Blessings of Melon
As for Melon (battikh)-- "Whenever you eat fruit, eat melon, because it is the fruit of Paradise and contains a 1000 blessings and a 1000 mercies. The eating of it cures every disease. Hadith
Generally, the sweeter a melon, the greater its heat. Green varieties tend to be cold; the yellow, hot. The Prophet (saw) took melons with fresh dates. Melon purifies the bladder and the stomach, and improves the spinal fluid and eyesight. Melons should not be eaten first in a meal.
"None of your women who are pregnant and eat of watermelon will fail to produce offspring who are good in countenance and good in character." hadith
Health Benefits
The Watermelon has no fat or cholesterol and is an excellent source of vitamins A (notably through its concentration of beta-carotene), B6 and C and contains fibre and potassium.
The pink watermelon is also one of the largest sources of the carotenoid antioxidant, lycopene (lycopene is being studied for its ability to fight heart disease and some cancers) when comparing to other fruits and vegetables.
In addition, it also has amino acids, such as citrulline and arginine, which are said to be able to help in maintaining the arteries of the heart.

Natural skin treatment:
There are many natural skin remedies present that will help you rejuvenate your skin and keep it healthy. You just need to look in the refrigerator and kitchen cabinet for inexpensive
natural skin treatment options.
These natural skin tips and remedies can be chiefly obtained from the roots, leaves, flowers, or fruits of plants. Most often the skin loses its sheen due to a faulty diet and lack of proper
nutrients that keep the skin supple and soft. The skin might seem superficially clean but is often clogged with dust, make-up, and dirt which gather through the day. To begin with, it is
essential to opt for healthy food choices that will nourish the body and for good skin care. Consume plenty of fruits, water, and fresh juices to wash all the toxins and keep you buoyant.
Beauty comes from within and it is essential that you adopt a stress free life style. Keep away from anxieties and worries that will soon reflect in your health and skin.
Natural skin recipes:
Lemon is an excellent natural antidote for cleansing, exfoliating, and refreshing the skin. Add honey to lemon juice and apply this mixture on your face to cleanse oily skin. This also
improves skin tone. Sprinkle salt on a slice of lemon and rub it on your face and skin to exfoliate your skin. You can also add lemon juice to mint juice to obtain a natural cleanser. Mix
lemon juice with olive oil to moisturize and soothe the skin. If you have dry skin you can rinse your face with cold water as this will help to retain a small amount of the olive oil and if
you have normal skin wash it off with warm water to cleanse your skin completely.
Steam your face with any one of these herbs: Margosa, holy basil, or mint leaves to open the clogged pores, reduce acne and promote natural cleansing.
Turmeric, sandalwood and rose water made into a paste is an effective natural skin recipe for acne, mild rashes, and heat rashes. It has healing properties and makes the skin smooth and
silky. You can make a fruit mask with fruits of your choice. You can use papaya, strawberry, orange, peach, avocado, and watermelon to relax and nourish the skin. For natural skin care
remedies you can use tomato with honey for improving skin tone and cleansing and potato for clearing dark circles under the eyes. Cucumber slices can be placed over the eyes to reduce
puffiness and alleviate eye strain.
