🧪 7 Health Uses of Baking Soda
1️ Teeth whitening + oral antibacterial
- An alkaline environment can inhibit acidic bacteria in the mouth (such as those that cause bad breath and dental plaque).
- Directions for use: Mix 1 tablespoon baking soda with 1 tablespoon water and then brush your teeth/rinse your mouth.
- Benefits: Reduces plaque, bad breath, and dental tartar.
2️ Natural antiperspirant
- Sweat itself is odorless → odor comes from bacterial decomposition.
- Baking soda alters the skin's pH, thus inhibiting bacterial growth.
- DIY Recipe: 4 tablespoons baking soda + 4 tablespoons coconut oil/olive oil + a few drops of essential oil (lemon/lavender) → Refrigerate
3️ Removing pesticide residues from vegetables
- Soaking vegetables in baking soda water ( 12–15 minutes) → effectively breaks down some pesticides.
- Suitable for processing non-organic vegetables/preparing vegetables before dining out
- Recommendation: Rinse thoroughly with clean water after each soaking.
4️ Soothes itchy skin (such as insect bites/poison ivy).

- Suitable for: mosquito bites, bee stings, and contact with poison ivy.
5️ Helps with prolonged fasting (reduces excess ketoacids)
- Prolonged fasting → Increased ketone bodies → Increased acidity in the body
- Baking soda can neutralize acidity → reduce bad breath/physical discomfort
- Directions for use: 1/8 teaspoon baking soda + water → once daily.
6️ Inhibits athlete's foot/fungal nail infection (fungal infection)
- Altering skin pH → Inhibiting fungal growth

Starting today, a natural alkaline skincare routine, a targeted antibacterial and anti-inflammatory strategy, and a comprehensive repair plan from the mouth to the skin will lay a solid foundation for your body!
