Baking soda is a versatile ingredient that is commonly used to rise dough during baking or as a cleaning agent. However, it has many more uses which you probably weren’t aware of – here are the top 7:
Takes care of your feet
Mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 liters of water and soak your feet in to rejuvenate your skin and make it softer.
Say goodbye to sweat
Mix some baking soda with a bit of water to create a powerful chemical-free deodorant. Put a bit of the paste on your underarms to keep them dry and prevent body odor.
Treats minor gastric problems
Drink a glass of cold water with 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda to relieve digestive problems such as acid reflux, heartburn and stomachache.
Relieves bee bites
Baking soda is especially helpful in cases of bee or wasp bites. Bicarbonate is alkaline in nature and can neutralize the effects of the injected poison.
Removes splinters
Mix equal parts of baking soda and water and apply the paste on the affected areas to remove splinters easily. Try this method the next time you have a splinter instead of clamps and you will be amazed by the results!
Great for your hair
Add some baking soda in your favorite shampoo to deep clean your hair and scalp and improve the quality of your hairs.
Treats sunburns
To alleviate sunburns, mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda with some warm water and apply the paste on the affected areas. This will accelerate the healing process and relieve the pain.
