Relieve itching and sunburn
A baking soda bath is often recommended to soothe itchy skin, as these baths are a popular treatment for itching caused by insect bites and bee stings.
Additionally, baking soda may help soothe itchiness caused by sunburn.
To make a baking soda bath, add 1-2 cups of baking soda to a bathtub filled with lukewarm water, and be sure to soak the affected area well.
Uses of baking soda
Baking soda can be used at home in the following ways:
Mouthwash
It is helpful to use mouthwash as part of a daily hygiene routine, as the mouthwash reaches the corners of the mouth, cracks of the teeth, gums and tongue, which are areas that the toothbrush may not reach.
Many people use baking soda as an alternative to mouthwash. Some studies have shown that it can help freshen your breath, and even provide anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties.
However, other studies found that baking soda mouthwash did not significantly lower levels of oral bacteria, although it increased salivary pH, which is important for preventing bacterial growth.
To make the rinse, add half a teaspoon of baking soda to half a cup of warm water, then use it.
