Mix one teaspoon full of sodium bicarbonate powder into the cup full of water. Stir to dissolve the powder completely. The solution is colourless. This solution will be used to clean your nasal cavities.

Getting the right concentration is by trial and error. Too much powder will give a hyperconcentrated sting, while too little power will give a hypoconcentrated sting, similar to the swimming pool experience.

Suck up the solution using the syringe. Tilt your head to one side over the sink, until the top of your head is pointing directly at a wall. Insert the syringe (without a needle of course), into your upper nostril. Gently pump the solution into your nose. After that, straighten your head to let the solution flow out into the sink.

Repeat for the other side, and for a few times.

When you have almost finished the sodium bicarbonate solution, gargle with the remaining solution. Sodium bicarbonate helps to dry up the mucus due to its high concentration.

Love your blog!
Another use for baking soda silver polisher: warm water, baking soda, a bit of salt and aluminum foil. Works like magic to bring the shine back to any silver. The silver object does have to be in direct contact with the aluminum foil to work best.

Jude, I have yet to make my own laundry detergent. I use locally made, fragrance free, condensed liquid soap made out of simple ingredients. But it is one I have meaning to make for a long time! Owlfan, I've done that as well - thanks for the addition. Tree, It seems some people with hard water are ok with it and others are absolutely not. I wonder if it's something besides the hard water - very strange. Does liquid soap work, or do you need detergent? Milkweed, you're welcome. Amazing what baking soda can do! Stephanie, : ) have fun with your jewelry! Going Green Mama, ha - of course! Beany, good to hear - thanks for your comment. Green Bean, so true - it wasn't due to convenience, because it's more convenient to just use baking soda than to have 5 different cleaners that do the same thing. Marketing, I guess, makes us think we need all 5.... Rob, I'm a huge fan of baking soda as deodorant. Works much better than store-bought for me. Interesting about the towels - I'll have to try that. Marisa, I know others here do brush regularly with baking soda. I didn't realize it was too abrasive. film pa nett, thanks for reading.

Great tips! Always discover new baking soda uses.

Although it’s good to use baking soda to brush your teeth, you don’t want to do this consistently as it’s abrassive to the enamel of your teeth.

Lifehacker just had something – Recharge your towels.

I haven’t tried it yet, but do believe it would work well.

I use plain baking soda for deoderant only, and I’m pleased to report it works EXCELLENT! It withstands stressful days, bike rides, and intense yoga classes. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

The packaging is completely recyclable as well, bonus!
