The peel of the citron has many benefits. For instance, when it is placed within the clothes it prevents molding. The peel’s scent refreshes decaying and polluted air.

The extract of the pith contained in the citron constipates, relieves bile, soothes hot pulsation, controls bilious vomiting, and when taken as a drink or a Kohl, relieves jaundice. The extract of the pith is also a good appetite stimulant, constipates and helps in cases of bilious diarrhea.
