The video recommends a homemade mouthwash recipe: Mix a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with an eighth of a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water. Use this once or twice daily, particularly after meals.
This video explores the numerous uses of baking soda (Natron), highlighting applications beyond its common use in baking and odor removal. The speaker emphasizes the product's cost-effectiveness and versatility, suggesting that some industries keep its full potential a secret due to competition with more expensive solutions. The video details eight common applications and one lesser-known trick.
Baking soda (Natron) alleviates heartburn: Its alkaline properties neutralize excess stomach acid, providing relief. A recommended dosage is half a teaspoon dissolved in two cups of water, consumed slowly about an hour after meals. However, daily use is discouraged due to potential disruption of stomach pH.
Baking soda promotes oral health: It reduces mouth acidity, inhibiting harmful bacteria growth and protecting tooth enamel. A homemade mouthwash (baking soda and salt in warm water) is suggested for daily use. It's also useful for gentle teeth whitening.
Baking soda helps with joint pain and inflammation: Studies show its anti-inflammatory effects, improving symptoms in conditions like arthritis. A small daily dose dissolved in water, preferably after meals, is suggested, but consultation with a doctor is advised, especially for those with hypertension, heart, or kidney problems.
Baking soda supports kidney health: Studies indicate reduced risk of complete kidney failure in patients with chronic kidney disease who regularly consume baking soda. It neutralizes excess blood acid, reducing the strain on the kidneys. Consult a doctor before using it for kidney issues.
Baking soda benefits skin health: It creates a soothing paste for insect bites, rashes, and irritation. It also works as a natural exfoliant and has antifungal properties against foot fungus and nail infections.
Baking soda provides relief from urinary tract infections (UTIs): By increasing urine pH, it inhibits bacterial growth, thus alleviating UTI symptoms. However, it shouldn't replace antibiotic treatment and should only be used under medical supervision.
Baking soda enhances physical performance and muscle recovery: Before high-intensity exercise, it can neutralize lactic acid buildup, improving performance and reducing post-workout soreness. A warm bath with baking soda is recommended post-workout. Consult a health or sports professional before use.
Important Safety Precautions: The video emphasizes the importance of using baking soda correctly and responsibly, providing dosage recommendations and cautions against overuse or use by certain groups (e.g., individuals with high blood pressure or kidney disease, pregnant or breastfeeding women).
