1. Skin improvement
Baking soda is an effective treatment option for acne. Skin imperfections can create discomfort that is accompanied by low self-confidence and a lot of complexes. If you want to quickly get rid of acne without the use of expensive purchased creams and ointments, you can use baking soda. Mix 1-2 teaspoons of soda with a face wash and warm water until pasty consistency. Apply this mixture to every pimple and leave it for 10-15 minutes to dry. Then rinse your face with water.
2. Nail strengthening and treatment
Baking soda can help get rid of the fungus. It also improves the appearance of nails and the skin around them because of its exfoliating and healing properties. Moreover, baking soda cleans the skin and makes it lighter. Create a warm bath with a tablespoon of baking sope and place your hands into it for 10-15 minutes.
3. Digestion improvement
Baking soda can help reduce certain digestive problems because it is a natural antacid. This means that it can help reduce acid reflux or at least ease its symptoms. Moreover, baking soda can eliminate heartburn and indigestion.
