9 Surprising Uses of Baking Soda


It reduces swelling in your legs

Swollen legs are usually caused by too much salt in the body which causes water retention. They can also be caused by high heels or by standing for a long period of time. Regardless of the cause, when you get home after a long day with your legs all swollen up, try soaking your feet into a mixture of baking soda and boiling water. If you don’t see any improvements after 10 minutes, you can soak some socks in the mixture. Put the soaks on, wrap your feet with plastic foil and leave them on overnight.
