15 Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water on an Empty Stomach (2024)

Curious…my cousin is allergic to lemons. Would limes have similar benefits?

Yes you could use limes instead of lemons.

Thank you Marlene

I had stop dinking lemon water while I was sick for a month, all my joint pain started back bad, so I started back drinking lemon juice again warm on empty stomach every morning, after a week I kid you not, my pain in my knees are gone!!!!

That’s great! The lemon is very alkalizing and helps to get the acid waste out of the body plus it has lots of vitamin C which is very important for the joints. Some people are “Hypoascorbemia” meaning a low level of vitamin C in the body and need to add more either through food or in a supplement.

I would suggest you wait for 20 – 30 minutes before eating.

Lemon water will help to remove acidity and toxins from the body but there will be other factors involved that would have to be addressed. I wouldn’t be able to make further recommendations without a consultation.

Why does the lemon have to be in warm water? Can you get the same benefits in cold water?

Thank you!

The warm water will stimulate the digestion and liver. Cold water will shut it down so you would not get the same benefit.

No, lemon is alkaline when it is in the body. Lemon will help to reduce the inflammation of a fatty liver and protect against free radical/oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation due to the vitamin C content.

So educative and eye opener to this very multi consuming world. Any adherence to this discipline will produce sheath family hence a healthy nation is the I dear is well sold.warm lemon juice very vital to our body balance systems. Organs best medium playmaker in digestion and multi body functions.

I love all the benefits mentioned above except for the weight loss part. How do I benefit from this drink without losing weight? Would it work the same way if I drink it anytime of the day and with meals?

So educative,just started taking my hot lemon juice hopefully,will give a testimony after a month.

The lemon is not specifically for weight loss and should cause you to lose weight if you don’t need to.

Great, let us know your results!

I wanted to say will drinking lemon water help reduce belly fat only?

There may be other factors involved in belly fat such as insulin resistance or hormonal imbalance. Lemon water will certainly help to improve digestion and elimination but you cannot target specific areas of the body. You have to deal with the body as a whole and look at where the imbalances are and then correct that. One the imbalance is corrected the body will let go of stored fat from the appropriate areas such as the belly.

Drinking lemon with warm water I get pain in my stomach is it cleaning the stomach or it’s having some bad reaction please reply what to do thks.

It is possible you may have some inflammation in the stomach. I would suggest you get checked for H Pylori bacteria as this may lead to ulceration which the lemon juice could irritate.

The build up of plaque on the artery walls is part of the bodies repair mechanism to damage that has taken place there. Since lemon contains Vitamin C it would be beneficial to the healing process but not likely enough to clear the blockage. We do have many options available to support the body with cardiovascular issues. We can help you through a nutritional consultation.

Hi, anytime I drink the lemon water, my stomach rambles for about 20 minutes. Please is this normal?

Drinking lemon juice is increasing the acidity and digestive activity. It is possible you do not need the stimulation from lemon juice. Are you diluting the lemon juice with water?

I have just started taking warm lemon water ,how long will it take to lose 10 pounds.

That would depend on many things. What else you are doing? Changing your diet, add exercise, check to see if there are any thyroid or hormonal issues.

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get started. This is such great information. I am forever amazed at how God has created an earth with everything we need to sustain ourselves and live healthy lives. We have just been so far removed from it all. Thank you again for helping me on my journey to a naturally healthy lifestyle.

I am glad you are enjoying this information! Yes God has provided everything we need to sustain ourselves!!

Thank you for this information about lemon benefits. The base of my left thumb is beginning to develop pain and is thickening, which I believe …a gout. I read some posts here that lemon could help reduce joint pains. I’ll try this first, as the pain is still on its first onset though its been five days now that I noticed the thickening of the joint (base of the left thumb). Sometimes, the thumb won’t move especially upon waking up in the morning. I plan to consult a physician actually this morning, however, after I’ve read this article, I guess I have to try something herbal first. I’ll inform you of the outcome maybe after a week. Thank you very much!

aerated,
sweetened,
artificially flavored(yes chemicals which are NOT YET proven/found as hazardous!!),

Hi I really want to loose weight. This will help me. How many lemons and how much of water

I drink warm water with lemon in the afternoon after lunch and not in the morning, is this okay too? I just can’t skip my coffee early in the morning it’s a habit.

Is it possible to lose weight by drinking warm water with sliced lemons everyday?

Yes the Kaffir lime tree would have a very similar effect as lemon.

I would only drink the lemon water in the morning and once more in the evening but not all day. That could have a negative effect on your teeth.

Antibiotics can upset the gastrointestinal track. I would consider taking Probiotics. The lemon water could irritate if there is inflammation present.

Yes the lemon water has Vitamin C which is beneficial for the kidneys.

That it wonderful. Lemon is alkalinizing in the body.

No you don’t have to boil it to a high temperature. It is more pleasant to drink warm not cold.

If it is pure fresh squeezed lemon it would work but usually bottled juice contains added sugar and preservatives so it would not be the same as fresh squeezed.

I would not suggest store bought lemon juice. If you were to fresh squeeze it and keep it in the fridge be sure to drink it within the same day.

I would suggest using a straw to drink the lemon water. Your teeth may be low on minerals so very sensitive.

No, the peel is good for you as well. Just make sure they are organic so you are not getting pesticides from the skin.

The best time seems to be in the morning on an empty stomach.

only use water and lemon, do not add chocolate or sugar. That is defeating the purpose.

The homeopathic remedy will absorb in the mouth. I would wait at least 15 minutes before drinking the lemon juice so that it doesn’t negatively affect the remedy.

Lemon juice has many beneficial effects and I am sure it will help as it will encourage the liver function and change the environment of the intestines to help break down your fats.

Every one is different so just get started and see how it works for you.

I would not drink that much in one day. Just one half a lemon in one cup of water twice per day is enough.

Yes you could mix lemon and lime. You could drink it cold or room temperature if you prefer.

Yes it will help. Many people have commented on the benefit of weight loss.

Not sure what you mean by “losing weight of your mother”

Yes, the lemon has vitamin c which is very beneficial to the kidneys.

Not a problem.

I would use only fresh squeezed. Store bought will have added sugar and preservatives.

It would be good support but other factors need to be addressed.

You would not get the above results by adding it to your smoothie but it would be a good flavor.

I would continue what you are doing. I think 1 teaspoon would be enough in a mug with water.

Yes it can be but you can drink it with a straw and it won’t harm your teeth.

Yes, this a good sign. The body is cleaning up.

I would use only fresh squeezed. Store bought will have added sugar and preservatives.

Sorry, I don’t know what that is.

I would use only fresh squeezed. Store bought will have added sugar and preservatives.

Not at all. In fact the Vitamin C will be beneficial.

half of a fresh lemon squeezed

I would suggest just the lemon, do not add honey as this will stimulate an insulin response.

Yes, but just pay attention to see if it bothers the baby or not. Some food and drink that the mother has can affect the breast milk and the baby may get upset digestion.

Lemon water stimulates your digestion, liver and function and creates a more alkaline environment it the small intestine. Your enzymes need an alkaline environment to work properly. When you digest your food properly you will get the nutrients you need and then your body will lose the extra weight.

Yes, as it will stimulate the liver and digestive functions.

No just have the lemon, do not add sugar and salt or tequila. Yes fresh lemon is excellent for calcium kidney stones

It sounds like you are drinking to much lemon water. Just one to two cups per day. If you are exercising then you should see some weight loss very quickly.

Yes it will because it will help to clean up your liver and bowel.

Agreed!

8 ounces or 250ml is a good amount.

As long as it doesn’t go bad within the four days. Drinking through a straw helps protect the teeth. Lemon is acidic outside of the body but turns alkaline inside the body.

When you get cold like symptoms it is a sign your body is detoxifying.

I would suggest one to two times per day.

Is it working for you?

Yes, lemons help the body to eliminate.

I would say the are equal in health benefits.

I would suggest starting with one drink in the morning for at least a week and see if that helps you. Several times per day is too much.

You are welcome!

If your throat is itchy it can be a sign of an allergic or intolerant reaction. Did this only happen after starting the lemon juice?
Sometimes people react to the pesticides if the fruit is not organic. Yes, lemon would be helpful after surgery to clear out the anesthetic.

Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. The citric acid and vitamin c are considered good for naturally dissolving gallstones and also helps in flushing them out and clearing the ducts to release bile. Lemon Juice has been in use for centuries to treat kidney stones and gallstones. Lemon also has antimicrobial properties that help to reduce infections in the gallbladder and reduce the pain. Pectin in lemon juice reduces bloating nausea and pain. Lemon juice reduces cholesterol formation in liver.

yes it will help as it improves liver, kidney and digestive function. Squeeze half a fresh lemon into 8 ounces of water, drink 1 cup first thing in the morning empty stomach and one later in the day.

No, I would only use fresh lemon especially organic lemons.

You are doing such good things for your body! Now it is time to quite smoking. Can you imagine how much more energy you will have and how much better you will feel. And you won’t stink of smoke or have lung issues.

Good for you!!!

I don’t think it would have an effect on pregnancy prevention but if it did you would be healthier to have a baby.

yes it will help. Keep drinking the lemon and exercising.

Until you have reached your goal, then you could reduce it to several times per week if you don’t want to drink it every day.

yes lemon have lots of vitamin c which is beneficial for the arteries and repairing damage.

I would suggest twice per day.

Absolutley! And it will get your digestion working better.

What a great idea!

Yes many people have reduced weigh by drinking lemon water and exercising. There will be many other benefits as well. You can do it!

It is amazing how something so simple can have such a magical effect. Thanks for sharing!

Now we have a healthy option with many advantages. It is always your choice as to what you put in your body so choose wisely.

Yes and this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

that’s awesome!

you can slice it but you will get more out of it by squeezing it.

I would suggest putting a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in 4 ounces of water and drinking that 15 minutes before your meals instead of adding to the lemon juice. This will help your digestion and improve you own HCI production.

Not with sugar, just the lemon juice.

Congratulations!!

Sorry I don’t know about that.

I don’t see why not. What about having water with lemon in the morning?

It could be the activated charcoal.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

What do you mean?

You would get more out of the lemon by squeezing it rather than boiling and if it is not organic there will be pesticides in it.

I would suggest cabbage juice instead.

Yes it will. See previous response to this questions.

m 25. overweight. using lemon juice from 3 months. but nothing happens .. any advice?

Use a ripe lemon.

Yes it will help to change the environment in the bowel and therefore improve the skin.

Yes, lemon water will help with post pregnancy weight loss.

There will be some other factors that need to be addressed.

Yes the lemon water and exercise will help you loose weight.

I wouldn’t add sugar but a little salt would be ok.

It is hard to say until you try it. I may improve your digestion but if there is inflammation it could be painful.

I would take the medication shortly after the lemon as the lemon water will adsorb fairly quickly.

About 15 minutes.

Yes, either.

It can be cold, room temperature or hot water, whatever you prefer.

It think you would get better results if you squeeze the lemon juice into the water.

That is wonderful to hear!

Absolutely!

Lemon water alone will not cure her diabetes or wound. She will need to address her diet, digestion, insulin levels and eliminate sugar.

My husband had his gallbladder removed over a year ago and has had problems with his digestion ever since – like stomach cramps and loose stools. Is the lemon juice with warm water something he should do daily?

The lemon is not specifically for weight loss and should not cause you to lose weight if you don’t need to.

Thank you!

Drinking lemon water should not cause you to lose weight if you don’t need to.

Yes, this is typical after gallbladder removal as a major organ involved in digestion is now gone. The lemon water could certainly help with this. It would also be important to take a digestive enzyme that contains HCI, Bile and pancreatic enzymes with each meal.

It may be cleaning up your urinary tract or it my not be right for you. Stop drinking it for a week and see if the urination decreases. Then try drinking one glass per day and see what happens.

Yes, it can be helpful. Also you need to make some changes in your diet and remove all high purine foods.

Lemon has lots of Vitamin C which is very beneficial for the immune system.

There are many factors involved with asthma. Lemon water alone won’t cure it but it can.

You are welcome!

You are welcome! Half a fresh squeezed lemon with 8 ounces of water. The water can be hot, room temperature or cold.

I would take the lemon water first in the morning and take 1 tsp of apple cider in 4 ounces of water before each meal. This will help your digestion.

Yes, I would not drink it, you may have some inflammation in the stomach.

There must be something else going on unless you are intolerant to lemon. Lemon would not cause kidney stones.

Once a day should be sufficient.

You would not get the same effect by adding it to tea. Yes, you can drink the lemon water once per day.

