How Baking Soda Works
Antifungal Properties: Baking soda alters the pH balance, creating an environment where fungus struggles to survive. Its drying effect helps eliminate the moisture fungus thrives on.
Deodorizing Effect: Say goodbye to foul odors. Baking soda helps neutralize smells, making it perfect for treating toenail fungus that causes unpleasant odors.
Exfoliating Benefits: By gently exfoliating dead skin, baking soda keeps the affected area clean and healthy.
