Product Information
A true household essential, bicarbonate of soda has a multitude of potential uses and applications. This 25kg bag of 100% BP/food grade powder can be used when baking, for example, or cleaning, or for freshening shoes.
You can use it to make your own toothpaste or deodorant, or even as a non-toxic weedkiller. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a staple in many homes for baking and cleaning purposes - but there's a good chance you're not taking full advantage of all that baking soda has to offer. For instance, did you know there's a whole gamut of medicinal uses for baking soda, such as safely removing splinters from your fingers, or just brushing your teeth? It rates right up there with hydrogen peroxide as one of the most inexpensive and safe health tools around.
In its natural form, baking soda is known as nahcolite, which is part of the natural mineral natron. Natron, which contains large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, has been used since ancient times. For instance, the Egyptians used natron as a soap for cleansing purposes. Later, anecdotal reports throughout history suggest that many civilisations used forms of baking soda when making bread and other foods that required rising.
Baking soda was popularised by Arm & Hammer more than 150 years ago, and while many are aware of its versatile qualities for cooking and household use, few people realise that baking soda also has potent medicinal properties.
