Description
Baking soda is a compound that is found in nature, most notably in natron. It was first made available to the public in 1846 and was widely advertised as a "proven medical agent" in the 1930s. It is now known for its versatile qualities for cooking and household use, but few people are aware of its potent medicinal properties. Some of these properties include the ability to brush and whiten teeth, remove splinters, alkalise your body, and restore pH balance. It is also used to ward off colds and flu, and to polish silver.
