Preparedness Tip

When I was young and had an upset stomach, my mom would often mix a glass of water with a bit of baking soda. It was a much dreaded concoction, but it always seemed to make me feel better. Over the years, I've learned that soda has a myriad of potential uses. One submitted by our ever-faithful preparedness committee is as a substitute for toothpaste. Just wet your toothbrush and add a small amount of baking soda. Rinse mouth well after brushing. I wonder if you brushed your teeth with baking soda while you had an upset stomach--would it kill two home remedy birds with one stone? Maybe?
