Notes
Only consume baking soda drinks 1–2 times per week to avoid overuse.
Do not exceed ½ teaspoon of baking soda per serving.
Always fully dissolve baking soda in water before consuming.
People with kidney issues, high blood pressure, or on medication should consult a doctor before use.
In baking, baking soda acts as a natural leavening agent, helping dough rise and improving texture.
Baking soda should only be used on hair once per week to prevent dryness.
