Baking Soda for Burns



Erica was telling us how she burned her finger on an iron this weekend. Her friend told her to quickly grab some baking soda and water to soak it in. She said it worked like a charm because about 20 min later, she forgot she even got burned. I did some more research for ya'll and found out more about the benefits of baking soda:
