In a modern world where people are looking for health solutions in expensive supplements, natural health expert **Barbara O’Neill** asserts: **the key to total health may be lying in your kitchen cupboard** – it’s **baking soda**.

With over 20 years of experience in the field of natural health care, Barbara believes that **baking soda is one of the most “underrated” ingredients in natural medicine**, but when used correctly, it can bring many surprising positive effects to the body.

1. Balance pH – Natural Anti-Inflammatory**

One of the most prominent benefits of baking soda according to Barbara O’Neill is **its ability to neutralize acid in the body**, helping to balance pH and **reduce the risk of chronic inflammation** – the root cause of many modern diseases such as diabetes, arthritis and cancer.

> “When the internal environment of the body is too acidic, you feel tired, get sick easily, and age quickly. Just a small amount of baking soda every day can help regulate that,” Barbara shares.

2. Aids Digestion and Reduces Heartburn**

One of the popular but little-known uses is that **baking soda helps reduce symptoms of bloating, flatulence, and heartburn**, especially after meals.

– Just 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda mixed with warm water, drink 30 minutes after eating.

– This method helps **neutralize excess acid in the stomach**, supporting the digestive system to work more gently.

3. Cleanses the Liver and Excretory System**

Barbara O’Neill emphasizes that baking soda can also act as a **gentle liver detoxifier**, supporting the body’s natural excretory system.

When combined with fresh lemon juice, this mixture can help:
– Detoxify the liver
– Improve kidney function
– Cleanse the urinary tract and help prevent kidney stones
4. Beautify the Skin and Reduce Skin Inflammation**

Not only good for the inside, baking soda is also known as an ingredient that:
– Naturally cleanses the face
– Exfoliates
– Reduces inflammation caused by acne and irritation
– Soothes insect bites or skin allergies

Simply mix baking soda with a little water to form a thick mixture, apply to the skin that needs soothing for a few minutes before rinsing.

5. Deodorize the body – Safe and Effective

Barbara warns that **many deodorants today contain aluminum and harmful chemicals**, and baking soda is **a natural, benign and extremely effective alternative**.

Just sprinkle a little baking soda under your arms after showering – you will feel your body odor is clearly controlled without the need for harsh chemicals.
Notes When Using Baking Soda **

Despite the many benefits, Barbara also recommends:
– **Do not exceed the recommended dosage** (maximum 1/2 teaspoon/day if taken orally)
– Do not use continuously for a long time without instructions
– People with kidney problems or taking medication should consult a doctor
