Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a versatile compound with a wide range of applications across various fields. Medically, it is used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux while also helping to balance body pH levels, especially for those with kidney disease. In household cleaning, it serves as a natural deodorizer, stain remover, and scouring agent, effectively cleaning surfaces and unclogging drains when combined with vinegar.
