digestion, relief from constipation, eye care, and treatment of scurvy,
piles, peptic ulcer, respiratory disorders, gout, gums, urinary

detoxifying the body.
When you come home during the day in summer or if you are tired or your BP is low, a glass of nimbu sharbat keeps you hydrated as well as energetic. My children always prefer to drink this during the summer. This is also known as Shikanji in North India.
I always add a bit of black salt, cumin powder, black pepper powder in addition to the sugar but some people prefer to drink this with sugar and salt only.
It is a very simple preparation and can be served at room temperature or chilled as you wish or can add ice and serve.
