 Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice:
39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses
of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio

Perhaps it is surprising to hear apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice referred to as a
“powerhouse trio.”

After all, they can seem rather ordinary. Boring even. Most of us have them as pantry and refrigerator
staples but give them very little thought. We pay more attention to new and exciting supplements,
remedies, and the latest exotic superfruit or herb.

However, the truth is that these three inexpensive ingredients are some of the best and most versatile
gifts nature has given us!

People in times past valued the members of this trio a lot more than we do now and found endless uses
for them. Though much of this historic use was later dismissed as old wives’ tales, modern research is
revealing that there may be far more fact than fiction involved.

Below you’ll find some interesting and useful info about apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and lemon
juice, followed by the 39 important ways these humble superheroes can benefit you:

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 1
 Apple Cider Vinegar:
Going Strong for Thousands of Years
What Is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Vinegar was most likely first made by accident, perhaps from a jug of wine that was left too long and
turned sour. In fact, the name “vinegar” comes from the French vin aigre, meaning “sour wine.”

Basically, vinegar is produced when a certain type of bacteria, acetobacter, reacts with oxygen in a
fermented liquid like wine or beer. This process creates acetic acid, which is what vinegar is made of.

In this case, apple cider vinegar comes from fermented apple cider. It’s a two-step process of yeast
digesting the sugars found in apples and converting them to alcohol and the acetobacter converting the
alcohol into acetic acid.1

The final product no longer has alcohol but does have the distinct sour taste of vinegar.

History & Folklore of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has a long and colorful history of use. It may have been “discovered” as early as 5000
BC, although there’s no real way to verify this.

At first, it seems to have been used mainly as a culinary ingredient, but its medicinal value began to be
recognized somewhere around 3000-2000 BC.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 2
 It really came into its own around 400 BC when Hippocrates (often called the father of modern medicine)
started prescribing vinegar for illnesses and as a preventative measure. He’s also credited with using it to
clean and treat wounds.

Another famous proponent of apple cider vinegar was the Egyptian ruler Cleopatra (c. 50 BC) who drank
it for good digestion and skin health.

Soldiers of several different civilizations, including Greek and Roman soldiers as well Japanese samurais,
drank apple cider vinegar as a tonic for strength, durability, and good digestion. They also carried it to
clean wounds on the battlefield.1

To this day, apple cider vinegar firmly remains a staple of what could be called folk medicine and is used
as a natural tonic for many everyday ailments.

Choosing the Right Type

All apple cider vinegar is not the same, and there are a few things to look for when buying it to make sure
you’ll actually be getting all its benefits.

Organic: Buying organic is always a good choice when possible but especially so if apples are
involved. They are consistently on the “Dirty Dozen” list that keeps track of produce with
the highest amount of pesticide residue and are frequently treated with a chemical called
diphenylamine after harvest.2

Raw and unfiltered: Apple cider vinegar can be processed to remove the “mother,” a sediment
made of enzymes, beneficial bacteria, and protein that forms as a result of the fermentation
process. Raw and unfiltered vinegar keeps the mother along with its beneficial properties and
is thought to have more powerful health benefits.

 Baking Soda: Not Just an Ingredient for Baking
What Is Baking Soda?

Due to its name, baking soda is most often associated with baking, something that was intentionally
done in the 1800s when it was marketed as an essential baking product.

The technical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, but it’s also known as bicarbonate of soda,
sodium hydrogen carbonate, and sodium acid carbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is an odorless white
powder with an alkaline pH.3

Baking soda is made from something called soda ash, a substance refined from the naturally occurring
minerals nahcolite and trona. It can also be made through a chemical process.

Trona used for the production of baking soda comes mainly from a huge deposit in the Green River Basin
of Wyoming. It’s estimated that there’s enough trona there to supply the whole world with baking soda
for thousands of years, so there’s no danger of depletion.

History of Baking Soda

The baking soda we’re familiar with doesn’t enter the picture until the 18th century, but various forms of
it have been used for at least a few thousand years.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 4
 Perhaps the biggest example of this is the ancient Egyptian use of natron, a substance made of
sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and other elements. They used it for teeth cleaning, painting
hieroglyphics, treating wounds, and mummification (due to its antimicrobial nature).4

Much later, baking soda would become a household staple when Dr. Austin Church and John Dwight
teamed up in 1846 to produce and market it as a leavening agent for all kinds of baked goods.

