Dry feet, and particularly dry heels, are a problem most of us are familiar with. Particularly if you spend time in your day standing or walking.

You can decrease the severity of epidermal skin conditions by soaking your feet in a mixture of warm water and bicarb once a day.

Fresh Air

Baking soda makes for an excellent alternative to conventional air fresheners. Whereas traditional air fresheners simple mask odors, bicarb actively absorbs them. There are additional health benefits in that many air fresheners use butane and isopropanol, both of which are harmful to your environment and health.

Ideally Clean Bathroom

A bathroom is one of the more challenging areas in your home to keep clean and sanitized. It is frequently a shared space and can foster a variety of microorganisms that are harmful and unsanitary. Because the bathroom is also subject to a lot of moisture by way of steam it is not uncommon for mold buildup to form. Creating a paste with baking soda and hot water to use as a scrubbing agent will assist in sanitizing your bathroom and removing any build-up of moss and grime.

Sparkling White Teeth

Dentists recommend brushing your teeth three times per day for a minimum period of two minutes. Realistically very few of us find the time to adhere to this rule. It does not matter how frequently you brush in terms of the sanitation of your toothbrush, however. The human mouth contains significantly more bacteria than that of dogs. This is food for thought when it comes to keeping your toothbrush clean. A prudent measure is to soak your dental hygiene tools in a cup of hot water with a tablespoon of bicarb once a day, ensuring your dental cleaning kit is clean for service.

No More Itching

Sodium bicarbonate is a commonly used ingredient in a number of anti-itch creams. Although these creams generally focus on numbing the area or reducing the body’s natural histamine response, the efficacy of bicarb on its own cannot be denied. A thick paste of purified water and baking soda applied directly to the affected area should reduce the symptoms of itching almost instantaneously. This method can also be applied to scabs so as to mitigate the urge to prematurely scratch off a scab.

Indigestion Remedy

We are all familiar with the incredible discomfort commonly referred to as heartburn. Whilst having nothing at all to do with your heart, acid reflux, to use the proper terminology causes severe pain in the esophagus creating the sensation of extreme chest pain. Acid reflux is linked to dietary sensitivities and the consumption of alcohol. As your digestive system becomes inundated by high levels of gastric acid this is pushed up past the stomach and into the esophagus. Baking soda is one of the best deacidifying agents on the market. A teaspoon dissolved in 500ml of water will bring relief quickly and soothe away the symptom naturally.

Goodbye Dandruff

Although considered a social faux pas, a flaky scalp and the subsequent dandruff is a symptom of a rather mundane inconvenience. A dry scalp. It would be apocryphal to say that there are no products that can remedy this situation, however the most inexpensive by far is to compliment your hair care routine with a baking soda scalp massage. Best done while showering, the baking soda should be rinsed thoroughly for best results, and not done too often or it could have the opposite effect.

Sporting Fatigue Fix

When it comes to athletic supplements, the vast majority are considered contraband, and those which are not are packed with chemicals that impact everything from your immune system to your hormones. Aside from these drawbacks, few of these products address one of the biggest problems for the individual seeking a more casual workout routine. One for the purpose of staying healthy and getting in shape. The primary reason that people who start exercising don’t stick to it is the pain and stiffness coinciding with an as yet unfit body. Some reasons for this lies in the buildup of lactic acids in muscle tissue. A tablespoon of bicarb in 500ml of water an hour before exercise will increase overall stamina and drastically reduce the aftereffects of exercise in terms of discomfort.

Kidney Detox

Seeing as this is another tip that directly concerns your medical health it is wise to consult with your doctor to be certain that you do not have any preexisting conditions that may be negatively impacted by using bicarb in this way. That said, bicarb has, in numerous clinical trials, shown its efficacy in reducing the risk of kidney failure and other kidney-related conditions. People with healthy kidneys should NOT start drinking baking soda, but for those with some specific kidney problems, baking soda can help make the blood less acid, which can slow the progression of kidney disease. However, we repeat, get medical advice before trying this.

Hairbrush Refurbisher

Your hairbrush falls within the category of daily grooming products, and with extensive use comes buildup. This is most certainly not to say that it is dirt or anything of the sort.

Because many of these products have an oil base or are designed to have some adhesive properties for styling, getting rid of them can seem quite the challenge. An hour-long soak in hot water with a high concentration of baking soda mixed in and all the gunk will literally melt away, leaving your hairbrush good as new.
