- Soothe Sore Throat: Gargle with ½ tsp in warm water to calm irritation.
- Boost Workout Recovery: Small amounts in water may reduce lactic acid buildup (consult a doctor first).
Beauty & Skincare
- Gentle Exfoliant: Mix with water into a paste to remove dead skin cells.
- Natural Deodorant: Apply a small amount underarms to neutralize odor.
- Whiten Teeth: Occasionally mix with toothpaste for brighter teeth (avoid daily use).

- Foot Soak: Add 3 tbsp to warm water to refresh tired, smelly feet.

💡 Tips:

- Baking soda is great for cleaning, personal care, and minor health hacks—but it’s not a substitute for medical treatment.
