If you thought baking soda was only to top indigestion, as a raising agent in baked goods, or as a household cleaner, you have a so much to learn! Baking soda is a terrific home remedy that can do everything from relieving the sting of bugs to being a super detox agent. Baking soda rates right up there with hydrogen peroxide as one of the safest, most effective, and most inexpensive health tools around.

1. Delightful Detox Bath
Adding a cup of baking soda and a cup of apple cider vinegar to your bath results in a delightful spa-like experience that will soak away aches and pains while detoxing the body at the same time. A nice side note here is that it will also clean the tub and drain when you are done.
