Cut a Lemon in 4, Add Salt, and Place It in Your Room: This Trick Will Change Your Life

Cut the lemon into four equal parts.

Sprinkle salt generously onto the cut sides of the lemon pieces.

Place the lemon slices in a bowl or directly on a small plate in your room, ideally somewhere you spend a lot of time, like your desk or bedside table.

Let the lemon and salt combination sit for at least 12 hours to work its magic.
