I have taken baking soda and water for years if and when I get heartburn.
1/2 tsp in half a glass of water, drink slowly and burp away.
keep swishing it around in the glass.
FIL used to brush his teeth with it and also used it as deodorant.
We used baking soda to brush our teeth when I was young.
Remember 1st time using tooth paste, think it was Colgate, tasted like candy after the baking soda.
“I have taken baking soda and water for years if and when I get heartburn.”
My husband took baking soda for years for heartburn. After his 1st open heart surgery and they brought him coffee he said that was the nastiest tasting stuff he had ever drank and never drank coffee again. He never needed backing soda after that. Coffee is very acidic.