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!!

Yes, you can drink it in the evening, a couple of hours after dinner.

Certainly!

That is great news but do not add Splenda or other sugar substitutes or real sugar.

half of a fresh squeezed lemon and 8 ounces of water. I would suggest making it fresh everyday as you will lose nutrients by making ahead of time.

Yes, I am sure you will notice a difference.

If they are stomach ulcer it could be painful, if ulcers in other areas there should not be a problem, in fact it will help clear acids from the body.

Perhaps you need to drink more regular water throughout the day.

Elevated cholesterol is a sign of inflammation in the body. Lemon water helps to improve the environment in the body so it can have a positive effect on cholesterol.

I suggest half a fresh squeezed lemon in 8 ounces of water first thing in the morning or later in the evening but just once per day.

Yes, very good.

Lemon water provides more support for the kidneys but it wouldn’t hurt for you to drink it once per day. You need to have some liver support, if it is from the medicine it is damaging your liver.

Is Lemon water good for Fatty Liver ?

Hi, thanks for good info. I just began lemon water. Bought some lemon juice but later researched and found it is high in sodium. However, I mix it with water thus cutting down the 550mg per cup on the label. May move to squeeze own lemons. Question: I also learned that chicken bone broth is good. Wondering how soon after lemon water I should take the bone broth? thanks

I completely agree with cleansing the digestive system. I visit my daughter every other month and she always starts her morning with a cup of lemon juice (with 1/2 cup of orange for flavoring). I do it also and by the second day I have the best bowel movement. Never knew I could.

That’s great news! Thanks for sharing.

You must use fresh squeeze lemons. I would suggest lemon juice in the morning and chicken/ bone broth in the evening. In order to make bone broth whether from chicken, fish or beef you need to gently simmer the bones for at least 12 hours, do not use store bought/package. A crock pot is great for doing this as you can leave it on low over night.

Yes, definitely!

Thanks for sharing! There are many benefits to lemon water.

Absolutely not!

I would drink the lemon water first and them sip a couple of liters of water throughout the day.

Yes it will help with the gout for sure but your partner also needs to change the diet.

You might find the warm water and lemon better than cold water. I may be able to help you with your CRPS, I do have a consulting practice either in person or by phone/Skype. We could set up a consultation appointment for that.

You may need to dilute the lemon with more water.

Yes, you could use lime instead of lemon.

Lemon may help by reducing acidity in the body. Often still muscles are from too much acid. You could also try some magnesium to relax the muscles.

I would suggest 1 cup in the morning is sufficient. I would not drink it all day long.

Yes, you can drink it in the evening instead of the morning. In the morning it helps to wake the body up and get things moving.

I am a diabetic type 2 and I noticed taking insulin does make me gain weight. So I changed my diet and drink the water all the time and I noticed a difference.

I have neuropathy, is lemon in warm water going to help and improve my damaged nerves?

I have been suffering with stomach digestion for years, to points where I could not walk. For the past 2 years now I have been drinking lemon tea with honey and a little slice of ginger to taste (sometimes) every morning. I can tell you I have no stomach issues at all. No more pills to help me digest. Please note this will not happen overnight, it takes time and true discipline. I peel my lemons, slice them into wedges and pop them in the freezer. Every morning I take out 2 wedges and my honey, warm water and good to go. Hopefully this helps someone out there. Peace and Love , All is well

I am drinking lemon juice first thing in the morning empty stomach for more than 15 years and know its benefit.

It seems there are more questions than answers here. Well, lemon is one of the most popular and versatile citrus fruit. Lemon (Citrus lemon) is a species of small evergreen tree in the flowering plant family Rutaceae. The tree’s yellow fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes in Uganda and throughout the world. Lemons are a rich source of vitamin C, providing 64% of the Daily Value in a 100 g serving. Lemon fruit is a gift from God! Lemon juice is an effective way to reduce weight because it increases the body’s metabolic rate. Lemon water is simply the juice from lemons mixed with water. NB: lemon water is one glass of water mixed with the juice from half a lemon. Some people are asking if lemons should be diluted or not before consumption. Lemons are a popular fruit that people from different corners of the world use in small quantities with water (warm water is better) with herbs and spices. They are rarely consumed alone, due to their intense, sour flavor. Lemons are vitamin C rich citrus fruits that enhance your beauty, by rejuvenating skin from within bringing a glow to your face. Other health benefits of drinking warm lemon water is that it paves the way for losing weight faster, once more, lemon is an excellent and rich source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient that protects the body against immune system deficiencies. It balances to maintain the pH levels in the body. Lemons contain pectin fibre which is very beneficial for colon health and also serves as a powerful antibacterial. It is also a great source citric acid, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. It helps prevent the growth and multiplication of pathogenic bacteria that cause infections and diseases. It helps reducing pain and inflammation in joints and knees as it dissolves uric acid. Drinking warm lemon juice early in the morning helps flush out toxins and aids digestion and encourages the production of bile. Additionally, lemon water contains other beneficial substances, and is a source of plant compounds called flavonoids. These flavonoids have antioxidant properties that appear to help protect your cells from damage. Rinse your mouth with clean water after drinking a glass of lemon juice. In case you are allergic to lemon juice, do not drink it. If it gives you pain, do not take it. Overall, lemon is good for your health. More importantly, I thank God, who created the lemons for us. And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food (Genesis 1:29).

I have been drinking 1 glass of warm lime water with 1 tsp raw organic honey from beginning of last year. To my stunned surprise, I didn’t fall even little sick also with cold and cough for one time also throughout the entire year. That is a record for me as in the last 25 years, I have been unfailingly, regularly falling sick with Bronchitis cough and cold at least 2 to 3 times per year , as I have a weak, compromised immune system. But after taking this mixture quite regularly for whole of last year, I came right to the December month without falling even once sick also with that terrible Bronchitis , or even with ordinary cough and cold also. My weight has also remained stable at a lower value without going up.

Thank you

Thank you

I am regular smoker.. But rarely I drink.. Does warm water with lemon will help me out to clean my respiratory system.

I’ve been using room temperature water with a half of lemon. Does the water need to be warmer then that?

can green tea be used with the lemon water

Thank u Marlene can I use lime instead of lemon

Yes you can.

I would eliminate the Stevia.

Yes you can have green tea with lemon water

No, room temperature is good.

Yes, it will help the respiratory system as well as liver an kidneys especially if you stop smoking.

I don’t know if lemon water will help with your skin color but you could try it to find out.

When you wake up, drink it about 20 minutes before having food.

If it is not fresh squeezed then it will contain some form of preservatives even and especially if organic. The water doesn’t have to be warm, it is just what your prefer. I would not suggest drinking lemon water all day long, morning or morning an evening is sufficient. Psyllium is best before bed or first thing in the morning half an hour before food. I do find psyllium is better with warm water.

Thank you for sharing!

The uterus is used as a means of elimination so it could be that some toxins are being released or your hormones are waking up a little or a shift is taking place.

I would put about 1/3 cup of cool water, then add boiled water and then the lemon. There will be less destruction of the Vitamin C.

I did talk about the benefits of lemon juice for kidney issues in a couple of previous comments. You can drink it with cool or cold water, no change effectiveness just preference.

Yes you can.

1 cup of lemon water should be sufficient. Stopping the coffee will help your IBS.

1 tsp of Apple cider vinegar in a little water 15 minutes before a meal will improve your digestion.

Certainly.

No, it does not.

The water does not have to be warm it is your choice, cold is also fine. If she does not have a stomach ulcer then the lemon water would help her digestion.

Thank you for sharing!

Joint pains are related to poor digestion and allergic reactions to foods. Lemon water will help her digestion and elimination.

It makes it sweeter but it can also effect blood sugar levels and trigger an insulin response which is not good.

There is no harm in drinking lemon water while trying to conceive.

Yes!

I would only use fresh lemon.

That’s great! Lemons are very beneficial for the kidneys.

Fresh lemons

Yes, drinking lemon water is perfectly safe during pregnancy.

No, lemons are very high in Vitamin C and will help to repair the veins and arteries.

It does not have to be warm, it can be cool or cold. It will work just as well.

Certainly.

No, it will not effect his medication but will help his digestion.

About 8 ounces is enough.

The lemon water will help improve your digestion so you will get more nutrients from your foods and be able to put on some weight.

That is a lot of lemon water.

once in the morning and or evening

No difference.

Half a fresh squeezed lemon to 8 ounces of warm or cool water.

Great news!

Yes drink the lemon water and it will help.

You are welcome!

Thank you for letting me know.

Hi Marlene
Thank you for sharing this very important information. Yes God is awesome He has supplied us with all of our needs. We either choose to use it or ignore it. Thank you for your patience in replying to repetitive questions. I had started using lemon in my water way before we could Google anything and I would get the burning sensations in my stomach, so I stopped. Recently I started using lemon and water again. I googled the subject and found your article on how to use it properly. This is my 3rd day of using it and already I am seeing a great difference in my skin tone. I rinse my mouth out with water immediately after drinking the warm lemon water and this helps to take away the sensitivity in my teeth. Thank you and may God bless you!

The alternative is sipping on a cup of flavoured herbal infusion tea consisting of mint and lemon. An excellent beverage and the health benefits are outstanding.

Extremely informative. Thank you. **Worthwhile to read through completely prior to asking questions. Would avoid author having to answer duplicate questions repeatedly.

I didn’t know that lemon water has so many benefits. I have started drinking it in the morning and hope to see many results in the near future.

I’m so happy I found this information! I was looking for a hot morning beverage to replace coffee as my first drink of the morning. I’m 55 and have always struggled with irregularity. My best solution has been to ensure I drink plenty of water (still do). But I started drinking hot lemon water (I call it lemon tea) every morning and I have BMs every day, I’ve never had that! And then all of a sudden I realized I’m not having the body pain I’ve been having as a 8hour a day desk worker, (Hatha yoga stretching, helps but I’m not consistent) I’m consistent and I enjoy starting my day with lemon tea and the benefits are life altering! It’s only been about 3weeks but it’s my new way of life! I expect it will only get better and better!

Good works

It wasn’t clear to us that we need to use half a lemon’s juice in our water in the morning. We’ve been squeezing a wedge of lemon into our water for months.

We believe the timing of starting to drink lemon water every morning and starting to cough every morning is close. Is that a result of drinking lemon water?

Hi Marlene, I am 64 and for years, I’ve used cold water, lemon juice, cayenne & maple syrup as a 2-5 day fast, whenever I start feeling sluggish to clean out my system, usually a couple times a year. I always feel clean and terrific afterwards. Also, I always lose about 10 pounds, but I just thought it was because I wasn’t eating solid foods. Now, after reading this article and all the comments, I am going to start drinking warm water and lemon on an empty stomach without the maple syrup and cayenne. Instead I’ll add green tea and Turmeric to help with my swollen joints. I have heard that key limes are better for you than lemons any truth to that? Thanks Marlene!!!

1) Ulcer in my throat

What would be the reason for this???

I don’t know if this is just a coincidence, but I have been exercising and doing weight training for the last few months and making lots of progress, now I am stuck with stubborn fat. I just started drinking a lot of lemon water in the morning before I eat and throughout the day, and I swear I am seeing improvement in my stomach!

how many lemons do you have to use in your water and how much water do you have to drink in the morning

I have read that 90% of the benefits of lemon are in the skin/pith, and that freezing the lemon before use increases the benefit is that correct?

How much Lemon would you recommend, I have been using the juice of half a lemon, is that enough or would you suggest a whole lemon. Also, if I squeeze the lemon the night before and keep in the fridge, is that ok?

I’ve been squeezing the juice and putting the lemon in my water because that’s all I drink. I have a 32oz bottle I try to get in as much water as I can especially since I work 3rd shift. Since I’ve been drinking lemon water I can tell it has decreased my bloating a lot…which by the way is a constant issue for me. And my energy level has increased. Before all I could do is sleep and now I can enjoy the day. Nothing has worked before and I’ve tried a lot. If in doubt try it! You won’t be disappointed ?

I like my 1 cup coffee first in the am and then my hot lemon water. Do I get the same benefits?

What if I slice the lemon into peices without peeling the back, and boil it for like 10-15 minutes will it still produce a positive result?

Hi Faith
Once you boil food, fruit, vegetables, etc, you change the molecular structure and benefits. So boiling your lemon slices will definitely impact your results. If you like your morning drink to be hot, we recommend that you boil the water first and then add your lemon slices.

By starting your morning with a cup of coffee, you will have already increased your body’s level of acidity and dehydration. This will definitely impact the benefits compared to starting your day with lemon water.

