Precaution
In case of pregnancy or nursing, do not follow any treatment without medical supervision.  Cucumber skin contains mineral and a similar substance to a digestive enzyme that facilitates the digestion. That is why it’s better to eat with the skin.  Must be eaten without vinegar and preferably without salt since those ingredients are the ones that make it indigestible.