These two men were the brothers-in-law who founded the Arm & Hammer company (still the most
popular brand of baking soda today).

Baking Soda vs. Baking Powder

It’s easy to confuse baking soda and baking powder because they look very similar and are used for a
similar purpose. The biggest difference is that baking soda has just one ingredient: sodium bicarbonate.

In order to make baked goods rise, baking soda has to be combined with an acid like buttermilk or lemon
juice. Baking powder was created with a base of baking soda and the addition of an acid to make a
complete leavening agent. It also usually has a buffer like cornstarch.

For health and household purposes, you’ll want to stick with pure baking soda to get the job done.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 5
 Lemon Juice: The Sweetness Behind a Sour Fruit
Origin and History of Lemons

It’s no mystery where lemon juice comes from, but the history of the sour, yellow fruit that produces the
juice is fascinating.

Citrus trees are some of the oldest fruiting trees. Some scientists put their origin at nearly 8 million years
ago. They seem to have originated in the foothills of the Himalayas, and lemon itself is a hybrid of other
citrus fruits (likely citron, sour orange, and pomelo).5

Lemon as a cultivated fruit didn’t start spreading widely until around 1000 AD. It became popular in the
Mediterranean region and made its way to the Middle East and China.

At first, most cultures viewed lemon trees as an ornamental plant and a novelty. Eventually, they began
to use the fruit for culinary purposes and discovered its fresh flavor and health benefits.

Christopher Columbus is credited with bringing lemon seeds to the Americas, specifically Hispaniola,
where the trees would eventually be grown on a large scale in California and Florida.

What’s in a Lemon?

Besides its flavor, lemons are probably most well known for their vitamin C content. It was this vitamin
(also known as ascorbic acid) that was famously used in the 1700s to cure scurvy.

Scurvy is a nasty disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. It involves symptoms like tooth decay, detached
gums, hemorrhaging, and ulcerations. Fortunately for the British Royal Navy, James Lind discovered that
fresh lemons and oranges could prevent and treat this sickness that was plaguing sailors.6

Lemon juice also contains potassium, magnesium, folate, vitamin B6, and other trace nutrients.

 Top Benefits and Uses of Apple Cider Vinegar
Helps Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

The ability of apple cider vinegar to help lower and

regulate blood sugar levels is one of its most studied
benefits. Lowering high blood sugar levels is especially
important for those with diabetes but is also good for
overall health in general.

A study published by the American Diabetes Association

evaluated whether taking apple cider vinegar before a
high carb meal would benefit the blood glucose levels of
participants with insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance,
or type 2 diabetes.

It was found that the apple cider vinegar significantly

reduced blood glucose levels compared to the
placebo.7 Several other human and animal studies have
confirmed these results.8

How to: Of course, apple cider vinegar isn’t meant to replace any medication, but the best way
to use it for blood sugar is to dilute 1-2 tablespoons in water and drink before a meal.

Weight Loss Aid

One of the more surprising confirmed benefits of apple cider vinegar is for weight loss. It won’t help the
number on the scale go down all on its own but can be a much-needed aid on your weight loss journey.

Specifically, vinegar has been shown to promote a sense of fullness, which in turn will cause you to eat
less and cut down on your overall calorie intake.9

Interestingly, at least one study has shown that consuming 15-30 mL (about 1-2 tablespoons) of vinegar
a day can lead to a modest weight loss with no other lifestyle or diet changes. Not bad at all for a “folk
remedy”! 10

How to: Take 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar a day (diluted in water) accompanied by healthy diet
and lifestyle changes.

 May Lower Cholesterol

High levels of bad LDL cholesterol put you at higher risk of heart disease, which is one of the leading
causes of death worldwide.

Animal studies indicate that apple cider vinegar could help bring cholesterol to a healthy level. Research
has shown a decrease in LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and an increase in HDL (good) cholesterol levels
after supplementation with vinegar.11 12

Human studies are still lacking, but a daily dose of vinegar certainly won’t hurt your heart and could help.

How to: Incorporate 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into your daily diet.

