As plain as it looks, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is actually a versatile compound with tons of possible uses. The inexpensive household staple is typically used for baking as a leavening agent but could do a lot more – if you’re willing to be adventurous.

⦁ Oral Health: Baking soda can be used as a natural toothpaste to freshens your mouth, remove plaque, whiten teeth, and fight harmful bacteria. ^[1][2]

⦁ Non-Toxic Deodorant: You can make DIY non-toxic deodorant by putting baking soda on your armpits or stinky feet. This makes the sweat less acidic and eliminates the odor. ^[3]

⦁ Neutralize Bad Odors: Unlike conventional fragrances, baking soda does not mask bad odors – it interacts with them and eliminates the odor. ^[4]

⦁ Remove Stains: As an alkali, baking soda helps removes stains and dirt. It can be used to clean your bathroom tubs and tiles, wash your dishes, clean floors, clean furniture, clean shower curtains, clean baby clothes, clean cloth diapers, clean batteries, clean cars, and clean brushes. ^[5]

⦁ Clean Fruits: Research shows that placing fruits in a solution of water and baking soda reduces the number of toxins. ^[6] With this in mind, the compound can be used to clean dirt and residue off fresh fruit and vegetables.

⦁ Health Uses: Baking soda may be used topically to treat insect bites and itchy skin, make a hand cleanser and softener, exfoliate, make a bath soak, and soothe your feet. Similarly, it alkalizes the body when consumed and may help treat colds and the flu, absorb radiation, and absorb heavy metals. ^[7][8]
