The apple has many uses in traditional medicine, and the old adage “To eat an apple going to bed will make the physician beg his bread” has been justified by its many health-giving properties. Research shows that apples are excellent detoxifiers, and apple juice—even store bought— can destroy viruses in the body.
USES
• Eat raw apples regularly, as a detoxificant, for gout and rheumatism.
• To prevent viruses from settling in, and to reduce their duration, eat an apple (or drink a glass of apple juice) three times a day.
• Raw, peeled, and grated apples can be used as a poultice for sprains.
• For indigestion, heartburn, and other digestive disorders, eat an apple with meals.
• Use an apple poultice for treating rheumatic and weak eyes.
• Two apples a day can reduce cholesterol levels by up to 10 percent.
• As a treatment for intestinal infections, hoarseness, rheumatism, and fatigue, increase your daily intake to as much as 2lb. (1kg).
• For curative purposes, as an alternative to eating the whole fruit, drink 2 cups (500ml) of naturally sweet apple juice a day.