Promotes Skin Health

Apple cider vinegar has become a popular DIY skincare

ingredient and with good reason. It is naturally antibacterial,
partly from the acetic acid it contains, and can inhibit
bacteria that cause acne and other skin issues.13 14

Vinegar is also naturally acidic, which can help to balance the

pH of your skin. Skin has a natural pH that averages around
4.7. This pH level is important for the beneficial microflora
on your skin and for maintaining a healthy skin barrier and
moisture level.

Soaps, cosmetics, and even alkaline water can cause the pH to rise with negative effects. Using apple
cider vinegar as a toner helps bring skin pH back down.15

How to: Vinegar can irritate your skin if applied straight, so dilute it in water or a hydrosol to
make a toner at a ratio of 1 part vinegar to 2-4 parts water/hydrosol.

Boosts Gut Health & Digestion

Though not technically considered a probiotic, raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar is a prebiotic,
something that feeds the good bacteria in your gut and intestines.16

It also contains enzymes and good bacteria that support gut health and may help your body digest better.
The traditional way to use apple cider vinegar for digestion is taking it before a meal, but you can also
incorporate it into salads and other foods for a digestive boost.

How to: Take 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of vinegar before a meal (diluted) or use it to make
salad dressing, etc.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 8
 Foot Soak

Adding apple cider vinegar to foot bath can help to fight fungus that causes toenail discoloration, athlete’s
foot, and more. It has natural antifungal properties and has specifically shown action against Candida
albicans (responsible for yeast infections).13

An added benefit is that the vinegar will also help freshen your feet and get rid of any unpleasant odor
they may have!

How to: Add 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a warm footbath. You can also add other
ingredients like Epsom salts and essential oils like lavender, tea tree, or peppermint.

Rinse for Shiny Hair

An apple cider vinegar hair rinse can make your

hair shinier and bring some life to dull hair. If
you’re a little wary of walking around smelling like
vinegar, don’t worry. The scent usually dissipates
quickly after your hair is dry.

For best results, use the vinegar rinse consistently

1-2 times per week.

How to: Dilute 2 tablespoons of vinegar with 1-2 cups of water, depending on how strong you
want the rinse to be. Shampoo your hair as normal before pouring the vinegar rinse over your
head. Work it into your scalp and the ends of your hair. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing,
preferably with cool water.

Skin-Toning Bath

Many people opt to get the benefits of apple cider vinegar for skin by using it as a toner or wash on
their face. You can give all of your skin a boost by adding it to a bath to balance your skin’s pH and gently
cleanse it.

The antimicrobial properties of vinegar will be at work as you soak to support the natural protective
barrier and health of your skin.

How to: Add 1-2 cups of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to a normal sized bathtub. Fill with
warm or cool water, depending on your preference. You can also add ingredients like bentonite
clay, Dead Sea salt, or Epsom salt to help your body and skin detox while you bathe.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 9
 Sore Throat Gargle

Gargling with apple cider vinegar is an old trick to soothe a sore throat. The acidity and antibacterial
properties of it are likely responsible for this effect, although the acid level of undiluted vinegar can burn
your throat instead of helping.

How to: Dilute a teaspoon or two of vinegar in warm water and use it as a throat gargle. You can
also try making a mixture of vinegar, honey, and warm water and drink it as needed.

Household Cleaner

Apple cider vinegar is a great choice for an

all-natural household cleaner because it has
antibacterial properties and can cut through
sticky messes.

There are lots of options for using it in your

home: dilute it to make a simple all-purpose
cleaner, add it to dish water for enhanced
cleaning, make a room spray for odors and
bacteria in the air, or use it to clean dentures.

How to: For a simple household cleaner, mix 1 cup of apple cider vinegar with 2 cups of water.

Fruit and Veggie Wash

Pesticide residue on fruits and vegetables is a real

problem. If you can’t buy all organic food, washing
your produce before eating it can cut down on the
chemicals present on the surface.

Using apple cider vinegar can help with getting rid

of pesticide residue and may also help neutralize
harmful bacteria, like Salmonella, that can be
present on fresh produce.17

How to: Add a few teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to water used for washing fruits and veggies.
Keep in mind this won’t help with pesticides beneath the skin of your produce.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 10
 Top Benefits and Uses of Baking Soda
Decreases Bacteria and Plaque for Better Oral Health

It’s not uncommon to find baking soda as an

ingredient in toothpaste and other oral hygiene
products because of its dental benefits.

