Baking soda is a multipurpose item. Well it says right on the box: "For baking, cleansing, & deodorizing." I’ve heard of lots of things you can use it for including a cleanser and teeth whitener. However, I never heard of actually ingesting it for any reason until now. If you mix baking soda in warm water and drink it down it helps with UTI (urinary tract infection) symptoms. Eh gross I know kind of a nasty topic, but I’m telling you it works. If you’ve ever had one or know someone who has had one you already know that they are not pleasant. I mean extremely unpleasant. The urgency to urinate, the pain and stinging when you do go, and the trickle that comes out, all of it is just unpleasant. Mix up some baking soda in warm water and pound it down (I say pound because you really don’t want to sip on this-trust me) and you’re relieved for quite some time.

As I was doing this post I learned baking soda is also used as an antacid. Ah the endless possibilities.
