If you are taking medications—especially for blood pressure, diuretics, or antacids—speak with your doctor before adding this drink to your routine.

Potential Benefits When Used Properly
When consumed correctly and in moderation, baking soda with lemon water may offer the following:

Relief from acid reflux or heartburn
Improved digestion and a sense of gastric cleansing
Natural support in balancing body pH
Gentle detoxifying effects when taken on an empty stomach
