Elementz Nahcolite

Nahcolite – known chemically as NaHCO3 – is commercially called sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. This water-soluble mineral has been used for a myriad of purposes for thousands of years. Elementz Nahcolite is derived through solution mining, a method where water is pumped into subterranean salt deposits to dissolve salts which are then extracted from the drying water. This way ensures the highest concentration and purity of Nahcolite. 

This hardest working mineral in the elemental table can be used in homes, baths, kitchens, toilets and in personal care. Because Elementz Nahcolite is all-natural and food-grade, it is possibly the greatest helpmate you can find around the home. 

Using Elementz Nahcolite for personal care:

• One cup of Nahcolite neutralises chemicals and chlorine in bath water.

• A combination of one to two cups of Nahcolite with Elementz Magnesium Flakes and Elementz Fuller’s Earth in a bath can help with mineral absorption.

• Two to four cups of Nahcolite in a bath helps detoxification and alkalinisation.

• A pinch of Nahcolite on the underarms can be a substitute for deodorant in a hurry. 

• A 50/50 sodium bicarbonate and water mix formed into a paste is an exfoliator for blackheads. 

• Nahcolite makes a great weekly teeth cleanser and polisher. Simply dip a toothbrush into Nahcolite powder and brush normally. Do note that this is too strong for daily use. 

• A heaped teaspoon of Nahcolite stirred into a glass of warm water, works as a mouth wash and gargle. 

• Oily hair benefits from a clarifying rinse of one tablespoon of Nahcolite with one cup of water, followed by an acidic rinse made of l-ascorbic acid and water.

• Apply a thick paste made of Nahcolite and water to insect bites and stings.

• Freshen up musty towels by adding 1/2 cup of Nahcolite to the rinse cycle of your machine wash.

• Remove odours from shoes by sprinkling Nahcolite into them between wearing. Shake out before use. 

• Shine sinks and spot clean with a sprinkle of Nahcolite and a wet sponge or brush.
