I just started using Baking Soda as a shampoo about 2 weeks ago after a friend told me that he had. This guy has long locks of hair and it didn’t look bad at all, so I thought, “why not”. It has been working great. I have been using Apple Cider Vinegar as a cleanser. My hair feels really really good and I feel good knowing that there are only a few chemicals going into my hair. Only drawback so far is that Abby doesn’t like the smell of the cider vinegar.

GOOD did an article showcasing seven particular uses of Baking Soda. We used to use it as an antacid growing up:

Soothe Your Stomach Acid stomach, heartburn, gas, and other tummy issues are quickly relieved by baking soda because its slight alkalinity can neutralize the acid causing the problem. Just mix a teaspoon into a glass of warm water and drink it down. We swear by this trick.