Warm lemon water helps relieve morning sickness and is safe during pregnancy when taken in moderation. Excessive lemon intake could cause heartburn, dental problems, and, if on medication, could result in drug interactions. It is always best to check with your obstetrician.

Lemon water is very healthy but if taken in excess, lemon can cause dental problems, heartburn, and can conflict with medication.

Organic unpasteurized honey is healthy but it is still sugar. Sugar will never help one lose weight. Your best bet is to begin each day with warm lemon water, eating a healthy diet of good quality protein, fruit and vegetables, 8 – 10 glasses of water, limiting your grains, starches and sugar.

We highly recommend that you see your family physician to discover the source of your pain. Kidney stones and liver problems, if that indeed is your issue, can be very serious and should not be self-medicated.

The problem with this is that lemon can conflict with some medication so we recommend that you discuss this with your doctor and/or pharmacist before adding this to your daily regime.

Thanks Vicki. That is a great testimonial for others on our site. Thank you for sharing!

Drinking warm lemon water can be very beneficial but is not a cure for any disease or serious condition. We always recommend that you be under the care of a medical practitioner when dealing with such issues.

Drinking warm lemon water cannot take the place of prescribed medication. Changing your diet, lifestyle, stress levels, and adding exercise, meditation, etc will all benefit your body and well-being. The source of your thyroid imbalance needs to be addressed and monitored by a medical professional. The thyroid plays a major role in regulating many functions of the body and is a vital hormone gland.

Thanks Ashley. Great advice!

For the benefits suggested in this article, it is important to use real lemons and warm, clean water taken first thing in the morning before coffee, tea, or food. It can’t hurt to do this in the evening unless you are consuming an excess of lemons throughout the day.

From what we know, warm lemon water in the morning should not affect your calcium levels but it is best to check with your medical practitioner. Please note, lemons are a rich source of many vitamins and minerals including calcium.

Since you are not boiling the lemon in the water, it should not affect the vitamin c content, and if it does, that effect should be minimal.

Your best benefits are derived from having warm lemon water first thing in the morning. It is a great way of rehydrating after many hours of sleep. We would recommend that you start with the warm lemon water followed by your litre of bulk water as your body requires. Pushing too much water into your body at one time can negatively impact your kidneys and/or bladder. Honey is still sugar so may alter the benefits.

Lemon juice with hot water first thing in the morning helps in bowel movements

Hi Divya
Everything I read tells me that warm lemon water is beneficial for morning sickness BUT we never advise anyone to defy doctor’s orders and, remember, we are each unique and react differently. Try having the warm lemon water mid morning, so not on an empty stomach. If it causes vomiting, then lemon water may not be for you at this time. Wishing you a very healthy baby!

Hi Geeta
Warm lemon water can be good for your hair internally as well as externally.

Hi Debbie Particularly if you are using the skin, please make sure that you are using only organic lemons. Otherwise, as long as you aren’t boiling the lemons, go for it!

Drinking warm lemon water will help alkalize the body and cancer causes the body to be extremely acidic. Lemon water would be only a tiny piece of the puzzle of things that could improve your body’s terrain if cancer has been diagnosed. It would not be considered a “cure”.

No problem, Safaa!

Hi Sharon
The first thing is to see your doctor. Are you hypothyroid? Your thyroid is only one factor that can stop you from losing weight. Once thyroid issues have been ruled out, you may wish to see a Registered Nutritional Consultant. Check out healthhouse.ca in Markham, ON

i drink warm lemon water every morning on an empty belly but i don’t see changes to my belly,am i doing it wrongly or is it that different people react differently to it?

Hi Hannat
Drinking warm lemon water is a great way to improve your health. If your belly is due to a digestion issue, warm lemon water can help. On the other hand, if your belly comes from eating too much sugar, that may be a sign of Metabolic Syndrome.

Hi Stela
Warm lemon water in the morning can be very helpful if you are experiencing morning sickness. Always check with your doctor first.

Hi Penelope
It can help dark spots but it always depends on the cause of the symptoms. Warm lemon water will help to alkalize the body so if the dark spots are due to acidity, it can help.

Hi Julua
We always recommend that you begin a new regime slowly. You could start with half of a lemon (even a quarter if you are very sensitive) and see how your body responds. You can then increase the amount of lemon you are adding according to taste and response.

Hi Alex
Start by adding the juice of 1/2 a lemon to 1 cup of warm water.

Hi Jed
It is always best that you take your medication with simply water. If your doctor approves, you could drink your lemon water an hour or two after taking your medication.

Hi Rita
Unless your doctor says otherwise, there should be no harm in drinking warm lemon water.

Hi Andre
A cold glass of water with lemon & honey (lemonaid) would be very refreshing throughout the day. As discussed in our article, drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning can have many health benefits including weight loss. Honey is sugar, although a healthier version if it is non-pasteurized and organic. Many versions of honey have no honey in them and are only sugar. Sugar is never beneficial for weight loss. We recommend simply lemon and warm water first thing in the morning.

Hi Mary
It can help if your acne is due to acidity. If it is a response to food that you consume like chocolate or cheese or toxicity in the body, it may help but lifestyle changes should also be considered.

Hi Jenna
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar is excellent. It can’t hurt to add it.

Hi Annelise
We are referring to warm water (not hot water) with a half a lemon squeezed into it. Great question!

Hi Pressman
Warm lemon water is an excellent way to improve your health but not a solution to any diagnosed infection or disease.

Hi Adithya
I always wait at least an hour after my warm lemon water before drinking tea or coffee.

Hi Belinda
Good for you!! Stopping 15 cups of coffee daily is an amazing feat. Lemon water is great but too much can irritate your teeth. Try rinsing with warm water after you have your 3rd or 4th mug. It sounds like you are on the right track towards losing weight and feeling better.

Hi Dave
Adding ginger, even turmeric, is great, Ginger & turmeric are excellent anti-inflammatories. For some, starting slowly works better so simply drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning is a huge step towards good health.

Hi Kaycee
That is great! Remember to stay well-hydrated. Drink lots of good quality water throughout the day.

Hi Travis
The juice sounds great. We just aren’t certain that it has never been heated, causing it to lose nutrients. If you are drinking it with warm water and seeing results, that is great. I still prefer fresh, organic lemons and good quality water.

Hi Liz
You have stumped me on this one. It doesn’t sound like anything that I would want to drink, especially first thing in the morning.

Hi Francis
Warm water is easier on your stomach first thing in the morning. Cold water needs to be warmed in your tummy so causes the body to have to do some work. Some of us do not do well with cold drinks.

Hi Mir
Are you seeing benefits from cold lemon water? Try warm water instead and see if you notice a difference. Warm water is easier on our stomachs first thing in the morning.

Hi Sara
I hope that you are seeing benefits from your morning warm lemon water. Weight loss is never, fast. The pounds are slow to come on and slow to come off and require many lifestyle changes to be successful. Try the registered nutritionists at The Health House in Markham, ON

Hi Jenny
Half a lemon is perfect. Squeezing the lemon the night before and keeping it in the fridge ready for the morning should not be a problem.

Hi Ann
If you are using the skin, please make sure that the lemon is organic. I can’t see why freezing the lemon before using would be more beneficial than using a fresh whole organic lemon.

Hi Trini
Try 1/2 of a fresh lemon squeezed into one cup of good quality warm water. Drink it after waking and enjoy!

Hi Gideon
It will definitely help cleanse the urinary system but is not the solution for a bladder or urinary tract infection.

Hi Rita
By squeezing lemon into warm water, you are diluting it. It definitely could have a positive effect on mouth odour.

Hi Carlos
Squeeze one half of a fresh lemon into one 8 oz glass or cup of warm water and drink it first thing in the morning.

Hi Saika
If you aren’t concerned about weight loss, you could add a small amount of non-pasteurized organic honey.

Hi Odibeze
If you are referring to the skin, using lemon with the skin is great as long as the fresh lemon is organic.

Hi Chinmayi
We suggest 1/2 of a fresh lemon squeezed into an 8 oz cup of warm water first thing in the morning. It is very good for digestion.

Hi Tracey
Please check with your doctor. During a flareup, lemon might irritate.

can lemon treat heart burn and can it make one to stop snoring?

As you can see from the comments it does help with many issues. Try it and let us know what happens!

Hi Hannat, yes some people do react differently. The may be some other issues that need to be addressed.

I wouldn’t boil the lemon as you could destroy some of the Vitamin c. Just add some hot water to your cup with 1/3 cup of cool water.

Part of the benefit of lemon and water is to help get the acids out of the body. Drinking coffee is putting your body into a very acidic state. If you didn’t drink the coffee you would get more benefit from the lemon water.

Positive effects is what is reported!

No honey, you would be defeating the purpose of the lemon water and adding sugar to you diet which will not help with weight loss.

Lemon juice can be very helpful for both kidney stones and supporting the liver and digestion.

Hi Linda, I would suggest you ask the doctor that prescribed the medication.

That’s wonderful! Thank you for sharing our experience.

I think you find a lot of benefit by drinking lemon water.

It will help to make some positive changes to the entire body which could certainly help your skin and maybe eye pressure as well.

Lemon water will help to adjust the pH of the tissues which will help you body to absorb more nutrient that the thyroid needs.

Fantastic! Congratulations on the changes you have made!!

Hi Michelle, I would only use a fresh squeezed real lemon not a juice mixture. Yes you can drink lemon water before bed.

Great, let us know your results!

Yes, in fact it will help to prevent you from getting calcium stones.

Yes, that would be a good way to break the fast.

Hi Sharon, exercise will boost your metabolism.

8 ounces of warm or cool water and half of a fresh squeezed lemon.

Squeeze half of a fresh lemon in 8 ounces of warm or cool water and drink. You can purchase a lemon squeezer at a kitchen shop or even the grocery store.

Squeeze half a fresh lemon into 8 ounces of cool, warm or hot water. Enjoy!

Is it more preferable to use ripe lemon or unripe lemon, can it be used to lose belly fat after delivery and can it be taken when taking antibiotics?

hi Marlene. I’m 30years old I’m weighing 94kg. what should I do to loose weight at least up to 75kg?

Hi Vestine
In order to lose weight, each of us needs to look at more than just the calories we consume. We need to change our diet, our lifestyle, become more active, remove some of the things that cause us stress, make sure we are getting enough sleep, etc. A check-up with your doctor to make sure that you have no health challenges and a visit to a certified practitioner that can take your history and guide you on how to much the right changes would be a great place to start. Check out healthhouse.ca to work with a Registered Nutritional Consultant.

Hi Prisci
Fruit is always best after it ripens. Check with your doctor first to make sure lemon is not contraindicated with your particular antibiotics. Always preferable to take probiotics during and after antibiotics. Warm lemon water is a great place to begin. Cutting sugar from your diet is important to lose belly fat.

Hi Keykey
Yes, room temperature will work just as well!

Hi Shuvo:
Warm lemon water on an empty stomach can minimize the formation of kidney stones, help eliminate small stones, and minimize belly fat.

Hi Nicolene
I am not sure about your reference to “lemon juice”. If your skin feels like it is burning when drinking the warm lemon water or consuming lemons, you may be allergic to lemons. In that case, you shouldn’t eat or drink lemons. It is always good to check with your physician.

Hi Charlie
Room temperature is fine.

Hi Melinda
It can be tap water but I always prefer to use purified or reverse osmosis water.

Hi Eugene
You can definitely add mint but please remember that honey is still sugar. At night before bed is fine.

Hi David
Lemon water can help alkalize the body. If the body is acidic, it will leach calcium from the bones to alkalize it. The excess calcium can create kidney stones as it moves out of the body. When the stones are small, lemon water and water, in general, are important to help flush them out of the body.

Any water will work but it is always preferable to use clean, healthy water.

Hi Maryamawit
Yes, drinking it in the evening before bed can be beneficial as well.

Hi Fritz
1/2 a lemon with 1 8 oz glass of water

Hi Pamela
Instead of lemon juice, it is much better to use 1/2 of a fresh lemon in a 8 oz glass of warm water.

Hi Karen
Thanks for sharing. It sounds like your lemon water is helping you clear out excess mucous first thing in the morning.

Hi Leona
1/2 fresh lemon squeezed into 8 oz of warm water first thing in the morning.

Hi Maryjane
Losing weight always involves making changes – in diet, exercise, lifestyle, stress levels, etc. When you make healthier choices, you are more likely to feel better, have more energy, and begin to normalize your weight.

