I am a fan of the Lime, it’s a great tasting fruit. But recently I was told you may be able to use it to cure a headache! I’m not a pessimistic person but to be honest I couldn’t see how it could work.
I’ve done some digging and it turns out putting a lime on the forehead can indeed help to stop a headache. However it only stops the headache whilst the lime is placed on the forehead, when you take it off the pain soon comes back.
I’ve found 2 experiences of people trying it and reporting back, here is one article and here is another. I’m glad other people have tried it because I’d rather save my limes for my glass of lemonade!
So if you have no paracetamol around to stop a headache but you are in real pain then grab a lime and hold it on your forehead until someone can go to the shops to stock up on some real relief.
