Ibn Al Qayyam wrote for Citron's
peel :
The peel of Utrujj has many benefits. When it is
placed within the clothes, it prevents molding (by insects). The peel’s scent
refreshes decaying and polluted air. The peels of the Utrujj also improve the
flavor of the foods and dissipate foul scents. Also, when the peels are mixed
with other foods, they help the digestive process. The author of Al-Qanoon
(Ibn-e-Seena) said, The pith of Utrujj is beneficial in cases of snake bite,
while the peels are used in bandages for snakebite. The ashes of peels are used
as an effective ointment against Vitiligo (Leukoderma ~
Baras).
If Turunj peel can prevent the insect molds in
clothes, it can surely kill the AILING colonies of micro-organisms in
human's body.
For those who have a weak digestion, bloating
problems, flatulence, etc. hot infusion of Turunj peel is so beneficial, I have
tried the infusion & it removes the feeling of "Heaviness
after meals", it can also be added to your water bottles inside the
refrigerator, within 6 hours, your drinking water will have the aroma of
Turunj.
