It's common knowledge that baking soda is used for leavening baked goods, making them rise into lovely and delicious edible creations. And it's also fairly common knowledge that it will calm your stomach after over-eating. Plus, it's a great household cleaner. But it's perhaps less commonly known that baking soda is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antifungal, antipruritic, and antibacterial! It works tirelessly to keep the body in harmonious pH balance. Among its numerous applications when taken orally, baking soda attacks toxins that crystallize in the body and sees to it that they get removed. This addresses a number of health issues from gout to kidney stones. Baking soda is also effective in healing or keeping at bay UTIs, reducing the use of antibiotics, which are becoming evermore ineffective. Because baking soda is antiseptic and alkaline, it supports a healthy urinary system including the blood, the urinary tract, and the bladder.*** Reaching back into the long ago and far away, the ancient Egyptians used the base of baking soda, natron, for everything from soap, to toothpaste, to the paints they made for their hieroglyphics, to mummification. Save Your Life with Basic Baking Soda is full to overflowing with health, household, historic, and science information about sodium bicarbonate. Watch for it in the very near future.
