Soda was used since antiquity to combat various diseases, from dermatological problems to treating colds and flu. Learn more about this ingredient with us!
Baking soda is a white powder, which is found in the house, probably every landlady, because he has so many options for use! Indeed, a universal tool. Our mothers and grandmothers always keep it at hand for cooking or cleaning various surfaces.
This product is easy to get in nature, but to make soda available to everyone, its production is made industrial. It is important to note that it does not contain additives, and therefore has more advantages than disadvantages.
Useful properties of baking soda
Before starting a regular intake of baking soda, you must consult your doctor in order not to harm your health.
Baking soda can be:
1. Natural remedy for digestion
Yes, this ingredient is the best friend of our digestive system. Soda helps to quickly digest heavy meals and reduces flatulence .Â
2. The natural anti acid
Baking soda is an ideal remedy for gastroesophageal reflux , as it converts hydrochloric acid, which rises from the stomach into the esophagus, into sodium chloride. This transformation stops the burning sensation and brings instant relief.
3. Cleanser
Baking soda helps the liver get rid of accumulated toxins (which the body simply can not somehow absorb and remove naturally). Another soda is rich in vitamin C and potassium, and therefore is one of the best natural antioxidants.
4. Antiseptic
More soda can neutralize bacteria and viruses and fight various infections. It is known that it reduces pain and relieves inflammation in infections of the throat.
5. Means against influenza
This is a well-known home remedy for fighting colds and flu. It allows you to cope with the pathogens and greatly alleviate the symptoms of malaise.
6. An agent for fighting cystitis
Consumption of soda helps the kidneys create a “protective barrier” and prevent the ingress of bacteria . In the case of an existing infection of the urinary tract, consumption of soda is also recommended, as it helps to alleviate the condition and reduce the intensity of the symptoms.