Baking soda has an abrasive nature that helps

to clean the surface of your teeth and has
demonstrated antibacterial activity against
specific pathogens that cause oral problems. It
also reduces plaque and can prevent biofilm (a
cause of plaque) from forming.18 19

Another study found that a mouthwash with

baking soda increased salivary pH, which can help
inhibit bacterial growth.20

This simple pantry ingredient might make your

next dentist visit much more pleasant!

How to: Use a baking soda toothpaste regularly to clean your teeth and fight plaque and
bacteria. Or make your own mouthwash by dissolving ½ teaspoon of baking soda in a small
glass of warm water and swishing for 30 seconds.

Whitens Teeth

Teeth naturally accumulate stains and start to yellow as you age. A second reason to use baking soda for
your teeth is to remove those stains and brighten your enamel.

Multiple studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of baking soda for safely and naturally whitening
teeth and getting rid of stains. A few have also found sodium bicarbonate to be more effective than
commercial whitening toothpastes.21-23

It might be a good idea to skip the whitening strips and try baking soda instead.

How to: A few times a week, dip your toothbrush in baking soda before adding your regular
toothpaste and brushing as normal.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 11
 Soothes Mouth Ulcers and Sores

The technical term for those small, painful ulcers

you get in your mouth is canker sores. They aren’t
contagious but can take a while to go away and are
easily irritated.

If you have a sore that won’t go away and keeps

hurting, it’s most likely due to acids and enzymes
present in your mouth (or from eating too many
spicy and acidic foods). Applying baking soda to
a canker sore neutralizes the acid and allows it to
heal more quickly.24

How to: Apply a small dab of baking soda directly to the ulcer, preferably at night when food
and drink won’t wash it away. It will sting at first before getting better. You can also make a
baking soda mouthwash and swish it a few times a day.

Supports Kidney Health

A little-known benefit of baking soda is its potential

to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease.
This disease involves the slow shutdown of the
kidneys, which normally help remove waste and
toxins from your body.

A study done in 2009 found that supplementation

with sodium bicarbonate made participants with
kidney disease less likely to suffer rapid disease
progression without any major side effects.25

Though more research needs to be done on the

effectiveness of baking soda for this purpose,
it’s definitely an unlooked-for use of a simple
household ingredient.

How to: Taking 1 teaspoon of baking soda a day (dissolved in water) is a normal, safe dosage,
but talk to your doctor first if you’re dealing with kidney disease.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 12
 Improves Athletic and Exercise Performance

Baking soda for athletics and exercise? It’s true. Sodium bicarbonate has a been popular, though little
known, supplement for athletes for years.

Studies have shown that baking soda can delay fatigue and help you exercise or train at your peak for
longer. The reason for this is thought to be because of its alkaline pH that helps to neutralize lactic acid
that builds up during exercise, especially high intensity training.26-28

The buffering effect of baking soda may also help your muscles recover better after exercise.

How to: The studies on baking soda and exercise recommend taking 300 mg per kilogram of
body weight and diluting it in a liter of water. Drink the solution 1-3 hours before exercising to
get the greatest effect.

Helps Occasional Heartburn

The alkaline nature of baking soda is useful in many

instances, including easing heartburn. Heartburn,
also called acid reflux, happens when stomach acid
rises back up the esophagus, causing a burning
sensation.

Antacids are a common over-the-counter treatment

for occasional heartburn that comes from eating
acidic or spicy foods. Baking soda works in a similar
way but doesn’t interfere with drug absorption like
antacids can.29

How to: Dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda fully in a glass of cold water. Drink slowly. Use
this remedy occasionally. This remedy is not meant for chronic heartburn.

Natural Deodorizer

Whether you need to deodorize your house or yourself, baking soda can do the trick. It’s a real deodorizer,
meaning it eliminates odors rather than masking them like many air fresheners do.30

How to: There are lots of options for using baking soda as a deodorizer. You can make a DIY
deodorant with it or sprinkle some in your shoes to neutralize foot odor. Open a box of baking
soda and place it in your fridge or closet to freshen the space. Sprinkle a layer at the bottom
of your garbage can to help with trash odors.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 13
 Fruit and Veggie Wash

Pesticide residue is a serious concern on commercially grown produce and much of it is found on the skin
of fruits and vegetables. Peeling them is an effective way to get rid of surface residue but also takes away
fiber and nutrients.

