The Legend of Lemon

Speaking of the legendary story of lemons, we must talk about scurvy. In 1747, the British Royal Navy had a surgeon, James Lind, who was responsible for the treatment of seafarers who had scurvy. He would treat them at the time of treatment. Add lemon juice to the patient's food to treat those who suffer from scurvy.

In that era, European adventurers and navigators went out to sea to compete for a new world. However, many sailors suffered scurvy on the way to sailing and died millions of lives. For this reason, they used a lot of methods and wanted to treat illnesses, and thus also carried out studies on the treatment of scurvy. Finally, the study found that eating lemon can effectively reduce the incidence of scurvy. After extensive use of this method, scurvy gradually disappeared.
