❓ Q & A
❓ Does this drink kill cancer cells?
No. There is no scientific evidence that lemon, mint, or any drink can kill cancer cells. Cancer treatment must always be guided by a medical professional.
❓ Can this drink help gastritis?
It may help soothe digestion for some people, but lemon can irritate sensitive stomachs. If you have gastritis, try less lemon or drink it after meals, not on an empty stomach.
❓ Is it safe for diabetes?
Yes, if made without honey. Lemon and mint may help with hydration and insulin sensitivity, but they are not a treatment for diabetes.
❓ How does it support liver health?
Lemon and mint can support hydration and digestion, which helps the liver function efficiently—but they do not detox the liver or cure disease.
❓ How often can I drink it?
1–2 cups daily is generally safe for most people.
❓ Can I drink it during medical treatment?
Usually yes, but always check with your doctor, especially during cancer treatment or if you’re on medication.
