Baking soda is one of the most popular household products used
nationwide to clean, scrub, polish, wash, cook, bake, deodorize, and
yes, even use to neutralize the unpleasant burning sensation of
heartburn.
Just open the fridge of about any American citizen
living in the United States, and you will probably discover, discreetly
hidden behind the groceries, the well-known orange box Arm & Hammer
Baking Soda.
This product increasing popularity for multiple uses goes way beyond eliminating fridge orders.
Nowhere on this planet will you find a cheaper price for a product that will effectively whiten your teeth.
If you want whiter teeth just sprinkle the powder on top of your tooth paste and brush.
You
will immediately experience a feeling of cleanliness in your mouth and
within a few days of repeating this process you will notice your teeth
getting whiter. Please note that, Arm & Hammer sells a formulated
whitening toothpaste. But for myself, I have found it more effective at
whitening my teeth by sprinkling the powder on top of my favorite tooth
paste when brushing.
It' s also a great product to use when heartburn occurs.
I
remember after eating breakfast in a restaurant, I started to get
heartburn. Feeling uncomfortable, I immediately walked towards the front
counter asking the waitress if they had something to soothe the pain of
heartburn.
The cook kitchen who overheard the conversation,
concocted a drink and told me to drink it slowly. After only a few
minutes, my heartburn disappeared.
When asking him for the recipe,
he told me that he simply mixed 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda in a
glass of water and added carrot juice to enhance the flavour.
Since
that episode, I experimented with several different mixtures. I have
notice better results when combining the Baking soda recipe for
heartburn with natural vegetable juice like carrot, broccoli, celery or
spinach instead of mixing it with fruit juices like orange, banana,
strawberry and apples.
I prefer using this product instead of
antacid tablets because it' s far less diluted with chemical
preservatives. Baking soda is a natural heartburn home remedy that
effectively encounters the pain caused by acid reflux.
When
talking to my doctor about the effectiveness of Arm & Hammer Baking
Soda for my heartburn, he mentioned that it' s not recommended for
people with high blood pressure because it contains too much sodium to
be taken regularly. WARNING: if you have high blood pressure or any
medical condition, do not use baking soda for heartburn before
consulting with your doctor.