Hi Dorothy
Drinking warm lemon water in the morning can be helpful in many ways. For a specific health issue, it is always best to see your doctor.

Hi Rahi
Drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning is not a recipe for losing weight but has many healthy benefits for everyone whether their weight is too high or too low.

Hi Simrankaur
Warm lemon water first thing in the morning can be beneficial for most of us and is not a recipe for weight loss. It can help normalize weight as one of its very many benefits.

Hi Jermaine
It helps alkalize the body so could help improve your skin. If you are concerned, try starting with a 1/4 of a fresh lemon, or less, in an 8 oz glass of warm water.

Hi Elizabeth
Lemon water is not a “cure” for any disease or condition but is one way to begin making healthy changes that can improve your state of health.

Hi Dina
Honey is still a sugar so it is always best to drink the warm lemon water without sweetener. If you do add 1 tsp of honey, make sure it is unpasteurized, raw, organic honey. Otherwise it may contain no honey, just sugar. Thanks for sharing your success.

Hi Laurie
1/2 fresh lemon in 8 oz warm water is best.

Hi
It is best to use fresh lemon. Bottled juices are heated so lose many of their ingredients’ nutrients.

Hi Edgardo
Lemon is acidic outside of the body with a PH of about 2. Once it is digested, it becomes alkalizing. Check it out. Test your urine with PH strips before drinking lemon water. After you start drinking lemon water every morning, start testing your urine.

Hi Ariana
Not all Essential Oils are certified as safe taken internally. To be safe, it is preferable to use a fresh lemon.

I’ve been drinking lemon water first thing each morning for about 2yrs. Just one slice in hot water which I add a squeeze of honey. I have lost about 10lbs without dieting. It also helps my Crohns symptoms. I then rinse with water so as not to harm my teeth with the acidity from the lemon. I swear by it.

Hi Nicole
Try drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning and see how you feel. Once you feel better, you may have more incentive to quit smoking.

Hi Uche
It can’t hurt. Try it and see if you find that changes are happening.

Hi Dharmendra
It is always best to do a natural drink or supplement away from a pharmaceutical medication by at least an hour. If you don’t need to take your thyroid medication first thing, you may want to start with the warm lemon water, wait 15-30 minutes and then have your cold water followed by your medication in about 30 minutes, as directed by your physician.

Hi Moire
We are recommending warm lemon water as a drink and not to be applied directly onto the skin. By changing the PH of the body, you may find an improvement in your skin. We are each unique so respond differently.

For most, one glass of warm lemon water in the morning with nothing added is all that they need to see favorable changes. You can drink it more often throughout the day as long as it doesn’t irritate your teeth or your stomach.

Hi Ann
Try it and see what benefits you achieve. It doesn’t work the same way for everyone.

I have learned a lot about hot lemon water. Thanks for your time Marlene. Hope this will help me too.

You are welcome! As you can see many people have had good results with lemon water.

Wow, that’s great! Thank you for sharing your experience!!

Yes, the lemon water will not cause you to lose weight if you do not need to.

Hi Anupaddu
It is always worth trying. Please let us know how you do!

Hi Heidi
If you wish to continue drinking your 1-2 cups of coffee per day, wait at least an hour after your lemon water. Lemon water will help to alkalize your body while coffee will acidify it. Coffee may have a negative effect on some of its benefits.

Hi Kellie
Luke water is fine. Cold water is hard on your digestive system.

Hi Jazz
That is an interesting way to do this. I would think that if you can consume 2 lemons undiluted, you would be fine with warm lemon water which should be much less acidic to the stomach. Thanks for letting us know about the benefits that you have seen.

Hi Raina
As long as your doctor does not disapprove, try it and please let us know how you do!

Hi Hanie
Many of our readers have commented that it has helped them reduce belly fat. We all respond differently but give it a try and please let us know your results.

Hi Jibran
Warm lemon water, as you describe it, may be very beneficial. My question to you, though, is where is your protein? Protein is an essential part of any diet. If you have difficulty adding protein into your diet, you might want to try a consultation with a registered nutritionist The Health House in Markham, ON

Good for you Ronda. Please let us know!!

Hi Kimberly
Have you or your dental professional noticed any dental enamel breakdown? If not, and you are simply concerned, you can rinse your mouth with plain water after each cup of lemon water. You could also cut back to lemon water once or twice a day.

Hi Ress
Lemon water will not cause you to lose weight if you do not need to lose weight. Enjoy!!

Hi Lance
It sounds like warm lemon water first thing in the morning could be very helpful to you. Are you drinking enough water throughout the day? Please check with your doctor about your swollen ankles if you do not see improvement.

Hi Ayobami
My first question is whether you have been checked by your doctor for constant chest pain. If you are cleared, then you might try warm lemon water and see if you find an improvement.

Hi Carolyn
Have you seen your doctor about your hernia? Your doctor’s recommendations always come first. Once your hernia is taken care of, lemon water can be very helpful in losing weight.

Hi Lourembam
Warm lemon water may be very helpful to people with kidney stones and may help preventing future stones.

Hi Rani
Are you being treated medically for the stomach ulcer? Did your doctor give you a list of foods that you should avoid? If lemons are not on that list and if you want to try having warm lemon water, try starting with just a squeeze of lemon in 8 oz glass of water. If it doesn’t irritate your stomach ulcer, and you see improvements, you can slowly increase the amount of lemon that you use.

Hi Marlys
Bottled juices have to be sterilized so they are boiled in hot water. This causes a loss of nutrients which would change the benefits that you would achieve.

Hi Patti
Lukewarm or warm water are preferred. 1/2 a squeezed lemon into 8 oz of water.

Hi Shaz
We suggest that you take your warm lemon water at least an hour away from medication. If your Synthroid has to be taken first, then wait an hour and drink your warm lemon water.

Hi Prasad
Not a problem but you can try having a glass of plain water immediately after your lemon water. Perhaps the lemon water is helping your body to let you know that you are dehydrated.

Hi Vineeth
Whatever time you wake up, and stay up, is the best time to have your warm lemon water.

Hi Tariq
If you have a blood pressure monitor at home, try taking your BP before and after taking the warm lemon water. Try doing this for a few days and see if your blood pressure goes down or up afterwards. If it goes up each time, stop the lemon water. Otherwise, give it a few weeks and see how you do.

Good question Deb. Bottled juice and the juice in the plastic lemon must be sterilized before it can be sold. This requires boiling and that will reduce the nutritional, in particular, the vitamin c content of the lemon water.

Warm lemon water has many benefits including changing the PH of the body. PH levels can be a problem in infertility. Try it and see what results you achieve. Please let us know.

Hi Christy
Splenda is high in fructose which we would never recommend. If you need to sweeten the warm lemon water, a little honey would definitely be a better choice.

Hi Tangelee
If you do not need to lose weight, lemon water will not cause you to do so. Give it a try!

Hi Mandy
Try having the warm lemon water every morning and see what happens!

Hi Sudha
Those are great results. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Ullika
This is a new one for us. Thanks for sharing!

Hi MJ
Yes it can be frozen without losing its benefits. Before using the lemon cubes, let them thaw and warm first.

Hi Kevin
We are all so different that this is a difficult question to answer. You will only know by experimenting with both. You may wish to alternate the days or drink them an hour apart every morning or even add Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and the Wildflower honey to your warm lemon water.

Hi Mike
Yes, unless it irritates your stomach or your teeth.

Hi Mariela
Our suggestion is for using lemon water first thing in the morning. 1/2 lemon with 8 oz of warm water. If you don’t like lemons and want to substitute limes, give it a try and see what happens.

Hi Cleo
Half a lemon in 8 oz of warm water. Enjoy!

Hi Gowri
Yes, you can drink it at night after dinner. It is best on an empty stomach, particularly first thing in the morning.

Hi Octavia
Yes, room temperature water is fine.

Hi Samantha
You can drink it throughout the day unless the lemons irritate your teeth or your stomach.

Hi Ruth
We recommend lemon water but you can definitely try lime water and see how it goes.

Thanks for sharing James.

Hi Glenda
Try and see how it goes.

Hi Frederick
Lemon juice in bottles or cartons are sterilized in boiling water so nutrients are lost. We prefer 1/2 fresh lemon in 8 oz of (ordinary) water.

Hi Denise
Are you drinking enough water throughout the day? I could possibly see too many lemons causing irritation but unlikely to cause an infection. Check with your doctor.

Hi Yolanda
Benefits are different for everyone. Try having warm lemon water daily and check your blood pressure. Please let us know.

Hi James
Warm or room temperature water are preferred. Cold water has to be warmed by the stomach so can be hard on your digestion.

Hi Sara
Lemon water can be helpful to prevent kidney stones. We are not sure if it can help with CKD. Drinking water is important. You can try adding lemon.

Hi Favour
Boiling lemon will remove some of the nutrients. We suggest adding 1/2 fresh lemon to 8 oz of warm or room temperature water.

Hi Fateh
Fresh lemon in room temperature water first thing in the morning is fine.

Hi Zoi
Room temperature water is fine.

Hi Chris
We can’t recommend warm lemon water to cure any disease but you can definitely try and see what benefits you feel.

Hi Kay
Warm lemon water is great for the immune system. It can have some pretty amazing benefits. With a fatty liver, it all depends on the cause and usually demands more lifestyle and diet changes as well. Working with a registered nutritional consultant is a great way to begin changing your health. Check out the nutritionists at The Health House in Markham, ON

Hi Yolanda
Warm lemon water is great for the immune system and wouldn’t be contraindicated with chemotherapy. A healthy immune system is important in fighting all cancers. Best of luck with your treatment & recovery!

Hi Gary
1/2 lemon and 8 oz of warm water

Hi Ajay
Warm lemon water is great for the immune system. With a cold, you also may want to try adding ginger. Definitely while you have the cold to help the immune system do its job.

Hi Williams
Warm lemon water is great for the immune system and as long as you are not allergic to lemons, helpful with allergies. You will only know it affects you by drinking it every morning on an empty stomach.

Hi Noeline
Lemonade is generally cold and has sugar in it and could even come from a mix or a bottle. That would not do the same job. We are recommending 1/2 fresh lemon in warm or room temperature water on an empty stomach.

Hi Parvati
We never tell you not to take prescribed medication. Please let us know how you did with the lemon water.

Hi Tim
We haven’t heard of any negative effects unless someone finds that the lemons irritate their stomach or teeth. If you don’t need to lose weight, drinking lemon water will not cause weight loss.

Thanks for sharing Mark. You must be thrilled with your results! Keep it up!!!

Hi Raju
Fresh lemon in warm or room temperature water can improve many areas of your health. Cold water is hard on the digestive system. Warm lemon water can be very beneficial for the liver.

Thanks Karen. I am happy that you are benefitting from our articles and the comments from our readers. Pharmaceutical laxatives can be very harsh on the colon and are usually recommended to be taken for a short time. Some herbal products cause the colon to turn a very dark colour which is not harmful but can make diagnosis difficult when having a colonoscopy or xray.

Hi Celeste
Yes, you can drink this throughout the day unless too much lemon irritates your stomach or your teeth. You may wish to rinse your mouth with plain water after each cup.

Hi Samah
You will only know by giving it a try. Please begin with about 1/4 of a fresh lemon in warm water, sipping it slowly on an empty stomach. If you have no irritation, you can then increase to 1/2 of a fresh lemon and enjoy!

Hi Debbie
The problem with real lemon is that it contains preservatives. The body does not recognize chemicals or preservatives as healing.

Lemon by itself can be irritating to the stomach and your teeth. By squeezing 1/2 a fresh lemon into 8 oz of warm water, this can be prevented.

Hi Akash
It isn’t lemon juice but fresh lemon in warm water. It can definitely help your digestive system, including acidity and gas.

Hi Jean
It depends on which make of essential oil and whether it is safe to be taken internally. You may wish to contact the company for the answer to this question.

Hi Joshua
Thanks so much for sharing all of your information with our readers. Much appreciated!

Hi Inara
Green tea does have caffeine so may interfere with sleep. Honey is still sugar so if you are trying to lose weight, it is best to have your warm lemon water with no honey.

Lemon juice may have preservatives and also may be boiled causing it to lose nutrients. There is nothing like fresh lemons.

Thanks for sharing, Andrea. Very encouraging for our sceptics!

Hi Boni
No guarantees. Only by trying will you know if you achieve the benefits that you these benefits. It may take persistence and patience.

Hi Sarah,
Fresh lemons please! You do not want to ingest the preservatives in bottled lemon juice or lose the nutrients due to the heating process.

