He's one of the most famous faces in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market. Uzi-Eli Chezi claims his etrog-based juice, soaps and creams can cure any ill.
You'll find him in Jerusalem's 100-year-old Mahane Yehuda Market. Among the multitude of stands proffering everything from fruits and vegetables to spices, cheeses, meat, fish, designer clothing, fresh-baked bread, and even coffee and fast food from Israel's popular Aroma chain, Uzi-Eli Chezi offers products made of the etrog or citron fruit from his tiny stall.
He is the third generation of his Yemenite family to sell "medicine from nature", and the famous local character claims he contributes to the "health and happiness of the people."
Uzi-Eli Chezi claims his juices can do anything from keeping you looking youthful to improving your virility.
Known foremost for his fresh juice, Chezi tells ISRAEL21c that the famous 12th century doctor Maimonides believed that the etrog had 70 different healing properties.
Today the etrog is the main ingredient in Chezi's creams, soaps and sprays that he claims can keep you looking youthful, help a woman become pregnant, contribute to an easy delivery, an abundance of breast milk, improved masculine virility and smooth cardiac function, among many other beneficial properties.

ACT NOW for ISRAEL: Flush ‘LUSH’ Cosmetics!
email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
LUSH Cosmetics has quietly closed its Beverly Hills, California location several months after a group known as “Join the Boycott LA” (www.JTBLA.com) organized a protest outside the store to expose the company’s support of PLO extremism. LUSH, with headquarters in the UK and stores in over 40 countries around the world, is using its customers’ money to support the PLO’s extremist “One World Campaign”. This virulently anti-Israel organization portrays Israel as an “illegal” occupier committing crimes against “Palestine” and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza, placing responsibility solely on the Israelis.
There is much more work to be done. We urge you to ACT NOW FOR ISRAEL by sending an email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
It has come to our attention that LUSH, a leading luxury handmade cosmetics company, gives a percentage of its profits to an anti-Israel organization called “OneWorld”. Upon visiting the OneWorld website (http://freedomoneworld.org/), it is very clear that they are supported by extreme anti-Israel groups that are sympathetic to terrorist activity against the State of Israel. For example, one of the supporting groups is called “Friends of al-Aqsa”. Visiting their website speaks for itself: http://www.foa.org.uk/.
