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.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