Hi Nithya
Warm lemon water will not cause weight loss if you have no weight to lose. Enjoy!

Hi Rebecca
Warm lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning can help with belly fat reduction but the most effective way to lose it is to cut sugar from your diet. The two together can bring incredible results!

Hi Janice
Our recipe calls for 1/2 a fresh lemon in 8 oz of warm water (not 18 oz unless you want to dilute it to prevent stomach or teeth irritation).

Hi Chris
1/2 fresh lemon to 8 oz warm water. Whenever juicing, the recommendation is always to drink it right away or refrigerate it and have the other half the following day. The longer it sits in the fridge, the fewer nutrients that remain.

Hi Deepu
As we have heard from many of our readers, it can help you reduce your weight. Remember, changing your diet, lifestyle, exercise, and stress levels are also great important to help you lose weight.

Hi Donna
It is always best to take medication by itself, either an hour before or after your lemon water.

Thanks Gene. Our recommendation is 1/2 fresh lemon to 8 oz of warm water.

Hi Becky
You can try it but start slowly with a small piece of lemon in 8 oz or more of warm water. If you experience zero irritation, then you can slowly increase the size of the lemon until you are having 1/2 lemon with 8 oz or more of warm water. If you do experience irritation, than you may not be ready for lemon water at this time.

Hi Irene
Have your lemon water at least 20 minutes before breakfast. You notice that I said lemon water, not lemon juice. So, yes, 1/2 fresh lemon in 8 oz of warm water.

Hi Kudakwashe
Give it a try. It takes time and patience to sometimes achieve the specific benefits that you desire. You will only know by doing it.

Hi Antony
1/2 fresh lemon to 8 oz of warm water

Warm lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning can help reduce weight and belly fat but cutting sugar (and bread) out of your diet will help speed up the process.

Hi Mamta
You may want to begin by having them at least 20 minutes apart. Once you know how the warm lemon water makes you feel, you may wish to try to have them together.

Hi Enbee
It is best to wait at least an hour after the warm lemon water.

Hi Lyka
Our recommendation is 1/2 fresh lemon to 8 oz warm water (not boiling water). Unless your lemons are particularly large, you may want to start having more than 1/7 of a lemon daily.

Hi Bhim
1/2 fresh lemon (not lemon juice) in 8 oz warm water on an empty stomach in the morning. Lemons have slightly more Vitamin C than Limes – nutritionally they are a bit different. There is no problem combining the two and seeing how you feel.

Hi Ebehiagorua
Usually hyperthyroidism causes weight loss and hypothyroidism results in difficulty losing weight. Warm lemon water (not lemon juice) should help you in either case.

Hi Sandii
I would think that the amount of liquids would be restricted. Warm lemon water could be very helpful but just be sure that the amount of fluid going into the body doesn’t exceed the amount of fluid passing out of the body.

Great article. Thanks

Hi Teekay
With pharmaceutical prescriptions, the word “cure” is used. With natural remedies, we give the body the nutrients or tools that it needs, clean things up in the environment, and the body removes the symptoms that it uses to tell us that something is wrong. Drinking warm lemon water will improve the body’s health. Only by drinking it daily will you really know what changes will happen.

Hi Glenda
I would think that it would help unless the acidity in the lemon irritates whatever is causing your dry mouth. Try it and please let us know.

Hi Tina
Drinking warm lemon water by itself cannot reverse an autoimmune condition. An autoimmune condition is the body attacking itself. This always involves a toxic terrain – as if your house is really clean but the basem*nt is full of garbage. Eventually, it will affect the entire house. There many changes that you need to make to work on trying to reverse any autoimmune condition. It would be wise for you to work with a Registered Nutritional Consultant. Check out our nutritionists at: The Health House in Markham, ON Consultation in person or on line.

Hi Niba
That sounds fine to me.

Hi Leonard
That should be fine.

Hi David
I am not sure what you mean by lemon tea. What we are recommending is 1/2 of a fresh lemon squeezed into warm water. Warm or room temperature water is preferred.

Hi Michael
Cold water is hard on the digestive system – it can shut it down. Warm or room temperature water is much better.

Hi Anik
Cold water is too hard on the digestive system. Drinking it after dinner can slow down or impact the digestion of the food that you recently eat and for most people, it is the biggest meal of the day. Always use warm or room temperature water. If you can only drink the warm lemon water in the evening, try and see how it goes but only on an empty stomach so at least 60 to 90 minutes after dinner.

Hi Dee
Not lemon juice but 1/2 of a fresh lemon squeezed into 8 oz of warm water.

Hi Judy
Real Lemon juice has preservatives so will not have the same effect. We are trying to clean up the toxicity in the body.

Hi Linda
Stevia is fine. Honey is ok as long as you are not trying to lose weight.

Hi Jay
Lemons can be hard on the teeth and gums. That is one of the reasons that we recommend it diluted in warm water. You can also rinse your mouth with plain water after the drink. If you would like to start once a week, see how it goes. If it isn’t irritating to your games you can slowly increase how often you drink it.

Hi Lori
Cold or ice water shuts down your digestive system. Can you tolerate room temperature water?

Hi Teekay
Lemon juice is higher in Vitamin C than lime juice but lime juice has many nutritional benefits as well. If you don’t like lemon juice, try lime and see how it goes. The benefits may not be the same but it is still a good thing to do for your health.

Hi Subair
As long as the water isn’t cold when you drink it, that would be fine.

Hi Subair
Yes, you can mix hot and cold water as long as it is warm or room temperature when it reaches your stomach. It can help with belly fat. If you belly fat keeps increasing, you may be consuming too much sugar or bread or starch. Cutting out these things can also make a big difference.

Hi Stella
Warm lemon water should be fine. You can test your blood before and after to be sure.

Hi Joe
Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, natural remedies will not cure or claim to cure any disease. It does, however, help detoxify and de-acidify the body helping the body to begin to heal itself.

Hi Claudia
It can only add to the benefits. Keep up the good work!

Hi Paul
Warm lemon water can improve the functioning of your entire digestive system. Make sure that it doesn’t irritate the hemorrhoids. It shouldn’t but we are all unique.

Hi Idrees
Drinking warm lemon water can be very beneficial to helping the body heal itself. If you need more help, you may want to consult with a Registered Nutritionist. Try contacting
The Health House, Markham, ON

Hi Bhaskar
If you are allergic to lemons you should not eat or drink anything with lemons. Are you also allergic to limes? If not, you can try warm lime water – 1/2 lime to 8 oz of warm water.
If the lemons irritate your stomach, that usually isn’t a true allergy. You may want to start with only 1/4 or 1/8 of a lemon with the 8 or more oz of warm water. Warm or room temperature water is fine just not cold or ice water.

Hi Timmy
Not that we know but check with your doctor.

Hi Artemio
Yes, it would be very beneficial. Not lemon juice but 1/2 a fresh lemon in 8 oz of warm water on an empty stomach.

Thanks Esther. We really appreciate you sharing your success.

Hi Carrie
1/2 a fresh lemon to 8 oz warm water. Good luck!

Hi Alisha
Cold or ice water shuts down your digestion so the benefits would not be the same.

Hi Madu
It is important not to drink it cold – it will shut down your digestion. Boiling the lemon will also destroy some of its nutrient content. The longer the drink sits in the fridge, the fewer vitamins. So, the benefits will not be the same.

Hi Noy
It is important to check with your doctor to see exactly what is going on. You may have a rheumatic or arthritic condition. Regardless of the condition, drinking warm lemon water every morning on an empty stomach can be very helpful. Also, gentle movement daily; like walking, swimming, tai chi or qicong or feldenkrais can be extremely helpful.

Hi Amit
Please check with your dentist to make sure that lemons won’t be too acidic during your treatment. The recommended recipe is 1/2 fresh lemon squeezed into 8 oz of warm water in the morning on an empty stomach.

Hi Artemio
Yes it could be very helpful.

Hi Eugenia
Please remember, it is lemon water, not lemon juice. Sea salt is very healthy. You can try it and see how it helps.

Hi Rita
Warm lemon water can be very helpful in gently removing toxicity from the body allowing the body to heal itself. You may notice increased elimination which is a good thing unless it is something like explosive diarrhea. Generally, there should be no negative side effects.

Hi Paul
We recommend 1/2 fresh lemon in 8 oz of warm (not hot) water. Raw honey (unless you are trying to lose weight) and cinnamon would make an excellent addition. Apple Cider Vinegar is terrific too. My only warning would be not to make this drink too acidic or it could have adverse effects on your stomach or teeth.

Hi Bindeeba
I believe that you are referring to high blood pressure. Warm lemon water can be very helpful. Something that you are eating daily can be complicit in this issue. If you are dizzy and falling down, especially first thing in the morning, please see your doctor and find out if the two are related or what else could be going on.

Hi Stella
Warm lemon water and ginger could be very effective. Ginger and turmeric are great additions when there is inflammation in the body. Lemons are alkalizing to the body so also a benefit to those with arthritis.

Hi Aditya
Usually salt would be added if you have problems hydrating. In that case, good quality grey celtic sea salt can be very helpful.

Hi Eddy
Sounds perfect to me.

Hi Chiboss
1/2 lemon with 8 oz warm water

Hi Chinedu
Lemon alone can be too acidic for your teeth or stomach if just squeezed without diluting it with warm water.

Hi Alexa
Try it and see.

Hi
A few days of warm lemon water should not have made that kind of difference. Actually, it should have been cleansing. You can rarely tell what is going on after just one cycle.

Hi Philip
It may be helpful for you to see a registered nutritional consultant to help guide you with respect to changes in diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress etc. Try contacting The Health House, Markham, ON

Hi Swuppa
Warm lemon water every morning will not result in weight loss for those that do not need to lose weight. Enjoy your drink!

Hi Rosalinda
Lemon juice in bottles and RealLemon do have preservatives which you wouldn’t use when trying to cleanse your body. The best results will always be from 1/2 of a freshly squeezed lemon in warm water.

Hi John
Yes. Warm lemon water is very cleansing for the liver.

Warm lemon water will not cause weight loss if you do not need to lose weight. If you are concerned, you may also add organic unpasteurized honey.

Hi Jamie
It all depends if the essential oils brand that you are using is guaranteed to be safe taken internally. I have tried it but there is nothing like 1/2 a fresh lemon. It even tastes better.

Hi Ishwar
Warm lemon water, not lemon juice, on an empty stomach first thing in the morning can be very cleansing for the liver. The second part of your question is more difficult to answer. I am not sure if you are talking about after a drink the previous evening or alcoholism.

Hi Enoch
No, it wouldn’t Black tea is full of caffeine which is not healthy and many brands have other additives as well.

Hi Rahma
Warm lemon water, not lemon juice, is not a cure for any disease. It is a great way to help the body cleanse and move towards healing in a gentle and safe manner.

Hi Kya
Although lemon is considered to be an acidic fruit, it is alkalizing to the body when taken internally. Generally, protein and carbs are acidic to the body. Vegetables and fruit (and minerals) are alkalizing. The question is why are you alkaline? Generally a desirable urine PH is 6.8 to 7.2. If your PH is higher, you should check with your healthcare provider to see what is going on.

Hi Katherine
1/2 fresh lemon squeezed into warm or room temperature water (not hot). How quickly it takes effect depends on your body. Fast is not always best. Gentle and effective are preferred.
Drink and enjoy!

Hi Dorcas
Yes! It should be fine with both.

Hi Solly
That all depends on your diet, lifestyle, exercise, and stress levels. Warm lemon water will definitely help but does not work alone if we continue old habits.

We grate lemon rind, squeeze the juicy flesh in a teapot full of water, let it soak overnight & drink it as the first thing in the morning with a little warm water. Does this meet the minimum Vitamin C intake requirement per day?

Lemon water is it good before or after brushing the mouth with toothpaste

Hi, I have been taking lemon in the morning for a year now, my face seems to be smoother, could this be effects of the lemon?

Hi Anthony
Yes, it could be!

Hi Olayinka
Either way would be fine.

Hi Arijit
Sounds good. The minimum RDA requirement is only 60 mg but that is not nearly enough. !/2 lemon daily would not be sufficient for all of your vitamin C requirements but is a great start.

Hi Kanak
Anything that you do to benefit your health will be helpful. Warm lemon water every morning will definitely improve your health in many ways.

Hi
Wait at least 15 minutes. Everyone’s results are different but you should notice some changes within the first few weeks.

Hi Limib
Yes it does. Cutting sugar out of your diet will also make a big difference in the reduction of belly fat.

Hi Shelley
The best benefits are achieved on an empty stomach although having it after breakfast will help you digest your meal.

