The Benefits of Baking Soda & Lemon

 

Some call baking soda and lemon juice a miracle solution. Lemons have very strong antimicrobial properties and are powerful against fungal and bacterial infections. They have also been found to regulate blood pressure and help to reduce stress. Research has even found evidence that citrus fruits could be useful in the prevention of cancer. Of course, we know that baking soda helps balance pH levels which make it difficult for disease to take hold. 

 To make a lemon and baking soda drink mix one tablespoon of baking soda into one glass of water and add the juice of one whole organic lemon in a clean quart glass jar. Fill the jar almost to the top with water and let it set overnight. In the morning, drink a glass of the mixture before eating breakfast.

This will cleanse your digestive tract and balance your pH first thing. Drink another glass of the tonic before bedtime.

Other Ways to Use Baking Soda

Besides drinking baking soda, there are numerous other ways to use this interesting and valuable natural substance.


Homemade toothpaste: Homemade toothpaste can be just as effective as store-bought but with fewer chemicals. Mixing a little baking soda with organic coconut oil and a few drops of mint essential oil to make a bacteria fighting toothpaste.

Natural deodorant: If you are looking for a natural deodorant, baking soda is a great option. Mix one part baking soda with six parts cornstarch and put a little under your arms. Add in some lavender essential oil for a fresh fragrance. A few drops is all you need.

Facial exfoliator: Because baking soda is alkaline it helps soften the sebum and debris on the face for easier removal. The granules in baking soda help to remove dead skin cells leaving behind soft and moisturized skin. Using baking soda on your face also helps to kill bacteria as well that can cause outbreaks.
To make an exfoliating mixture, wash the face with warm water and a little coconut oil. Mix a little baking soda with warm water and a couple of drops of tea tree oil in a small bowl. The mixture should be the consistency of toothpaste. Rub the mixture on your face in circular motions, be careful not to get it in your eyes. Rub your face for a few minutes a then rinse with warm water. Follow up with a light layer of moisturizer.

Ant and cockroach repellant: There is nothing worse than an ant infestation that just won’t go away. If you are tired of using chemicals, try sprinkling a little baking soda around the point of entry. In no time, you will find your ants moving out.

Fridge deodorizer: Of course, baking soda is a great old fashioned fridge and freezer deodorizer. Just remember to change out your box at least once a month for ultimate freshness.

Ultimate pot and pan scrubber: Charred pots are so difficult to clean. Who wants to use a load of chemicals? The good news is that baking soda mixed with a little water makes the ideal pot scrubbing mixture. Apply and use a brush or scrubbing pad to get all of your pots clean as a whistle.

Insect bite remedy: To reduce the itch and inflammation of an insect bite you can make a paste using baking soda and water. Dab a bit on and leave it for about ten minutes. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. Use the same mixture for poison ivy or poison oak.

Drain cleaner: Rather than clean your clogged drains with dangerous chemicals, why not try a natural alternative using baking soda. Pour one quart of boiling water down the drain and follow this up with ½ cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white household vinegar. Cover the drain hole and leave it for about thirty minutes. Take the cover off and run very hot water down the drain for about 5 minutes. This is a good monthly drain cleaner treatment whether you have a clog or not.
