Indigestion and Heartburn? Lemon to the Rescue with This Natural Remedy
October 14, 2014
Heartburn and acid reflux are common conditions caused by stomach acid rising into the esophagus, leading to discomfort. A simple, natural remedy for relief is lemon, which becomes alkaline in the body and helps neutralize stomach acid. Rich in nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and limonene, lemons provide additional health benefits. To alleviate symptoms, mix the juice of half a lemon in a 10-ounce glass of water and drink. If needed, continue drinking more lemon water or suck on a lemon slice to experience relief as your body’s pH balances.
