Mixing baking soda with lemon water is a time-honored home remedy often used to support digestion, ease stomach discomfort, and help maintain balanced pH levels in the body.
While this combination can offer several health benefits, it’s important to use it correctly—paying close attention to how it’s prepared, how much you take, and when you take it to avoid unwanted side effects.
What You’ll Need
- 1 glass (200–250 ml) of room-temperature or slightly warm mineral or purified water
- Juice from half of a fresh lemon
- ¼ teaspoon (about 1 gram) of baking soda
How to Make It
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the water. Add the baking soda and stir well until it’s fully dissolved. For best results, drink it right away—preferably first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or at least a few hours after eating.
