Can Treat Calluses
Calluses are hard, rough patches of skin caused by pressure or friction over an extended period of time. Frequent walking, gardening or sports are activities that typically cause calluses. Calluses can be painful and uncomfortable when pressure is applied, although they are not always serious. Curious studies have found that soaking calluses in a baking soda bath can help soften calluses, remove scales and reduce discomfort.

May Slow the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease
People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience a gradual decline in the function of their kidneys. The kidneys are very important because they remove waste and water from the blood. At the same time, they help balance potassium, sodium and calcium. According to studies, sodium bicarbonate may help slow the progression of chronic kidney failure. Sodium bicarbonate supplements decreased the likelihood of developing kidney failure rapidly in 134 adults with CKD.
