For years, my aunt had been slowed by stiff joints and deep aches.
She winced with every step. Getting out of a chair was a struggle.
She had once been so lively — the one who danced at weddings and beat everyone at cards — but now, she spent her days quietly watching from the couch.
It hurt to see her like that.
Out of hope more than belief, she tried a simple home remedy:
lemons and prunes.
We laughed at how basic it sounded.
But three weeks later, I opened the door and froze — she was out on the porch, laughing, standing, moving.
She looked… free.
She looked like herself again.
🍋🍑 Why Lemons & Prunes?
This combo might sound odd, but it works like a natural joint cleanser and anti-inflammatory powerhouse:
- Prunes are packed with antioxidants, potassium, boron, and magnesium — essential for bone density and flexibility.
- Lemon juice delivers vitamin C and natural acids that help detox tissues and fight inflammation.
Together, they gently cleanse, nourish, and lubricate joints.
