Baking Soda - more than just a kitchen-aid * To Fight bad breath sprinkle a little baking soda on toothbrush bristles. * Dissolve 1 cup of baking soda in a lukewarm bath and soak for 30 minutes to reduce the pain of sunburn. * Can be used in cool bath water to soothe skin irritations and lessen itching associated with prickly heat, bee stings, and other minor skin irritations. A paste (made with just enough water to get the desired sticky consistency) placed on an insect bite or sting and allowed to dry will draw out and neutralize poisons. * People with skin allergies who tend to react to commercial laundry detergents might find washing clothing and bedding in baking soda is less irritating. * Take 1 tsp in a glass of water twice a day if you suffer from tobacco dependence. Caution: Do not apply directly to open skin.
