Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda (soda bicarbonate) , is a white powder with an alkaline effect. Sodium bicarbonate is used as a component of baking powders and effervescent powders for drinks, to neutralize acid burns or to neutralize gastric juices in the case of overacidity of the stomach, so-called heartburn. It can also be used for teeth whitening, to soften foods boiled in water, for household cleaning and to absorb unwanted odors.

Tableted baking soda can be recommended to anyone who has problems with heartburn and the rise of gastric juices into the oral cavity. Baking soda balances the acidity of the stomach and eliminates these problems.
Baking soda can also be used as a perfect odor catcher in the refrigerator (one baking powder for one month).
In cosmetics, loose baking soda mixed in water is also used as a cleansing toner .
Baking soda mixed in water is also good for burns, as it relieves pain from sunburn, stinging nettles, or insect bites .
Furthermore, baking soda mixed with water works well as a mouthwash for canker sores .
When baking soda powder is massaged into the hair, it can reduce dandruff .

Baking soda is not suitable as an ingredient in regular baths . If you draw water for bathing from the water supply, in most cases you will get alkaline water. Using soda would increase this alkalinity even more and would cause excessive drying of the skin. Such a bath, as is known, is used only for the feet and softens the calloused skin , which can then be better removed with a pumice stone or file.
A baking soda bath also helps treat nail fungus and also works on skin fungus .
When bathing your whole body in baking soda, it is necessary to apply a moisturizing body lotion or cream to the skin after drying it while it is still damp. The ideal care in this case is organic coconut oil or olive oil.