If you’re concerned about pesticides on your food, washing them in a baking soda and water solution
can help dramatically. One study found that baking soda was more effective than both water alone and
Clorox bleach at getting rid of pesticides on apples.31

It was able to remove almost all the residue after 12-15 minutes of soaking and is much better for you
than washing your produce in bleach!

How to: Dissolve about a teaspoon of baking soda in a sink full of water. Soak your fruits and
veggies in it before rinsing them (scrub for extra cleaning). This is effective but will not get rid of
any pesticides that have penetrated below the skin.

Soothe Troubled Skin

Baking soda is an old remedy for itchy skin and

sunburn. Just adding it to a warm (not hot) bath
can calm troubled skin, especially when combined
with another skin soother like oatmeal.

Sodium bicarbonate also has antifungal properties

and has shown action against specific fungi that
can cause nail and skin infections. Using it in a foot
bath or a full bath can be helpful if you’re dealing
with fungal issues.32

How to: For a full bath, add 1-2 cups of baking soda to warm or cool water. For a foot bath, mix
about a tablespoon of baking soda with water in a small bucket or basin.

Paste for Bug Bites and Stings

If you love spending time outdoors, bug bites and stings are usually inevitable. Making a paste with
baking soda is another old remedy for relieving the itch or sting naturally.

How to: Mix enough water with one teaspoon of baking soda to form a thick paste. Apply the
paste to your bite or sting, covering with a bandage if necessary. Reapply as needed.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 14
 Hair Wash

The cleansing nature of baking soda makes an

exceptionally good (and all-natural) hair wash.
It makes a clarifying wash or rinse that will help
remove dirt and buildup from other hair products.

As a bonus, you can use a baking soda paste to

clean your brushes and combs to keep any residue
that gets on them from going back onto your hair.

How to: Make a hair “wash” by dissolving a teaspoon of baking soda in 1-2 cups of water. Pour
it over your head and massage into your scalp and hair before rinsing well. You can also simply
add ¼-½ teaspoon baking soda to your shampoo when washing your hair. Don’t use baking soda
every time you shower, since it can irritate your scalp if used constantly.

Multi-Purpose Household Cleaner and Scrubber

Baking soda really shines when it comes to

cleaning. It has a naturally abrasive nature that
scrubs and cuts through grease without damaging
any surfaces. You can use it with equal success in
the kitchen, bathroom, and even on your laundry.

How to: Make a paste with baking soda

and rub it onto any surface that needs
cleaned. Let it sit 15-20 minutes before
wiping it off with a damp rag.

To clean tough messes off your pots and

pans, let them soak in a baking soda
solution for 15-20 minutes and then scrub
them clean. Use a baking soda paste to
polish silverware and get tea or coffee
stains out of cups and mugs.

For laundry, add ½ cup baking soda in

with your normal detergent to clean and
whiten clothes.

 Top Benefits and Uses of Lemon Juice
Boosts Your Immunity

Besides preventing scurvy, vitamin C is critical for the overall health of your immune system.

Vitamin C strengthens your immune system and can make you more resistant to infectious diseases. It
can also help shorten the duration of certain sicknesses, including the common cold. This is one of the
reasons vitamin C is frequently recommended when you get sick.33

There are other superfruits with a higher content of vitamin C than lemons, but they are still one of the
most affordable and available ways to boost your vitamin intake and immune system.

How to: A cup of lemon juice contains more than the recommended daily value of vitamin
C. Drinking a cup or two of homemade lemonade or lemon water daily will boost your intake
nicely.

Helps Prevent Kidney Stones

Lemon juice is a secret weapon for preventing

kidney stone formation. Kidney stones form
when waste products crystallize rather than
getting flushed out of your system. They cause
symptoms like back pain, nausea, and vomiting.

