Note:People still confuse baking soda with baking powder and the presence
of aluminum.Baking soda has never had aluminum.
Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) commonly called baking soda is a natural
substance used in the human body within the bloodstream to regulate pH as
a counterbalance to acid build up, which is critical to life. It affects the pH of
cells and tissues, balances cell voltage, and increases CO2 which helps with
oxygenation. Sodium Bicarbonate is a powerful medical tool that everyone
would benefit by knowing more about.
1) Oral Health. A plaque-busting tooth and gum paste
Baking soda is a popular ingredient in toothpastes and mouthwashes since it
has been shown to enhance plaque removal. For an incredibly effective
tooth and gum paste, use a mixture of six parts of baking soda to one part of
sea salt. Place them in a blender and mix for 30 seconds, then place in a
container to use. Wet the tip of your index finger and place a small amount
of the salt and soda mixture on your gums. Starting with the upper outside
gums and then the inside of the upper, followed by the lower outside of the
gums then the lower inside, rub the mixture onto your teeth and gums. Spit
out the excess. After 15 minutes rinse your mouth. This mixture is incredibly
effective at killing bacteria.For a natural way to whiten your teeth, crush one
ripe strawberry and mix it with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Spread the
mixture onto your teeth and leave on for five minutes. Then brush your teeth

and rinse. This method should be used no more than once a week, as
excessive use could potentially damage your tooth enamel.
2) Natural Deodorant.
Using baking soda as a deodorant is a simple way to combat body odor
without subjecting your pits to a variety of chemicals. Mix an eighth of a
teaspoon of baking soda with a little bit of water dont dissolve it and
rub it under your arms. You can also create a baking soda and cornstarch
mix to fight odor and help prevent wetness. Simply mix one part baking soda
with six parts cornstarch and dust a little on your underarms. You can also
dip finger in water, then apply baking soda to each arm pit and spread the
solution with a natural deodorant crystal.
3)Kidney Disease

Bicarbonate is an alkaline substance naturally produced in the body that


buffers acids and helps keep pH in check. In people who have chronic
kidney disease, which is most often caused by diabetes or hypertension,
poorly functioning kidneys have a hard time removing acid from the body.
This often results in a condition known as metabolic acidosis.
In one study, British researchers treated patients with advanced kidney
disease and metabolic acidosis with oral sodium bicarbonate in conjunction
with their usual treatment for two years. The sodium bicarbonate slowed the
rate of decline in kidney function by two-thirds, and just 6.5 percent of the
patients treated with sodium bicarbonate required dialysis by the end of the
study, compared to 33 percent in a control group. Discuss this with your
physician and encourage him to look into this promising therapy, which can
slow the progression of this devastating disease.
4) Cancer
Studies have shown that dietary measures to boost bicarbonate levels
canincrease thepHof acidic tumors without upsetting the pH of the
blood and healthy tissues. Although this hasnt yet been studied in human
clinical trials, animal models of humanbreast cancershow that oral sodium
bicarbonate does indeed make tumors more alkaline and inhibit metastasis.
Based on these studies, plus the fact that baking soda is safe and well
tolerated, world renowned doctors such as Dr. Julian Whitaker have adopted
successful cancer treatment protocols as part of an overall nutritional and
immune support program for patients who are dealing with the disease. The
Whitaker protocol uses 12 g (2 rounded teaspoons) of baking soda mixed in
2 cups water, along with a low-cal sweetener of your choice. (Its quite salty
tasting.) Sip this mixture over the course of an hour or two and repeat for a

total of three times a day. One man claims he has found a cure for cancer
usingbaking soda and molassesand actually successfully treated his own
disease by using baking soda.
5)Dermatological Conditions
For insect bites, make a paste out of baking soda and water, and apply as a
salve onto affected skin. To ease the itch, shake some baking soda into your
hand and rub it into damp skin after bath or shower.
As a Sunburn remedy, add 1/2 cup of baking soda to lukewarm bathwater,
then soak in the tub for natural relief. When you get out, let your skin air dry,
rather than toweling off the excess baking soda, for extra relief. You can also
add a mixture of baking soda and water to a cool compress and apply it to
the sunburn directly.

Skip harsh soaps and gently scrub away ground-in dirt and neutralize odors
on hands with a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water, or 3 parts
baking soda to gentle liquid hand soap. Then rinse clean.
A paste made from three parts of baking soda combined with 1 part water
can be used as an exfoliator for your face and body. Its natural, inexpensive
and gentle enough to use every day.
For splinters, add a tablespoon of baking soda to a small glass of water, then
soak the affected area twice a day. Many splinters will come out on their own
after a couple of days using this treatment.
If you cant afford a standard spa treatment, create a foot soak by adding
baking soda to warm water. Its a well-known way to heal athletes foot, but
its also great for easing calluses.

British researchers found that adding one-half cup of baking soda to


bathwater soothed itchiness and irritation in patients with psoriasis.
6) Antacid. Use for heartburn, indigestion and even ulcers
Most over-the-counter antacids, such as Alka-Seltzer, Tums, and Rolaids,
contain some form of bicarbonate. But a more cost-effective way to relieve
occasional heartburn and indigestion is to stir half a teaspoon of baking soda
into half a cup of water and drink it an hour or two after meals. Baking soda
can neutralize pain from stomach and duodenal ulcers, GERD, hiatal hernia
and other conditions causing acid relfux. One caution with ulcers is that you
should not treat them chronically with baking soda. Although it helps at first,
sodium bicarbonate can cause the stomach to produce more acid, which
sometimes makes things worse.
7) Cold and Flu

In their booklet Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Medical Uses, published in
1924, Dr. Volney S. Cheney recounts his clinical successes with sodium
bicarbonate in treating cold and flu. He stated treated all cases of cold,
influenza and LaGripe by first giving generous doses of bicarbonate of soda,
and in many, many instances within 36 hours the symptoms would have
entirely abated.Simply dissolve the recommended amount of baking soda
in a glass of cold water and drink it. Recommended dosages from the Arm &
Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:
Day 1 Take six doses of 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool
water, at about two-hour intervals
Day 2 Take four doses of 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool
water, at the same intervals
Day 3 Take two doses of 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool
water morning and evening, and thereafter 1/2 teaspoon in glass of cool
water each morning until cold symptoms are gone

8) Energizer
Refresh with invigorating scents that wake you up. Make vibrant-smelling
essential oils combined with baking soda to elevate mornings to a whole
new level in the shower. Heres agreat recipe.
