Sunburn

When there is a sunburn, make cucumber juice and rub it on the affected area for a cooling and healing effect. Cucumbers are now known to contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinolthree lignans that have a strong history of research in connection with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease as well as several cancer types, including breast, uterine, ovarian, and prostate cancers.
