LESS-KNOWN USES FOR BAKING SODA

Splinters

Instructions:

Don’t squeeze the splinter as it may get deeper inside or break into smaller pieces. Wash and dry the skin. Then, combine some water with ¼ tsp of baking soda to create a thick paste. Apply the paste onto the splinter and secure with a bandage. Remove the bandage after 24 hours, pull the splinter with tweezers and apply antiseptic cream.

Baking soda causes the skin to swell and push the splinter out and this method will remove even the deeply embedded glass shard.

Teeth Whitener and General Oral Health

It has been scientifically shown that toothpaste containing baking soda “enhanced plaque removal effectiveness of tooth brushing to a significantly greater extent” works better than non-baking soda toothpaste.

In order to white your teeth naturally, combine mashed strawberry with a ½ tsp of baking soda. Apply the mixture onto the teeth and let it work for five minutes. Then, brush the teeth as usual and rinse well.

This method should be used once a week because excessive use of baking soda may damage the tooth enamel. In addition to this, this mixture kills off bacteria too.

Body Odor

Being amphoteric, baking soda reacts with substances having strong acid or base pH levels. It reacts with them by making those particles less acidic and neutralizing them. Therefore, it is highly recommended to make your own semi-solid stick of deodorant rather than buying it in to stores, as conventional cosmetic products contain many chemicals.

 The general recipe includes Shea butter, virgin coconut oil, baking soda, arrowroot power and 1-2 drops of some essential oil, to your preference.

Burns

Combine baking soda with water, put them to a cool compress and apply onto the burn. For the purpose of getting sun burn relief, add ½ cup of baking soda to lukewarm bathwater and soak in the tub for about twenty minutes. This method helps calm the skin and heal the burn.

Bee Stings

When bees sting a person they inject venom through their stinger. In case you are allergic to bees, clean the area with water and soap and then apply a paste made of baking soda and water. This mixture will break down the venom injected into the skin and help soothe the skin.

Acid Reflux, Heartburn and Stomach Pain

The prescribed and over-the-counter drugs usually come with side effects. The good news is that baking soda helps to neutralize the excess acid that causes these issues.

All you have to do is to dissolve ½ teaspoon of baking soda into a half glass of water. Take it every two hours but make sure you don’t take more than seven ½ teaspoons in 24 hours, or three ½ teaspoons if you’re over 60.

Alkalizing pH

Given the fact that cancer cells cannot thrive in an alkaline environment, this method to stunt any growth is used to treat cancer of the digestive tract, including colon, throat, rectal and other cancers in between.

For people weighing 170 pounds the recommended dosage is 4-6 teaspoons on a daily basis for general detox. When it comes to maintaining proper pH of 7.4, it is recommended to take 1-2 teaspoons of baking soda daily.

Even though the value of proper pH is 7.4, you need to keep a pH of 8.5 during the first days in order to make the cancer cells die. Consider keeping the pH between 8.0 and 8.5 until the cancer starts to die and tumors begin to shrink but reduce the intake of baking soda to keep the healthy range of 7.4 afterwards.
