It’s Good For You, But Could You Drink It ?

August 19, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 9 Comments

It has so much of the “Good Stuff” in it that it’s recommended we drink it every morning. But seriously? I don’t think I can stand the smell. What about you?

Could you drink lemon juice every morning? I like hot lemon water where it contains a small squeeze of lemon but these sort of quantities? No Way!

I was also told that lemon juice strips the teeth enamel and especially the sensitive toothpaste off my teeth. So after having lemon water I get sensitive teeth.

But lemon juice is not just a cleanser for your body but studies indicate that it helps with so much more including: Weight Loss,  inflammation, alcohol cravings, fibromyalgia, nail care and can even help prevent food poisoning.

Is lemon juice really a natural wonder tonic? Have you used it as a DIY treatment for an ailment? Did it help? Share here.

    I’m using lemon juice to help break up kidney stones. Fingers cross it helps. WORST PAIN EVER!

    It’s a shot. Just knock it back & swallow in one gulp. No sitting on the teeth, no hanging out in the mouth – just one & done. It’s not so hard, really.

    I’ve never had that much at once, but I would drink it quickly and then rinse my teeth off afterwards!

    I grew up with a lemon tree in our front yard and an elderly neighbor would come and get the lemon leaves and make a tea every day. I grew up eating lemons all the time. I swear its why I was never fat or hardly ever sick as a kid because we had to fend for ourselves often and we ate junk with a capital J.

    I’ve used it before kidney stones and it really helped with those. I make sure I keep some in the refrigerator I also shared that info with a male friend and he started drinking some everyday because he had previously ended up at the ER once a month with kidney stone pain. He told me that now when he starts feeling twinges from one starting he starts drinking lemon juice. I just didn’t realize it is supposed to help with the other things you listed.

    You could use a straw and direct it to the back of your mouth to prevent the acid from touching your teeth.

    Yes, I could definitely do this. I have Crohns and after a flare of vomiting, I crave lemon slices with salt on them and I drink pickle juice from the jar with a straw. It’s got something to do with getting the stomach acids replenished.

The New Menopause: Your Ultimate Guide to Navigating Hormonal Change with Confidence and Power

As someone who’s been navigating the tumultuous waters of perimenopause, I can honestly say that finding a resource like The New Menopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver has been nothing short of a lifeline. It’s often said that knowledge is power, and this book does exactly that—empowering women to take charge of their health during a time when our bodies are changing in ways that can feel overwhelming and frustrating.

In my own experience with perimenopause, I’ve struggled with symptoms like irregular sleep patterns, mood swings, and weight gain that seemed to come out of nowhere. The feeling of loss of control over my body was not only physical but emotional. Dr. Haver’s approach to menopause is refreshingly holistic—she not only presents scientific facts but also provides real-life, relatable advice to help women thrive through this stage of life, not just survive.

The book covers everything from physical symptoms, like changes in skin and sleep patterns, to neurological, psychological, and even sexual health concerns. Dr. Haver also does a fantastic job of addressing the long-term health risks that come with the drop in estrogen levels, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, and heart disease. For women like myself who want to be proactive, her science-backed toolkit on what steps to take is both comprehensive and actionable.

One of the most helpful sections for me was about advocating for myself during doctor visits. I’ve often felt like my concerns were brushed aside or minimized, and Dr. Haver empowers readers with practical questions to ask their doctors and the tools to secure comprehensive care—something I desperately needed.

In addition to all the invaluable health insights, the book also touches on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), explaining the latest research and balancing both the benefits and potential side effects, which gave me the confidence to make informed decisions about my own treatment options.

Essential Oils for Menopause Relief:

For those of us trying to manage symptoms naturally, essential oils can be an incredible tool. In addition to Dr. Haver’s advice, I’ve found that certain essential oils have helped me feel more balanced during perimenopause:

  1. Clary Sage – Known for its calming effects, it helps with mood swings and hot flashes.

  2. Peppermint – Excellent for headaches and nausea, common issues during hormonal fluctuations.

  3. Lavender – Great for sleep support, especially if your sleep is disrupted due to night sweats or anxiety.

  4. Geranium – Supports hormonal balance and can alleviate feelings of irritability.

  5. Frankincense – Can help with anxiety and stress, grounding your mind and body.

  6. Ylang Ylang – A sweet floral oil that can boost mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety.

  7. Rose – Known for supporting emotional well-being and can help with feelings of sadness or low self-esteem.

I use a few drops of these oils in a diffuser before bed, or dilute them with a carrier oil for a soothing massage, especially on areas like my neck and shoulders when I feel tension or discomfort.

The New Menopause is not just a guide—it’s a celebration of empowerment, helping women reclaim their vitality during a period of change. Dr. Haver provides a comprehensive blueprint for not only surviving menopause but thriving through it, arming us with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take control of our health at this pivotal stage in our lives. This book is an essential read for any woman going through this transition, and it’s sure to become a trusted companion in your menopause journey.

If you’re feeling lost or unsure, I highly recommend picking up The New Menopause. It’s time to embrace this phase of life with purpose, power, and—most importantly—self-care.

 

Updated to add, I have just purchased this Menopause blend   of hormone balance drops and will update with my review shortly.
