Citrus maxima “shaddock”
Medicinal : It is used to relieve cough, fever and stomach disorders, as the juice is a mild laxative which will cure constipation problems. It is alkaline in nature and so is useful in the digestive system as it rids it of unnecessary acids without getting rid of the bacteria we need in our guts. It is also used in genitor-urinary disorders, so may help cystitis sufferers. The crushed leaves are sometimes added to bath water for their aroma. The oil from the seeds can also help wounds heal and scars will virtually disappear if it is used on them. Also available: Pomelo Red (Click here)
