7 Unexpected Health Benefits of Baking Soda

1. It can be used to help with mouth ulcers

Baking soda is known to restore the pH balance and reduce inflammation that can lead to mouth ulcers. Mix baking soda and water to make a paste. After it dries, put it on the ulcers and rinse it off with water. This should be done three times a day. You can also mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 cup of water, swirl the mixture in your mouth for 15 to 30 seconds, and then spit it out. Every few hours, do it again.
