Lemon has strong natural acids that could help remove the scars. Extract out the lemon juice and apply it on the affected area with a cotton ball. Let the skin soak up the lemon juice for sometime, (approx half an hour) before washing it off. This will help remove any skin darkness and blemishes, if don’t on regular basis.

It is quite important for a person to manage their own health. Personally I eat plenty of organic fruit and veggies, drink a great deal of pure water having a squeeze of lemon in it to alkalize water, remove red meats, and only eat 3-4 oz. of chicken, turkey, or fish daily. Furthermore, i eat garlic with everything else I will including a tremendous salad with lots of vege’s and that i add cilantro to any or all my salads it’s actually a very healthy move to make.