Hi Debbie
That would be a question best answered by your Pharmacist.

Hi Ameenah
Once we squeeze the juice from the fruit and let it sit longer than a day or two, the benefits are less because nutrients are lost.
Limes are excellent too but they are lower in Vitamin C content and the nutrients are not the same.

Hi Onyeka
Ginger is also an excellent addition – for digestion and inflammation.

Hi Neetha
Lemon by itself can be very acidic to the teeth and stomach. It is much safer to dilute it in water.

Hi Chel
It is always best to take medications by themselves. If you can wait 15-20 minutes, have your drink first otherwise have the medications and wait 15-20 minutes before having your drink. As you see changes, you can discuss lowering your medication a little bit at a time with your doctor’s help and advice.

Hi Rita
The most accurate test for h pylori is a breath test at a lab.

Hi May
Lemons are higher in vitamin C than limes and the nutrition content differs as well. Limes are also very healthy so would be beneficial if you prefer limes to lemons.

Hi Joel
1/2 fresh lemon in 8 oz warm water on an empty stomach at least 15-20 minutes before food.

Hi Rey
Cold water shuts down digestion which is why we recommend warm or room temperature water.

Hi Raje
Warm lemon water will not cause weight loss unless you need to lose weight. It is excellent to improve digestion. You may be underweight because you are not digesting, absorbing, or assimilating your food and nutrients.

Hi Oluwaseyi
The longer it sits after cutting the lemon open, the fewer the vitamins so the benefits diminish as well.

Hi Elaine
1/2 fresh lemon squeezed into 8 oz of warm water.

Hi Elaine
Reconstituted lemon juice has preservatives and loses vitamins when it is sterilized. The benefits would definitely not be the same.

Hi Godwin
Lemons, once digested, are alkalizing to the body but when first consumed are acidic so can be very irritating to the teeth and stomach, particularly if you have an ulcer. Heal the ulcer first. After that, you can try a small amount of fresh lemon diluted in a large glass of water and see if it is irritating.

Hi Patti
Yes, you absolutely can!

Hi Aidee
Adding ginger to your warm lemon water is not a problem. Ginger is great for the digestion and for inflammation. Adding cucumber would also not be a problem. Drinking water all day long is great. BUT, the problem arises if that is all that you are consuming. Your body needs protein. This type of weight loss is water and muscle loss. If you lose muscle, when you start to eat food again, your metabolism will be slower and you will regain the weight but what you regain will be fat, not muscle. That is one of the main reasons why we tend to get heavier with every diet that we try. There are no quick fixes. Eating a healthy diet including good quality protein, veggies, and fruit, cutting out sugar and starch, no fast foods, no late night snacking, exercise, drinking water…. still the best way to shed those pounds.

Hi Nzekwe
Unfortunately, lemons alone will not cure serious infections which should not be left untreated. Once the infections are gone, they can, however, help to prevent future ones.

Hi Rajan
Unless specified, lemon water should not be contraindicated but I wouldn’t take it at the same time as your medication. Warm lemon water, diet and lifestyle changes, all contribute to Cancer and disease prevention.

Hi Twahera
If you must, please take your medication first and then wait at least 20 minutes to an hour before having your warm lemon water. Or, if you do not need to take your medication as soon as you wake up, you could have your warm lemon water and wait at least 15 to 20 minutes before the medication.nThe reason I suggest waiting longer if you take your medication first is because sometimes enzymes from certain foods can conflict with absorption or efficacy of some pharmaceutical drugs.

Hi Shiva
I need a little more information. I get digestive problem which could definitely be helped by drinking warm lemon water but am not sure what you mean by Mng Flush.

Hi Rahmah
Yes, of course, unless it irritates her teeth or stomach. To begin, try giving her 1/8 or 1/4 of a fresh lemon squeezed into 1/2 glass of warm or room temperature water and see if she likes it.

Hi Yuber
Not necessarily. You can squeeze a small whole lemon into one glass of warm, not hot, water unless it irritates your teeth or stomach.

Hi
If you are waiting 20 minutes, the lime won’t affect what you are drinking afterwards. I suggest that you stop the hot milk because dairy creates mucus in the body and is not well tolerated by most adults. Interestingly, we are the only animal that drinks the milk of another animal after two years of age.

Hi Tina
It is important to stay away from food and drink that irritate Crohn’s. Ginger can be very healing during a flareup so you can substitute ginger, if lemon is irritating. You could try a small amount of lemon squeezed into a large cup of warm water and see if it is irritating. If not, go ahead and have your lemon water with or without ginger. Lemon juice, on the other hand, can be very aggravating at this time due to the additives and sugars.

Hi Heidi
Thanks for sharing. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery.

Hi Gale
The only way to know how you will respond is to try small amounts and see how you feel. If you are ok with apple cider vinegar, you should also be fine with warm lemon water. Please remember to only use a fresh lemon, not a bottled juice. Warm water is much gentler to the digestive system than hot water.

Hi Suz
Try the lemon water first and see if you see benefits on your skin.

Hi Cyril
The magnesium in the lemon can be very beneficial to balance blood pressure.

Hi Lucy
The high quantity of vitamin C in the lemon can be very helpful in reducing the symptoms or shortening the length of a cold.

Hi Abdedamola
Warm lemon water will help with weight loss but it is not a crash diet.

Hi Joe
1/2 freshly squeezed lemon in 1 cup of warm water.

Hi Nish*tha
Lemon concentrate will always have preservatives/chemicals in it so is not going to make you healthier. We only recommend using fresh lemons.

Hi Daniel
Bad breath often comes from undigested food in the stomach. Warm lemon water is great to help with your digestion.

Hi Joy
Drinking warm lemon water will help with weight loss but it is important to also add changes to your diet, lifestyle, exercise routine, and stress levels. It is impossible to change everything at once. Warm lemon water every morning is a great way to start and slowly add changes that will support your desire to lose weight. You may need the help of a nutritional professional. Try contacting us at
The Health House, Markham, ON

Hi Mary
No, please. Splenda is high in fructose which can actually cause weight gain. The only sweetener we would recommend would be unpasteurized honey and that only if you do not wish to lose weight.

Hi Pankaj
One glass every morning on an empty stomach.

Hi Mavie
It should be a great way to start your day and not interfere with your treatment. Wishing you health!

Hi Pankaj
Warm lemon water on an empty stomach every morning can be very helpful to reduce belly fat. Also cutting out sugar from your diet would make a huge difference.

Hi Mohammad
I am not sure if you are just taking lemon juice or actually drinking warm lemon water using 1/2 a fresh lemon squeezed into warm water.
Adding ginger or garlic, if this is your preference, should be fine.

Hi Dev
1/2 fresh lemon to 1 cup of warm water. Adding some raw, unpasteurized honey is fine unless you are trying to lose weight. Our only requirement is that you have it before food by at least 15 to 20 minutes.

Is it ok to eat a Grapefruit straight after drinking warm Lemon juice?

Can lemon Orange can be squeez in jug and keep it for refrigerator cold for using some days before while using it little by little ?

Hi Benson
That sounds like a great and refreshing drink but if you are looking for health benefits, fruits (and vegetables) lose their nutritional value daily after you slice them open. Your best results will come by slicing the fresh lemon, and orange, if you like, and squeezing it (them) into a glass or cup of warm or room temperature water and drinking them at that time on an empty stomach.

Hi Asad
Grapefruit is an interesting fruit. It is contraindicated with many pharmaceutical drugs. It is also a bit acidic so the lemon followed by the grapefruit could irritate your stomach and definitely might be too acidic for your teeth in combination with the lemon water. But, on the other hand, if you aren’t bothered by that, you can eat the grapefruit right after the lemon water.

Hi Jennifer
Lemon juice, if not from a fresh lemon, will not have the same nutritional content. It will have been processed so will lose nutrients and it may also include additional ingredients. I don’t see a problem using the warm guava leaf water.

Hi Alfonso
Cold water is hard on the digestion which is why we recommend warm or room temperature water.

Hi Neera
If you enjoy the taste, there should be no problem combining the two.

Hi Aakanksha
I have never heard that one! There are no hormones in warm lemon water.

Hi Showkat
I am not sure if your acidity is your PH or acidity in your stomach. If it is stomach acidity, the lemon water could irritate that. I would recommend that you see a Registered Nutritional Consultant to help you with food recommendations and supplementation suggestions. Please check out our clinic at: The Health House in Markham, ON

Hi Diana
It should be fine but I would start with just a squeeze of lemon in warm water and see how the baby responds. If there is no problem, you can gradually increase the amount of lemon that you add until you are at 1/4 or 1/2 a fresh lemon. Congratulations on the birth of your baby!

Hi Patson
One glass a day is great!

Hi Mrs Emvula
Interesting question. It may have had no effect or a balancing effect. If you are concerned, please check with your doctor.

Hi Kelechi
You can have your lemon water 20 minutes before your medication or an hour after your medication in the morning.

Hi Tori
We are each unique so our results will not be the same. So much depends on your health history, diet, exercise, lifestyle, stress, medications, toxicity, etc. You will only know its effects for you by trying it.

Hi Voight
Warm lemon water (fresh lemon not lemon juice) can definitely help the process but you also need to look at your diet, stress level, lifestyle, etc. Drinking 8-10 glasses of clean water is also very important. As you make changes, you may want to start with walking and eventually go back to running.

Hi Muhammad
Both men and women can benefit from drinking warm lemon water on an empty stomach. We do suggest warm water, not hot. Boiling the lemon can cause it to lose many nutrients.

Hi Psalmer
No problem with the skin on. You may want to wait until it cools down a bit before adding the lemon slices.

Hi Sagar
Warm or room temperature water please. Cold water can slow down your digestion. Proper digestion is very important, particularly for weight loss.

Hi Isaiah
Yes, it is possible, but you also may want to look at your diet, exercise, lifestyle, etc. If you are eating a lot of sugar, junk food, fast food, lemon water may not be the answer.

Hi Lodi
If you can wait 20 minutes, you can have your morning coffee after the lemon water. If you prefer to have the lemon water after lunch, you should wait one hour after eating.

Hi Rosa
1/2 fresh lemon and 1 cup of warm water. This can help begin the process but it is important to also look at your diet, exercise, stress level, etc.

Hi Florence
Food is not like medication. It will change the environment in the body but is not a 7 or 10 day prescription. If you have a serious infection, you would need to have that looked at by a doctor.

Hi Kathy
Since green tea has caffeine, I wouldn’t combine it with the lemon water. Have your lemon water first and wait 20 minutes before having your tea.

Hi Zazhota
Drinking lemon with warm water won’t cause gastritis but it can irritate it.

Hi Temitope
Lipton tea has caffeine so you don’t want to combine it with the lemon water for health benefits. Otherwise, adding lemon to your tea makes a great drink.

Hi Jessi
I would suggest that you drink your warm lemon water in the afternoon at least an hour after eating or in the evening so as not to conflict with your medication.
If you medication was not impacted by Vitamin C, you could have waited an hour after brushing your teeth and taking your medication.

Hi Jano
It can definitely help. With a kidney stone, drinking lots of water is very important.

Thanks for sharing Lynne. I enjoyed your message!

Hi Grace
1/2 lemon in warm or room temperature water. It isn’t a drug or a cancer treatment protocol but a way to improve the body’s environment and function.

Hi Jaze
Let’s compromise with room temperature water. Cold water shuts down digestion.

Hi Jovie
Warm lemon water is great for digestion and to get things moving.

Hi Raja
Warm lemon water, with a fresh lemon, not lemon juice, can help. It is very important to drink lots of water throughout the day to help move the stone out of the body.

Hi Christeen
No. Bottled lemon juice is boiled during the processing. Boiling will result in a loss of nutrients.

Hi Austin
Warm lemon water on an empty stomach, not lemon juice, can help with the symptoms. Most of the time, asthma is due to an allergy. It is important to find out what you are allergic to and eliminate it.

Hi Tracye
Good question! It doesn’t have to be warm – room temperature would be fine. Cold water shuts down digestion and hot water can reduce the efficacy due to nutrient loss.

Hi Thonia
Trial and error. I would try to apply it on a tiny area that isn’t inflamed and see if it makes a difference before you start applying it all over.

Hi Ashlyn
Green tea has caffeine so it would not be a good choice as a “healing drink”.

Hi Glory
Warm lemon water can change the PH so can help with infection BUT if the infection persists, please see your physician.

Hi Emmanuella
You can add the peel to your drink.

