APPLICATIONS OF SODIUM BICARBONATE
Aquarium Use:
Increase KH and pH without increasing GH though it does add sodium
to the water.
It is often used in making CO2 with yeast mixes as it makes the
mixture last longer due to the high initial pH value.
It prevents pH Shock disease in areas of soft tap water.
It can be used to make tank water more alkaline as it will buffer
water up to a pH of 8.2.
One teaspoon (~5 grams) of sodium bicarbonate per **9.3 Litres (*0
US G.) of water will increase KH by about 1 degree.
For the Home:
Cleaning agent - fridges, garbage disposals, etc.
Water softener use in washing machines and for washing dishes
Deodorizing - shoes, footwear cupboards, carpet refresher
Fire extinguisher forms a smothering soapy foam
Polishing - removes dirt without damaging high hardness materials
such as stainless steel or iron
Mixed with sugar - acts as an effective pesticide for roaches and
silverfish
For Care of the Body:
Use as a teeth whitener - brush teeth with a paste of bicarb soda
and water
Sodium bicarbonate ear drops
Stomach reliever - spoonful in cool glass of water
Eczema reliever - half-cup in hot bath from *5 to *0 minutes
Also good for the throat, painful gums, insect bites, and warts
Use in cosmetics and personal care products
For Emergencies:
Sodium bicarbonate can neutralize or reduce acids in the blood, or
urine.
It may be used in emergency medical situations (heart attacks,
serious kidney or lung problems) to correct the normal acid-base
balance in the blood or as an aid in treating overdoses with
certain types of medications.
