They also contain some Vitamin A, potassium, niacin and thiamine. Lemon juice is an excellent antibacterial as well as a diuretic. It can bring down a fever, improve digestive disorders and relieve constipation. It can increase the alkalinity of the body. A mixture of lemon juice and water will purify the blood and cleanse the liver and kidneys. If used regularly, it will greatly enhance your health and give your skin a youthful glow.

Drink the mixture on an empty stomach first thing every morning. Some prefer to drink it before bed, believing that the body goes through its cleansing during the night.
