I love the magic of baking soda!

I cook with it, clean with it and use it in my bath. Baking soda, a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate balances PH, therefore keeping a substance neither too acidic, or too alkaline. It is the perfect cleaning solution, air deodorizer and personal care product. It also allows me to use fewer chemicals in my home and on my body, and due to its multi- purposes it saves me from spending money on cleaners, whiteners and other health care products.

I no longer need to buy harsh chemicals to clean my home; I simply use baking soda and vinegar.

Why not buy a box or 10 for your home and get on the healthy, baking soda band wagon. Here are 15 ways to use it in your home.

  1. Use as an antacid- A great way to relieve heartburn and indigestion.
  2. Treat insect bites- Make a paste with a little water and place on bite.
