Healing with Baking Soda & Water

Today, I want to discuss the numerous health benefits of baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate. While commonly used for baking, baking soda offers surprising advantages for your health. For instance, it can effectively alleviate heartburn by neutralizing stomach acid triggered by overeating, stress, or consuming greasy/spicy foods. Simply dissolve half to one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water to soothe acid reflux.

Additionally, baking soda serves as a potent mouthwash, combating bad breath with its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Just mix half a teaspoon with warm water, swish, and gargle for refreshing results.

If you struggle with excessive sweating and resultant odor, baking soda can help by neutralizing acidic waste products under your armpits. Applying a small amount can significantly reduce odor.

For skin issues like itching or sunburn, a baking soda bath (one to two cups in lukewarm water) can provide relief after a 10-15 minute soak. It also softens calluses on feet caused by ill-fitting shoes when used in foot soaks.

Brushing teeth with a mixture of water and baking soda effectively removes stubborn stains. It's also beneficial for managing acne when diluted and applied to affected areas due to its drying and antibacterial properties.

For canker sores, a paste made from baking soda and water applied directly can speed up healing and alleviate discomfort, thanks to its alkalinity and antibacterial effects.

Even urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be eased with baking soda, which helps detoxify kidneys and prevent infection spread. Drinking a solution of half to one teaspoon of baking soda in water on an empty stomach can aid in combating these issues.

Incorporating these simple, natural remedies into your routine can offer significant health benefits. Share this information with your friends and family to spread the knowledge.