Hi Chandan
Lemons can be acidic to the stomach so, if that is an issue, you can cut down on the amount of lemon you are using. Manuka honey may help neutralize the acidity.

Hi Tony
Warm lemon water can help with kidney stones. We are recommending one cup on an empty stomach. You shouldn’t lose weight unless you are overweight. Please remember that there are no guarantees that it will dissolve kidney stones. It depends on how large and how hard they are and the type of stones.

Hi Sarwar
It changes the PH of the body so can help with dandruff but I suggest adding a good quality probiotic to your daily regime and eliminating sugar.

Hi Alison
We recommend once daily, preferably on an empty stomach in the morning.

Hi Dipak
2 per day is fine unless it irritates your stomach or your teeth.

Hi Remi
Sorry, but we can’t recommend remedies for a specific condition particularly if we know nothing about your history or condition and have never assessed you. If you are interested in a nutritional assessment, please contact us at The Health House

Hi Rahul
Yes. It helps eliminate toxins from the body. Congratulations on quitting smoking. That is the best thing you can do for your health.

Hi Lujain:
Eating a lemon can be very acidic to the stomach and the teeth.

Hi Madhuri
Raw unpasteurized honey is fine unless you are trying to lose weight.

Hi Shibani
The main thing is to drink it on an empty stomach. If later in the day works best for you, go for it!

Hi Montosh
The results vary from person to person. The main thing to understand is why your blood pressure is high? Are there changes in diet, lifestyle, stress, etc that you need to make? Making healthy choices, like the lemon water, can help lower your blood pressure.

Hi Aaron
It can help along with whatever else you are doing for this condition.

Hi Raja
It is fine to add pomegranate as long as it is pure. If it comes from a bottle, then it is heated and pasteurized and may contain sugar and will not have the same effect. Dissolving kidney stones depends on the size and type of stones. It can prevent and reduce the stones and their size.

Hi Dhali
It helps with digestion so can improve gas formation.

Hi Marlene
I recently discovered that I am anemic, would it have a positive or negative effect on values if I drink the lemon water. Ferritin is at 32?

Can I drink warm Lemon water after meal Morning or Night.

Best to drink first thing in morning before breakfast or at bedtime.

Drinking lemon what will not affect your ferritin levels. You will need to eat some animal portion and work on your digestive system.

Wonderful glad to hear you are having some great results and have quit smoking!

Hi Sue
Warm lemon water will help you lose weight but please remember to include a healthy diet, low in sugar and starch, exercise, relaxation techniques, etc It is always more difficult to lose weight when there is a thyroid issue and when on medication. Be patient and kind to yourself. If you need help to make a good start, our nutritionists can help you. Contact The Health House

Hi Anupam
Drinking warm lemon water (1/2 fresh lemon in 1 cup warm or room temperature water) on an empty stomach can help in reducing weight and many more benefits.

Hi Laurel
Warm lemon water on an empty stomach can be very helpful with inflammation. It may take time but you should notice an improvement in your joints. Please be careful not to eat a diet that is high in processed foods, preservatives, sugar, etc which will make the problem worse.

Hi Raja
3mm and 4mm stones are relatively large stones but still can be eliminated by the body if you are drinking enough water to help them pass. Warm lemon water can help prevent kidney stones and may be able to make your stones easier to pass.

Hi Gokul
Drinking warm lemon water will not result in weight loss in a person who does not need to lose weight.

Hi Emy
We are each unique with a different set of issues so nobody can predict how long it will take to feel better or see specific results. In order for you to notice the benefits, you may wish to write a list of your symptoms, rating each from 1-10. Each week, look back at your list and record the changes. You may be surprised by the number of changes that you see.

Hi Aaron
Unless you are allergic to lemons, you should not experience any side effects. Sometimes as we cleanse, we may experience short term fatigue, headache, or other cleansing symptoms. If they are uncomfortable, drink less lemon water or start slowly with just a slice of lemon in warm water.

Hi Usha
Lemons can be very acidic to the teeth and stomach so if you have a family history of ulceration of the esophagus, you may want to avoid acidic liquids. It sounds like you are doing well with the fresh wheat grass juice. You may also want to add ginger.

Hi Sandra
Your thyroid medication should not be affected by having warm lemon water on an empty stomach just don’t have them at the same time – at least 1 hour apart.

Hi Ronk
Lemons, even in lemon water, can be too acidic to the stomach but is not recommended if you have an ulcer.

Hi Alexis
Warm lemon water on an empty stomach is great for your digestive system. Ice cold water makes digestion more difficult. You can also have it with room temperature water.

Hi Joanne
Yes, you can drink it in the afternoon or evening but at least 1-2 hours after eating.

Hi Marie,
No, lemons are not blood thinners.

Hi Meliemu
If it causes stomach discomfort or irritation to your teeth, than it is too much. Enjoy!

Hi Nikhil
The water can be boiled and cooled or just room temperature water can be used.

Hi Jayaraj
1/2 lemon to 1 cup of warm water.

Hi Kikky
You might be allergic to lemons. If so, please do not drink lemon water. You might be able to have warm lime water as long as you do not experience migraine headaches.

Hi Malleshwari
As long as you are not trying to lose weight, there is no problem adding 1 tsp of honey.

Hi Eina
Once a day should be fine. Too much can irritate your stomach or your teeth.

Hi Mincy
Yes, it shouldn’t irritate your gall bladder stones.

Hi David
Lemons and lemon water can be irritating to the stomach. If you have an ulcer due to the H Pylori bacteria, then drinking warm lemon water would not be advisable.

Hi Elizabeth
It sounds good to me!

Hi Nina
Limes have many of the same benefits as Lemons but limes are lower in vitamin C content. Both have benefits but the results probably won’t be the same.

Hi Joyce
As long as you are not trying to lose weight, adding a tsp of honey is not a problem.

I take 1/3 cup of lemon concentrate with cold water and my pills every morning!! Is this recommended ?
Many thanks
George

Hi George
We always recommend that you keep your pharmaceutical medication away from any nutritional or cleansing supplements for maximum effect of each.

Hi Jocelyn
Warm lemon water can help you lose weight but it takes more than warm lemon water to lose 10 pounds. It is important to change the things that put the weight on in the first place and to examine your diet, exercise regime, stress levels, etc. Lemon water can definitely help but it is not a weight loss diet and will work differently for each of us.

Hi Karamjeet
As discussed in our article, lemon water on an empty stomach, daily, can increase your metabolic rate causing you to burn more calories.

Hi Rahul
The only way you can know if it will work for you is to try it – drinking lemon water changes the PH of your body which can help. Also, it is important to know if your hormones are balanced and if any of the food you are eating is contributing to the problem, like caffeine, chocolate, saturated fats, and anything you may be allergic to, etc.

Hi Noneluna
Thanks for sharing. Please let us know how it goes.

Hi Nette
One of the benefits of lemon water is help with your digestion. Cold water shuts down digestion.

Drinking lemon water should not cause a feeling of pressure in your throat. Check it out with your doctor.

Hi Secilie
Warm lemon water on an empty stomach can help reduce belly fat because it improves your digestion and increases your metabolic rate. If you don’t have excess fat other than in your belly, you should not get thinner by drinking lemon water.

I am loving this, there s a lot of information we are learning from. Thanks alot Marlene

its really effective…

Sounds like you have had some good experiences!

What I do is to slice a lemon into a bottle and add water to it. Can this help for weight loss?

Hi Ozy
Lemon water is great to help with weight loss but you will also want to make sure that you improve your diet, cutting out sugars, bread, processed foods, etc.
Losing weight involves making a lot of changes but the lemon water is definitely a great start.

I believe you would get greater benefit by squeezing half of a fresh lemon into the water rather the just the slices.

Hi Marlene. I currently take cider vinegar every morning in warm water. In your opinion do you think lemon juice has more benefit than Cider vinegar.

Hi , I am facing bloating since one month, could you let me know the solution, thanks

Hi Rana
Since the only information you have given is “bloating”, the possibilities are endless but may I suggest that your digestive system may need help; ie, 1. Digestive Enzymes: especially those that contain Hydrochloric Acid and Bile that you would take at the end of the meal; 2. Chewing your food slowly; ie 50 chews per bite; 3. Avoiding foods that you are allergic or intolerant to, particularly dairy but also wheat, corn, sugar; 4. Ensuring that your bowels are moving 2-3 times per day; ie one meal in, one meal out. Warm Lemon Water on an empty stomach in the morning can also be very helpful. Of course, since you have only been experiencing this for one month, you may wish to consult your physician if this continues or worsens.

Hi Carol
Apple Cider Vinegar is great for your digestion. Lemon water may have more benefits than simply digestion due to its high vitamin C content. Try alternating them and see which you prefer.

Hey Marlene,i boil my lemon slices with water then allow it to cool,is it advisable.

I wouldn’t suggest boiling the lemon as you may reduce the Vitamin C content. I would just use warm water instead.

Hi Marlene,
I have been taking lemon water, first thing in the morning, for the last four days. Every time I take the drink, it seems to trigger migraines and headaches. Any advice?

I don’t know what other health issues you may have but if your liver is toxic or if you have gallstones the lemon may be stimulating the liver too much. Try drinking the lemon only 2-3 times a week with a quarter of the lemon instead of half.

About 15 minutes however multi vitamin and fish oil should be taken with food not on an empty stomach.

Hi. I take lemon juice during night before going to bed. Is it good. Thanks.

Will lemon water remove or detox away insulin and or other diabetic oral medication(s) from the body?

Hi Harry
No, warm lemon water will not detox or interfere with medication (unless you are instructed not to have lemon when taking that medication). It will, however, help with the toxic effects of medication on your organs; ie liver and kidneys. My one piece of advice would be to take your medication at least one or two hours after your lemon water or one hour before.

Hi Annet
No problem taking it before bed. I would suggest that you rinse your mouth after drinking it to make sure that lemon’s acidity doesn’t sit on your teeth during the night.

Hi Chandresh
There should be no side effects from drinking warm lemon water on an empty stomach. In addition, for losing weight, it is important to cut right back on sugar and starches, particularly bread, cake, cookies, muffins, etc. A balanced diet that includes lots of colourful vegetables (raw or cooked) with chicken, fish, turkey, fruit, sweet potatoes, healthy oils like olive oil and avocados – preferably three meals a day with no snacks – will help you lose weight. Also movement – even a 15 minute walk every day would also be very helpful. And, of course lots of good quality water – 8-10 glasses daily.

Hi,
Can we combine lemon and honey in warm water and have it on empty stomach in the morning.

I would not suggest adding honey to the lemon water. The sweetness will trigger and insulin response which will not be good if you want to lose weight. The lemon water will help your digestion, liver and pH.

Hi Francis, you can drink lemon water once per day everyday if you like. Yes, it is best to squeeze half of a fresh lemon into 8 ounces of cold, room temperature or hot water. Enjoy!

hi marlene,
I’ve been taking lamon and ginger water every monring and at night and in the first week, I saw dirt on my panty liner and later I’m seeing slimy discharge with light blood stains every time i go to the loo..is this normal and should I continue to drink lemon and ginger water?
What is it doing to my body now.

I have been taking Lemon & Honey warm water in the empty stomach for the past 3 years, do digestive problem, am very active , skin looks good, improves my over all defence mechanism. I never had even a simple cold since started drinking the same.

That’s great to hear! I would consider just have the lemon water without honey. The honey could affect your blood sugar and insulin levels.

Hi Libby, it sounds like the lemon and ginger water is doing some cleansing. I assume you mean this is a vagin*l discharge. The body does use the uterus as a means of elimination. If there is no discomfort I would continue on but reduce to one drink per day. If this is a rectal discharge it could also be a cleansing reaction but it also could be an irritation to the bowel if you have bowel issues such as IBS, Colitis or Crohn’s in which cause I would stop.

Nice article and I’d prescribe you drink a glass of warm lemon water before each dinner on the off chance that you need to shed pounds.

Thanks for sharing!

I am kidney patient can lemon water help

Hi Marlene, someone asked about how to reduce belly fat through lime water intake, you said there are other underlying factors such as hormonal imbalance which could cause belly fat and this imbalance should be corrected then the body will let go of the stored fat from the appropriate from the belly. I want to ask what is the nutritional approach to correcting hormonal inbalance.

Hi David, first we would have to find out what hormones are out of balance. This can be done through a consultation. We can provide hormone testing if we feel that is necessary. Consultation can be done in person or by phone/Skype/WhatsApp depending on where you are located.

I would suggest drinking the lemon water in the first thing in the morning and a couple of hours after dinner. 1/2 a fresh squeezed lemon in 8 ounces of water. I would also include a brisk walk every day.

