Combining baking soda with fresh lemon water has long been a favorite natural remedy for everything from soothing digestion to balancing your body’s pH. But like any home remedy, the real magic is in how you use it—so here’s what you need to know before you pour your next glass.
What You’ll Need
One glass (about 8 ounces or 200–250 ml) of purified or mineral water (room temperature or slightly warm)
Juice from half a fresh lemon
¼ teaspoon (about 1 gram) of baking soda
How to Prepare
Start by squeezing the lemon juice into your glass of water.
Add the baking soda and stir until it’s completely dissolved.
Drink immediately for best results—ideally in the morning before eating or at least an hour away from meals.
How Much and How Often?
One glass per day is enough for most healthy adults. Limit your use to a maximum of two weeks at a time—this is not meant to be an everyday habit for months on end.
For those occasional heavy meals that leave you with heartburn, you can try a single glass as needed, but always stay under one serving per day. If you have ongoing digestive issues, be sure to check with your doctor first.
