Honeydew Melon Juice is very beneficial in acute eczema. Melons are either round or oval in shape. A river-bank with sandy soil is suitable for their growth. Melons with white flesh are known as musk-melons and are extremely sweet, while melons with green or orange flesh are known as watermelons and are not as sweet. Both melons belong to the same genus. Melons are diaretics and also make great thirst quenchers. They give off a cooling and soothing effect when consumed on very hot days. Since melons contain pre-digested sugar, they also provide prompt nourishment.