HI Sailas, lemon water is very good for the kidneys and kidney stones. It will provide Vitamin C need by the kidneys and will help to break down stones.

Hi Marlene is it true that lemon water affects the womb and it doesn’t allow one conceive?

This may be a silly questions but I need help on making the water warm. I read that microwaving it will cause of loss of nutrients. I keep my lemons frozen and would rather not squeeze. I just like to put water and lemons in my juicer.
Any recommendations?

I would boil the kettle to heat up your water.

I have never heard that and I do not believe that would be true, in fact I thing it would be beneficial.

I have never heard that and I do not believe that would be true, in fact I thing it would be beneficial. Lemons are food and contain nutrients such as Vitamin C would be beneficial for the mother and baby.

How do you drink the lemon water for weight loss

You are welcome!

Half a fresh squeezed lemon with cool or warm water 20 minutes before breakfast.

I suffer from achalasia. (My oesophagus does not function normally & gravity allows food & liquids to pass through into my stomach) This has furthermore brought on asma. Will warm lemon juice assist me with my condition .

I bought lemons and used my food processor to juice them so that I could make the process quicker for morning. I store it in an air tight container in the fridge. One website I researched said that to get the juice of half a lemon would be approx 2 tablespoons in 8oz of warm water, would you agree? I want to make sure that I am taking in the right amount.

Does it have to be lemon juice from a fresh lemon? Or could I purchase lemon juice in the container. Please let me know, thank you!

Hi read your blog about Benifit of worm watter this is very helpful , i read 6 block your site really amazing content . I hope you write more content and helps peoples

Thank you

Good Morning Madam, please I want to ask can taken lemon with warm water result me a flat tummy ? Please

I am sure it will help. Many have had success with this.

Hi Carl, you would need about 12 ounces of fresh lemon. But I would suggest only half a fresh squeezed lemon in 8 ounces of water once or twice per day.

If you boil the lemons you will lose some of the beneficial nutrients.

I don’t see why not.

If there has been a history of constipation it may be getting the bowels movement. If not then it may not be appropriate for you.

Lemons are actually very good for the kidneys.

Thank you for sharing!

I have never heard of that happening.

Great! I am glad you enjoy the information!!

Hi I have been reading this article and all the comments. I only started drinking water and lemon this week. I didn’t know what was best way to do it so what I have been doing is slice fresh lemon and adding 3 slices in cold water. I can see huge benefits already within 5 days.
So after reading all these comments I’m thinking now that I would benefit from squeezing half a lemon in a glass of water rather than a huge beaker?
Could someone please advise me if this would be okay to do?
First thing in morning on an empty stomach squeeze half a fresh lemon in a glass of warm water and then the rest of the day sip on my bottle of water with my sliced lemon in?
I want to know the best way to do this to get best results.

Can we add sugar in the lemon water??? If not how does it effects

I’m taking singular for tree pollen allergies in the evening.Will lemon juice cause any cross reactions to the medicine or the allergies?

Please I need to know if lemon water can serve as your water everyday……

Yes, but only one or two cups.

No it should not unless you have an allergy to lemons.

I would suggest you squeeze half a lemon in 8 ounces of water first thing in the morning 1/2 hour before food. then drink plain water for the rest of the day.

No, do not add sugar to the lemon water. Sugar is not good for you and it reduce the benefit of the lemon water plus it will stimulate an insulin response and have a negative effect your blood sugar levels

Hi,
I’m suffering from gastric from 2 month.
Can I drink warm water with lemon.

I am diabetic and 47 years old, i am feeling chest pain or you can say heavy chest, i was told to drink warm lemon juice.. it will easy my chest pain.. does it really helps cleaning heart wains from fat.. please advise how do use that and how much beneficial it is for me..

Great article Marlene thank you! I drink my lemon water every morning before breaki and feel great on it! Great too on your generosity and patience with answering some of the folks comments on here. Thank you ??

I read somewhere that you can put pure lemon juice in a dropper or oral syringe and take 5-10 drops 3-4 times per day for benefits. Do you agree with this finding?

Hi Shadab
Lemons can be acidic to the stomach so if there is any possibility that you have an ulcer, lemon water would not be a good choice. A visit to your doctor may be the best place to begin.

Hi Daniel
Pure lemon juice can be very acidic, particularly to the stomach and to the teeth, which is why we recommend that you dilute it by adding it to water.

Hi Abdulrahman
If you are 47, diabetic, and having chest pain, you need to see a doctor or go to the ER.

Hi Shama
Lemon water is healthy for healthy kidneys. So, it all depends on what is going on with your kidneys; kidney stones, kidney failure, kidney disease?

Hi Mec
If one has a stomach ulcer, they shouldn’t drink lemon water. It would be too acidic.

Hi Laurel
Yes, it has to be a fresh lemon. Lemon juice in a container has been heated and sterilized so many of the nutrients are gone.

Hi Deborah
Yes, the usual dose is 1/2 lemon in 8 oz of water water.

Hi Abe
Achalasia is a swallowing disorder and one of the foods that is on the “to avoid” list is citrus fruit. Lemons are citrus fruit. I wish you well.

Hi…
I am 30 years old and already under weight
And skinny guy.. I always feel lack of energy, loss of appetite and tired…Does hot lemon water help me in any way…

Hi Marlene, first of all. Respect that you keep on responding on all the questions from 1 article for years. To each and everyone. I changed my routine from 4.30 waking up. Taking a glass of lemon juice, warm.

Thanks Hans. I appreciate your message. Best to you!

Hi Sahil
Without knowing your history or food intake or lifestyle, it is very difficult to know why you are underweight and low in energy and appetite. Lemon water will not hurt you and will help with your digestion which could improve your appetite. You will only know if you try it. I suggest having a complete checkup with your doctor to rule out any medical conditions. If there are no abnormalities, it could be very helpful for you to work with a practitioner who can guide you as to changes that you can make. You can reach us at healthhouse@healthhouse.ca for a consultation with one of our practitioners in person or online.

Hi Vanessa
It sounds like you are seeing positive changes so it is definitely a great idea to keep going. The only way to know how your body will respond is by trial and error. Lemon or Lime? Whichever works best for you! Thanks for sharing.

When using lemon you can squeeze the fresh juice from it and poor the juice into a cup and add warm water you can boil the water to become warm by letting the water cool down to 96 degrees however it can help you lose five pounds in a month or more in two months for both sex however it help you to clean out your liver from yucky color to it good shade of color ? but you can not add honey to it of it won’t help you lose weight just eat veggies in the morning from 10:00 am to 11 for a snack and to go for a walk for an hour a day or twice a day to help you get your body back in to shape do 20 minutes of sit up and push up daily to help you how ever eat meat twice lunch and dinner and breakfast in the morning like ceral and toast and bananas and fruit

Goodday Marlene
I would like to know if drinking 100% lemon juice bottle… Will produce same results as the squeezed lemon fruit..

I got through about half of the comments so if I am repeating something, I apologize. Lemon water is also great for blocking the formation of kidney stones. I grew up in southern California where we had an abundance of fresh lemons. When I got stationed in North Carolina lemons weren’t as readily available and so I started getting kidney stones. You can take a prescription of Potassium citrate or just use the real thing. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/5-things-can-help-take-pass-kidney-stones-2018030813363

Hi Marlene
Does drinking 2 cups of black decaf coffee 1hr after drinking lemon water have any negative effects on the lemon water benefits? Thanks

It is not good to drink coffee after lemon water. Coffee is very acidic and will undue the benefits of the lemon water

Thank you for your input! Fresh lemons are great for kidney stones.

I would suggest half a fresh lemon with 8 ounces of water.

I have recently begun to take warm lemon ? in the mornings after I wake up and I have started to see changes. Thank you for this article.

Hi Mommyoftwo
Thanks for sharing your positive experience with drinking Lemon Water and for your suggestions. For many of us, having protein in the morning is important because lemon juice cereal toast and fruit without protein can spike your blood sugar.

Hi Lulu
We are happy to hear that this has helped you.

When we should drink it before doing exercise or after doing exercise?
And how much amount of honey and lemon juice we should add in hot water

Does it have to be fresh squeezed? Can you use lemon juice from a bottle? Also, will it help or hurt if I am intermittent fasting?

Hi Paul
Juice from a bottle has much fewer nutrients because the bottle has to be sterilized. The benefits will not be the same. If you are doing intermittent fasting, you need to wait the 12-16 hours before you have your Lemon Water.

Hi Jahnvi
1/2 a lemon to 8 oz of water. You can drink it before or after exercise, whichever feels better to you. Honey is still seen as sugar to the body so as little honey as you need to make it taste the way you like it. If you are trying to lose weight, it is best not to add any sweetener.

Please ma am just 17years old do you think,I can take lemon juice to burn my Belly fat, and some people also said that lemon damages the womb,and so that’s why am scared of taking it,so please ma I need your advice, please ma here is my number 07017318738.i will be waiting for your reply.

Does Lemon/Lime flavored water have the same effect? as I’ve been drinking the bottled flavored water and seeing a difference I am defiantly going to the toilet more then I was feel less hungry and less bloated… but would using fresh lemons have a better effect?

Hi Jade
Lemons have more Vitamin C than Limes but both have many nutrients. Bottled waters and juices need to be sterilized so lose most of their nutrients during that process. To get the full benefits of lemon or lime water, squeeze 1/2 of a fresh lemon or lime into 8 oz water. Fresh lemons are preferable – organic ones even better.

Hi Patience
The only down side of drinking lemon water, unless you are allergic to lemons, is that it can irritate your stomach or the enamel on your teeth. By rinsing your mouth with water, after drinking the lemon water, you will eliminate the acid on your teeth. If you have no negative symptoms or allergic reactions, enjoy your lemon water. The best way to burn your belly fat is to eliminate sugar from your diet and drinking the lemon water.

Are those benefits will be the same if instead of warm water I use not so cold water. This is my water for the whole day, i just refill it and drink.

Yes, you can use whatever temperature of water you prefer.

Good day ma
Please is it advisable for someone on drugs to be drinking lemon juice

Lemon juice is a food so it won’t hurt you.

lemon juice is a great healthy choice
I can’t start my day whithout it

Thanks for sharing!

I really love this

Drinking 2 glasses of hot water in the morning on an empty stomach is said to prevent a number of health issues like headaches, constipation, indigestion, kidney stones, hypertension, blood sugar etc. However, consuming 6 – 8 glasses of warm water daily are sufficient enough to keep the body, hair, and skin hydrated and get the overall health benefits.

Hi Ankita, I always recommend drinking half you body weight in water. Example: if you weight 150 divide by 2 is 75, divided by 8 equals 9 eight ounce glasses of water per day and if exercising you can add more.

I have been taking lemon warm water every day and I notice my lips is getting darker..
Does lemon water damage the womb.
Lastly between local lemon and foreign lemon which one is more harmful..
Thanks

Not sure why your lips are getting darker other than you may be absorbing more nutrients. This is food so certainly should not damage any part of the body. Best to buy organic lemons.

Hi Cammy, good points. Do not add sugar, this will defeat the purpose and yes half a lemon is sufficient.

Thank you very much for your beneficial article and answers.
I would like to ask if lemon juice beneficial for gout as it is alklizing agent? And how is The method? Many thanks.dr samir abdel-rheem

Experience report on herpes treatment
I have been diagnosed with genital herpes for 2 years and am looking for a cure. I read a testimony on this platform from a woman who was cured of diabetes with Doctor Ahmed Usman Herbal Medicine, including the doctor’s official email address. I contacted the doctor through his email, after much discussion and some questions he prepared herbal medicine and asked for my address. 3 days later, I received the herbal medicine and with his prescription, I drank the herbal medicine for 21 days. After I finished herbal medicine, I went for a test and my IgG result was confirmed negative with no virus found in my blood. Contact Doctor Ahmed and let yourself be cured. email him at; drahmedusman5104 @ gmail. com or send him a WhatsApp SMS +14436204203. He has herbal remedies for diabetes, hepatitis

Congratulations on your results and sharing this information.

Yes, lemon would be helpful for gout at is supports the kidneys and is alkalizing.

Ive been drinking this every morning when i wake up for more than a year. I have noticed that my yeast infection was gone. Ive been drinking also green tea every 6pm

Hi my name is Odion am 37 years old my knee is paining me when folding it pls can I drink lemon juice morning and night for it

Certainly, the lemon water will help to get the acid waste out. Start with one drink in the morning for a couple of weeks and if needed add a second at night time.
