You’ve surely heard about the amazing health benefits of baking soda, or even tried it yourself. It is one of the cheapest and at the same time most effective natural medicinal substances.
It has a directly miraculous effect on improving human health in many ways. It treats various illnesses and removes health problems by neutralizing acidity, which is a common cause of many diseases.
Your body can even produce baking soda in the kidneys.
However, the body’s acidity can be so pronounced in today’s over-chemized, toxin-filled times that the kidneys cannot produce a sufficient amount. And then it is necessary to supply it to the body from outside.
Let’s now take a closer look at ways to use the enormous healing potential of soda.
1. Drink a glass of water with a little dissolved baking soda (1 teaspoon) to relieve joint pain and inflammation.
2. Regularly consume small amounts of baking soda to support your kidneys’ function, neutralize acidity and help other organs remove acids from the body (but not more than 1 teaspoon at a time and 3 teaspoons per day).
3. Drink a glass of water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda to neutralize heartburn, stomach pain or cramps from stomach ulcers. Do not do this sooner than 1 hour after eating so as not to impair digestion (stomach acids are necessary for proper digestion of food).
4. In the morning add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. Half an hour later do the same with water and lemon juice. Baking soda and lemon both act alkalizing on the body (even though lemon is acidic) and thus help prevent various diseases.
5. Make a solution of 2 dcl of water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda and gargle it 3 times a day if you have bad breath. Do this until the problem is resolved. If it doesn’t help, the origin of the bad breath will probably be in the stomach.
6. According to Dr. Tullio Simoncini, baking soda can cure cancer. There are several recipes, for example a combination of baking soda with maple syrup or its regular use to remove the body’s acidity, which is often a cause of cancer.
7. Make a paste from equal amounts of water and baking soda.
Apply this paste to the skin and cure eczema, rashes, acne, sunburns or other skin problems.
8. You can also use the paste from the previous point to soften the skin, for example on the elbows or other places where the skin is roughened.
9. Mix honey with baking soda and use this mixture to remove athlete’s foot on the feet.
10. Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of honey and 2 dcl of plain water. Drink this 1 to 2 times a day for Candida problems (yeast infection).
11. A 1:1 mixture of soda and water is an excellent natural exfoliant. Gently massage the areas where you want to remove dead top layers of skin with this mixture.
12. You can brush your teeth with the same mixture to whiten them and also remove infections in the oral cavity. Do this gently so the soda granules do not damage tooth enamel and do not do it more often than 3 times a week.
13. In a basin of warm water dissolve a few tablespoons of baking soda, add a few drops of essential oil and soak your feet in it for 15 to 20 minutes. It will help remove foot odor and fungal infections on the skin and nails.
14. With a paste made from soda and water in a 1:1 ratio you can relieve stings and insect bites.
15. Apply the same paste to the scalp and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. If you do this at least twice a week, it will help you get rid of dandruff and itching.
