Cucumber Juice
Cucumber juice is a delicious juice that is high in water content. It helps hydrate cells when you have a fever or are just “dry” and thirsty. A cucumber’s precious naturally distilled water helps cool the body and cal the nerves. It acts as a natural diuretic and flushes the kidneys, and it assists in lowering high blood pressure. Please use only organic cucumbers, and juice the entire vegetable, including the skin.
