Bicarb...
Mix two tablespoons of VCO and two tablespoons of baking soda until it forms a paste-like consistency to get the purest toothpaste for cleanest teeth without any additive. You need to do that only with baking soda that is consumable, this is not.<br /><br />Great container than the cardboard box since I can place it right in my shower. Sodium bicarbonate is a mild alkaline compound that can help neutralize the PH balance of skin. This 'buffering effect' may help quell the inflammation that occurs at the skin's surface, easing soreness. Used topically, baking soda takes the sting out of sunburn and minimizes the itch and discomfort caused by a variety of skin conditions (including eczema, prickly heat, and poison ivy). To get relief, place a cup of baking soda under a running bath tap so it dissolves completely, and then soak in the water for about 30 minutes. For my daily use I just make a paste for rubbing on the skin just like any lotion. I even mix in a container with water and apply with a soft towel in the shower. For cleaning equal mix of Borax and baking soda bring happiness to any dishwasher and washing machine for clean smelling clothes with no perfume.<br /><br />I use others for internal use including brushing, you need to do your own research. Any food ingredient should be contained and handled properly and accordingly and baking soda needs to be aluminum free for internal use. This is not a food container. Variously called sodium bicarbonate, baking soda, or simply 'bicarb', it's good to have a small tub of this in your travel bag. On holiday, exposure to chemicals such as the chlorine in the swimming pool can irritate the area where urine leaves the body (the urethra) and can trigger cystitis in women. Essentially, this is inflammation of the bladder and can lead to a burning sensation when you pass urine. There are other factors that can make it a common holiday ailment: heat and alcohol can dehydrate the body, making the bladder more prone to inflammation; `holding on' when it's inconvenient to go to the toilet, or facilities are unavailable, can also contribute. Bicarb is alkaline, so drinking half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda stirred into a glass of water several times a day helps as it makes urine less acidic and less likely to cause stinging. It won't reduce the inflammation in the bladder but it will reduce the pain while the inflammation goes down. For any medical issues seek medical advice.<br /><br />For no shampoo and conditioner to cleanse my hair I use no shampoo mix at all, since I make my own shampoo and conditioner. For shampoo I mix water+baking soda, half and half, cold boiled water AND water+organic apple cider, half and half, cold boiled water for conditioner. I do not mix in advance but mix just before jumping in shower. Need to keep it out of eyes completely. It takes few uses for hair to get used to it but the results are amazing. Now that process takes time and effort. For less effort, I mix 2 part organic castor oil, 2 part organic apple cider vinegar and 6 part shampoo. No conditioner, no more of anything other than the mix and sometimes I even add some EVOO or Wheat Germ Oil which is the highest in vitamin E. The effects are so immediate that after applying the mix I feel the effects on my hair immediately in the shower. I insure to mix a little at a time and always rinse hair with coldest water possible since it adds volume unlike warm water which destroys volume, but shampoo it with warm water. Tweak the mix according to the type, color and length of the hair but always insure to keep the mix away from eyes and scrub the mix on the scalp for the benefits of castor, apple cider on scalp and removal of any residue on hair. I do not shampoo my hair every single day since it damages hair and the natural oil of the hair. Ricinoleic acid in castor oil helps to protect hair and stimulates circulation of nutrient rich blood to scalp. Dry scalp can lead to dandruff but castor oils omega-9 fatty acids can help. Can apply the oil on the whole scalp for few minutes or before washing it off completely with apple cider vinegar.
