BENEFITS OF LEMON WATER Aid Digestion Lemons can also relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, bloating, gas and cramping. Drinking lemon water regularly will aid in the cleansing of the bowels, which helps eliminate constipation and diarrhea. A teaspoon of lemon juice in half a glass of water helps relieve heartburn. The juice of three to four lemons can also help ease the pain and decrease the flow of excessive menstruation, according to Ann Heustad in her article, "The Amazing Health Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water." It is best to mix the lemon juice in cool or warm water. Avoid extreme temperatures of water, "as they damage gastric stomach lining," Dr. McKeith suggests. Stimulate the Liver According to Kloss, lemon water dissolves uric acid and other poisons in the liver, liquefies bile and helps relieve malaria cases. Lemons are high in potassium and are extremely effective in treating biliousness, a symptom of liver disorder, which causes constipation, headaches, vomiting of bile and loss of appetite. People with liver complaints should drink the juice of one lemon in warm water one hour before breakfast each morning, according to Kloss.
