Introduction:
In the world of home remedies, few combinations are as buzzworthy—and debated—as baking soda and lemon. Both are common kitchen staples, but when mixed, they form a simple tonic that many believe offers several health benefits. For women in particular, this mixture may help support digestion, skin clarity, and more. While it's not a magic potion, when used moderately and with proper guidance, this DIY remedy can be a gentle nudge toward better wellness. Below, we’ll share how to prepare it, how to enjoy it safely, and explore some of the possible benefits.
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (aluminum-free, food grade)
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
1 glass (8 oz) of lukewarm filtered water
Directions:
Pour the warm water into a glass.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the water.
Add the baking soda slowly—it will fizz slightly.
Stir gently until the baking soda is completely dissolved.
Drink immediately on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This tonic is best served fresh and consumed right after mixing.
Storage: Not recommended for storage, as the active reaction between baking soda and lemon dissipates quickly. Prepare just one serving at a time.
Frequency: No more than 2–3 times per week to avoid potential imbalance in stomach pH.
Variations:
With Honey: Add 1/2 teaspoon of raw honey to enhance flavor and potential soothing effects.
With Apple Cider Vinegar: For added digestive support, include a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (only if you’ve tried it before and tolerated it well).
Iced Tonic: Add ice cubes and a lemon slice for a refreshing summer detox drink.
