Baking soda is the common name for the inorganic compound sodium bicarbonate. It is used in the food, chemical, cosmetic and household industries. The versatility and universality of this product means that almost everyone has at least one container in their home. In order for baking soda to retain its properties for as long as possible, it should be stored in a dry, dark and cool place. Its judicious use is safe and effective - it can facilitate many everyday activities.
Baking soda contains in its composition mainly sodium and carbon, which in combination have a strong cleaning effect (in larger quantities even mildly corrosive), a fermenting effect and an aid to baking cakes. Kitchen baking soda is safe, so it can be used as an additive in baked goods and dishes without fear. It has been shown to cleanse the body of toxins and normalise the pH in the body - extremely important as most people struggle with acidity these days. In addition, it freshens the breath, helps treat asthma, relieves a runny nose and eliminates indigestion. Adding baking soda to the bath can provide great relief from burning and itching skin caused by urinary tract infections. The product can be used widely as a cleaning agent, as it neutralises unpleasant odours, cleans silverware, shoes and all other surfaces, and repels insects such as cockroaches.
Because of the wide range of uses of baking soda, its purchase is recommended to everyone. Whether you like to fuss around in the kitchen, those who care about their health, those with symptoms of reflux disease or cleaning enthusiasts. It is a good idea to stock up on baking soda before doing any major housecleaning - especially if you appreciate natural cleaning products and also want to achieve the perfect consistency in your baked dough.
Baking soda is commonly used in the kitchen - as an addition to cakes, cookies and other baked goods. A small amount of it poured into cooking vegetables that give off an unpleasant odour will quickly neutralise these aromas. Due to its ability to neutralise acidic pH, a teaspoon of soda can be mixed with a glass of water and drunk when heartburn occurs. In medicine, the product is used for inhalations to soothe sore throats and coughs and to reduce discomfort after insect bites. In the household, baking soda can be used to clean and whiten soiled surfaces, neutralise odours and remove pests.
