However, it is highly versatile and has countless uses, so you probably didn’t know the following seven:

Add a teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water and drink it to immediately soothe discomfort and any stomach issue.
Natural shampoo
Add a bit of it to your shampoo to cleanse your skin and eliminate the grease.
