Re: Epsom salt/baking SODA Opps!

[Guest guest]

My bad. I meant baking soda. Like the Arm and hammer one. I just put a

couple of shakes into his bath water with less than 1/2 cup epsom

salt. Our doctor said you could do one night of epsom and one night of

baking soda too. I will list some advantages of baking soda below. One

of these does mention epsom salt in combination but this was for

ingesting, not bathing.

Baking soda has over a hundred uses. [2]

It is used in combination with acidic compounds (such as cream of

tartar) as a leavening agent in baking: some forms of baking powder

contain sodium bicarbonate.

Formerly, it was used as a source of carbon dioxide for soda water.

Sodium bicarbonate has been used as an endurance enhancer.

It is used as an antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn.

The anhydrous form is also used to absorb moisture and odours; an open

box can be left in a refrigerator for this purpose.

A paste from baking soda can be very effective when used in cleaning

and scrubbing.

Used in toothpaste, baking soda helps to gently remove stains, whiten

teeth, freshen breath, and dissolve plaque.

Baking soda helps remove body odours as it absorbs chemicals, apply

using a powder puff.

Sodium bicarbonate is used as a fire-suppression agent ( " BC powder " )

in some dry powder fire extinguishers. It is a minor component of

Purple-K dry fire suppression agent.

It can be mixed with cocaine as a part of the process of making crack

cocaine.

It is commonly used to increase the pH and total alkalinity of the

water for pools and spas. Sodium bicarbonate can be added as a simple

solution for restoring the pH balance of water that has a high level

of chlorine.

It kills fleas and drives away ants. If it is applied to a pet's fur,

it must be washed/rinsed off to prevent skin problems.

If a small amount is mixed with water and injested, it cleans out the

kidneys.

A teaspoon of it and a teaspoon of epsom salt in a glass of water

cleans the blood stream.

Baking soda and boiling water unclogs drains.

One cup of baking soda maintains a healthy septic tank. It controls pH

and keeps a good enviroment for the bacteria.

It removes coffee stains, marker, and crayon.

If made into a paste salve, it relieves burning from bug stings,

poison ivy, nettles, and sunburn.

grease cleaner

With water, it cleans the impurities on contact lenses. Rinse

completely before wearing contacts to avoid stinging of the salt in

baking soda.

It is used as a fabric softener in laundry.

facial scrub

It neutralizes battery acid.

It is used to test garden soil for acidity.
