Lemon is well known for its medicinal power and is used in many different ways. Lemons are used to make lemonade by mixing lemon juice and water. Lemon juice, especially, has several health benefits associated with it. Various health benefits of lemon juice are explained below.

1. Indigestion and Constipation

Lemon juice helps to cure problems related to indigestion and constipation. Add a few drops of lemon on your dish (take care, as lemon does not go well with milk), and it will aid in digestion. Lemon acts as a blood purifier and a cleansing agent, so a good drink after lunch or dinner is fresh lemon soda, which is also called fresh lime soda in many places. The recipe is lemon juice, cold water, soda, salts (common salt or rock salt) and sugar/honey for sweetness. You can also add some mint leaves or crushed fennel seeds for added flavor. Drinking this whenever you have a heavy lunch or dinner is helpful to relieve the feeling of belatedness.
