there are seven unexpected benefits from using baking soda. Now most of you probably have baking soda

in your refrigerator to help decrease odors and you may also know that it's good for removing stains

and your carpet and to use as a kitchen cleaner. But there's some other really interesting benefits

that you probably didn't hear about. Now what is baking soda? It is sodium by carbonate, about 4

million years ago. In the area of Wyoming, there was a salty lake that dried up to form what is

called trona deposits. And these deposits are basically sodium carbonate. So that's what they

make sodium by carbonate from the sodium carbonate. So most of the baking soda sold in the world

comes from this one place in Wyoming. So let's talk about number one. You can use it as a teeth

whitener because it does whiten your teeth. But it can also be used as a mouthwash to help reduce

bacteria in your mouth, especially the ones that cause bad breath. Now what's fascinating about

this is that these microbes exist in a certain pH and they cannot exist in different pHs.

And so when you alkalize the mouth, you make an environment very difficult for certain acid bacteria

to grow, as well as the bacteria that make tartar and placking. And so baking soda is really good

to reduce placking in your teeth. And it can be used as a mild abrasive to help clean the teeth as well.

So you just take a tablespoon of baking soda and a tablespoon of water, mix it up and brush your teeth.

All right, that's number one. All right, number two, you can use it as a natural deodorant.

Normally sweat does not have any odor. It's the bacteria that gives you the odor. And like I just

said, number one, baking soda being alkaline changes the pH and can create an environment where these

microbes cannot exist. So you basically take four tablespoons of baking soda and four tablespoons

of either olive oil or coconut oil, mix it up and use it as a natural deodorant.

Now I would also add an essential oil to give it a certain aroma. You can use lemon. You can use

cinnamon. You can even use lavender or even sandalwood. You can just add a couple drops and then
