Occasional heartburn relief (½ tsp in water)—but not for daily use.

Urinary tract alkalization (under doctor supervision).

Topical soothing for insect bites or mild skin irritation.

🚫 Do NOT consume baking soda daily—it’s high in sodium (629mg per ½ tsp) and can cause:

Electrolyte imbalances

High blood pressure

Kidney strain

Worsened acid reflux long-term

🌿 Safer, Science-Backed Wellness Tips

If you’re seeking natural support for digestion or metabolism:

Hydrate with lemon water (skip the baking soda)

Eat fiber-rich foods (veggies, legumes, whole grains)

Move daily—even a 20-minute walk boosts metabolism

Prioritize sleep—poor sleep disrupts hunger hormones
