Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, naturally relieves problems associated with too much stomach acid, such as sour stomach, heartburn and indigestion. Additionally, it alkalizes bodily fluids, including the blood and urine. Using baking soda to keep your body slightly alkaline discourages the growth of acid-loving bacteria. Baking soda comes over-the-counter as a non-prescription powder, tablet, solution or granule that is effective when dissolved in water.
Fill a glass with 12 to 16 ounces of bottled or tap water. The temperature of the water is optional.
Add 1/4 to 1/3 tsp. of baking soda to the water. Stir the mixture with a spoon until the baking soda dissolves completely.
Drink the mixture. Repeat this procedure twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
