of illnesses including lung, stomach and chest problem, gout, arthritis and tapeworm. To reduce heartburn or soothe acid stomach, drink fresh cucumber juice. The same applies for people suffering from gastritis or ulcer. To reduce swelling and soothe the eyes, place a cucumber slice over closed eyes. Cucumber juice, when taken daily, may help control cases of eczema, arthritis and gout. But keep away from pickled cucumbers. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, because pickled cucumber loses most of its vitamin. Secondly, because pickled cucumber is high in sodium. You don’t want to get sick, do you? The regular intake of cucumber juice is very useful both internally and externally. ~ Courtesy: Health Plus Think Simply. Think Wisely. Curb Semantics. Speak the Truth.
