I've heard of people nebulizing baking soda before, which probably yields really good results. However I don't have a nebulizer, however I do have a diffuser that you put essential oils in and it blows them out into the air.
I got the idea that this might work with baking soda, so I took about 1-2 tbsps of baking soda and mixed it into a glass of water. I filled up my diffuser with it and turned it on. Tbh, I wasn't expecting it to do much, just thought it would be a cool experiment.
However after about 10 minutes, I noticed I was breathing much more deeper, and I was really warm, basically killed any adrenaline I had at the time. My sleeping was really good last night too. Either this was one hell of a placebo, or it was actually making noticeable differences in my CO2 saturation.
Some things to keep in mind, I have my diffuser in the bedroom, which is kind of a small room. So it wouldn't take much time for the diffuser to dispense the bicarbonate into the air. If you're in a bigger more opened room, you may need 2-3 diffusers to yield similar results.
All in all, I think I like it better then bathing in baking soda. It's more convenient, less time consuming, not to mention I believe slightly more effective. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this yet.