When taken regularly, the citric acid in lemon

juice increases urine volume and raises urine pH,
which are both factors that can prevent kidney
stones from forming.34

One long-term study completed over a 4-year period evaluated the effects of lemonade on participants
who frequently got kidney stones. The results showed that the lemonade therapy dropped the average
kidney stones per year from 1 all the way down to 0.13.35

Another study indicated that lemon juice may also help with the symptoms of already formed kidney
stones.36

How to: From the studies done so far, ½ cup of lemon juice a day may help prevent kidney
stone formation. Drink it mixed with water to make the acid less of a problem for your teeth.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 16
 Boosts Iron Absorption

Iron is an important nutrient found in the red blood cells in your body. Iron deficiency (anemia) leads
to energy loss and other symptoms. Vegans, vegetarians, pregnant women, and women with heavy
menstrual cycles are all at higher risk for low iron levels.

Lemons aren’t high in iron themselves, but they can boost the absorption of iron from other foods due
to their vitamin C and citric acid content.37, 38

How to: Add a squeeze of lemon juice to meat, fish, and legume dishes to help your body
better absorb their iron content.

Anti-Aging Properties + Boosts Heart Health

There are many diseases associated with

aging. As we age, our bodies continue to
undergo oxidative stress, something that
has been linked to things like cancer and
other chronic diseases.

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that

can prevent and protect against oxidative
damage to tissues. Getting enough of it
can decrease your chance of getting an
age-related disease.39

Lemon juice is a great source of both

vitamin C and antioxidants and has
especially shown an ability to decrease
your risk factors for heart disease. Specific
plant compounds found in citrus, along
with their fiber content, have shown
heart-protective properties.40, 41

And lemon juice keeps getting better

because another compound found in it,
hesperidin, has shown an ability to lower
cholesterol.42

How to: Incorporate lemon juice into your daily diet by squeezing it fresh to make lemon
water or lemonade. Keep the pulp in it to get the added benefit of fiber.

 Keeps Your Skin Healthy-Looking

Aging isn’t just something that happens inside your body. Skin is our largest organ, and it’s often where
signs of age show up first. Free radical damage from the sun and pollutants in the environment cause
premature aging- things like wrinkles, thin skin, and sun spots.43

Antioxidants are thought to be the main

line of defense against free radicals that
cause skin damage. Vitamin C, specifically,
is an antioxidant that works at the cellular
level to fight signs of aging and prevent
more damage from happening.44, 45

If you have an uneven skin tone or

hyperpigmentation, vitamin C can reduce
pigmentation and redness, and even out
your skin. This is the science behind using
lemon juice to lighten skin (an old trick).46

And though you can apply lemon juice to your skin, studies have shown that it can be just as effective for
skin health when taken as part of your diet.47

How to: Try a lemon juice face mask by mixing the freshly squeezed juice with honey or egg
whites. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it completely off. Keep in mind
that lemon can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so try the mask in the evening if
possible. You can also drink 1-3 cups of lemon water a day or incorporate it into your diet
another way.

Supports Digestion and Detoxification

Warm or hot lemon water has become a popular beverage for starting the day. Ayurvedic medicine,
in particular, teaches that the sourness of lemon helps to jump start your digestion and improve the
naturally detoxifying processes of your body.

Studies show that the citric acid in lemon juice is a key part of its digestive support because it supports
healthy liver function. Bile production happens in the liver and is needed for the breakdown of fats
during the digestive process.48

Drinking lemon water also encourages your kidneys to keep flushing toxins out through your urine,
further helping your body to detox.49

How to: Squeeze half of a lemon into a mug and fill it up with warm or hot water. Add honey
if desired. Drink it first thing in the morning or between meals during the day.

 May Support Weight Loss

Switching out high calorie drinks for something like lemon juice can certainly help you lose weight, but
there may be more to lemons than just fewer calories.

Animal and lab studies have shown that certain compounds in lemon extracts can either prevent or
reduce weight gain. Human studies have yet to be undertaken, but adding lemon to your diet is a simple
trick to help manage your weight.50, 51

How to: Drink 1-3 cups of lemon water a day, preferably swapping out a high calorie or high
sugar drink.

Reduces Nausea and Morning Sickness

Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms during

pregnancy and happen to most of us from time to time.
Lemon juice is an old remedy that has proven itself to
be effective at reducing nausea.

One of the problems with feeling nauseated is that

you often don’t feel like eating or drinking anything-
even if it will help. Studies have shown that lemon can
help with both nausea and vomiting just by inhalation
alone.52

How to: Drink some lemon and ginger tea to

calm nausea, or simply inhale the fragrance
of a freshly cut lemon.

Rinse for Shiny Hair

Rinsing with a lemon juice solution after washing your hair will give it shine and bring life to dull hair. You
can also make a lemon juice scrub to massage into your scalp to exfoliate and cleanse.

How to: Mix the juice from one lemon with 8 oz. of water. After shampooing, pour the rinse
over your hair and massage it in before rinsing out. Or make a scalp scrub with lemon juice,
honey, and sea salt.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 19
 Polish Pots, Pans, and Utensils

The acidic nature of lemon juice makes it a natural cleaner and polisher. It can bring discolored pots and
utensils back to shiny newness, even working on chinaware and marble countertops.

Lemon juice can also get stains and mineral deposits out of coffee makers, tea kettles, faucets, dishes,
and storage containers.

How to: Cut a lemon in half and rub in on aluminum pans, discolored utensils, and chrome
faucets. Wipe with a cloth or rinse in cool water. Dip the cut side of the lemon in salt to make
a more abrasive “scrub” for tougher stains.

Get Rid of Odors

Lemon juice is particularly helpful for odors that are

difficult to get rid, like fish smell or onion odor. It
can also help to clean kitchen surfaces and cutting
boards while deodorizing them at the same time.

How to: Cut a lemon in half and rub it on

your hands, counters, or cutting boards
that have a lingering odor. Let wooden
cutting boards simply absorb the juice,
but wipe or rinse off other surfaces after
the lemon juice has sat for about 10
minutes.

To freshen the air, simply simmer a pot of

water and lemon slices on the stove for a
few hours.

Brighten White Laundry

Lemon juice naturally brightens and whitens and is a less harsh choice than bleach when it comes to
laundry. The fresh, clean scent of lemon is also a nice addition to wash water.

How to: Add a cup of lemon juice to wash water when you do a load of white clothes that
need brightened. For especially dingy socks, soak them overnight in a solution of lemon slices
and just boiled water.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 20
 Soften Hardened Paint Brushes

Accidently letting pain dry on the brushes usually means throwing them away, but lemon juice can
actually save paint-hardened brushes.

How to: Bring a mixture of water and cut lemons or pure lemon juice to a boil in a large pot.
Dip the brushes in, then turn off the heat and let the bristles soak for 15 minutes in the lemon
juice. Wash with soapy water and let them dry.

Even MORE Benefits of Using Them Together

The many benefits of this trio of household ingredients are impressive, but you can get even more
powerful results by combining them. Here are a few examples:

Open a Clogged Drain

Using baking soda and hot vinegar to unclog a drain is

an old trick. To do it, you’ll need a cup of baking soda, a
cup of heated vinegar, and something to cover the drain
opening with.

Pour the baking soda down the drain first. Then, pour
the hot vinegar down after it and quickly cover the drain
with a plug. Allow the baking soda and vinegar to do
their work for a few minutes, then pour a pot of boiling
water down the drain to flush everything out.

Get Rid of Armpit Stains on Clothes

Underarm marks are some of the most difficult stains to get out of clothing, but baking soda and lemon
juice can do the trick.

Make a solution of one part baking soda, one part lemon juice, and one part water. Rub it onto the stains
and use a soft brush to work it further into the material. Let the solution sit for at least 30-60 minutes
and wash the clothing as usual.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Lemon Juice: 39 Surprising and AWESOME Uses of Nature’s Powerhouse Trio 21
 Get Rid of Carpet Stains

A simple solution of baking soda and vinegar can get

rid of difficult carpet stains (and will deodorize your
carpet, too).

Make a mixture of vinegar and baking soda in a spray

bottle at a ratio of 1:1. The fizzing that occurs when
the two are mixed is from the creation of a compound
called carbonic acid that can help break down stains.

Spray the solution over the stained area on your

carpet. Let it sit until dry, about an hour. Then, scrub
off the residue with a brush and vacuum the area.
Any leftover baking soda can be wiped off with a
damp cloth.
