As we pass the age of 60, the body tends to become more acidic, and microcirculation in the extremities slows down. Baking soda, known for its ability to balance pH, can be used not only in cooking but also as a therapeutic agent to improve vasodilation and reduce nervous tension that affects intimacy.
Here’s how to use this inexpensive resource to revitalize your circulatory system naturally.
1. The “Alkaline” Soak Bath for Circulation
The most effective way to benefit from baking soda after 60 is not by ingesting it, but by applying it topically. The skin is the body’s largest organ and can absorb minerals that help relax blood vessels.
How to prepare it: Add half a cup of baking soda to a tub of warm (not hot) water. The effect: Baking soda helps neutralize acidic toxins on the skin’s surface and promotes the release of carbon dioxide in superficial tissues. This process causes natural vasodilation, improving blood flow to the hands, feet, and pelvic area.
Ideal time: 15 to 20 minutes before bed. This prepares the body for a state of deep relaxation, essential for intimate physical response.
2. Exfoliation for Nerve Sensitivity
With age, cell renewal slows down, and sensitivity in peripheral areas decreases due to poor circulation.
The technique: Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with a little coconut or olive oil to form a paste. Gently massage the legs and lower back.
Why it works: The massage activates nerve endings, while the baking soda improves local oxygenation. Better oxygenation in the lower back is directly related to improved nerve communication to the reproductive organs. 3. pH Balance and Male/Feminine Energy
A body with excess acidity (caused by stress, sugar, and lack of sleep) tends to be inflamed. Inflammation is the number one enemy of circulation.
Responsible Internal Use: While some doctors suggest a small pinch of bicarbonate of soda in a glass of water to alkalize, after age 60 this should be done with caution to avoid altering blood pressure.
Indirect Benefit: A more alkaline system reduces muscle fatigue and improves physical stamina, key factors for maintaining an active and satisfying sex life at any age.
Important Precautions for Those Over 60
Blood Pressure: Bicarbonate contains sodium. If you suffer from severe hypertension, always opt for foot baths or soaks instead of ingesting it.
Water Temperature: Never use excessively hot water, as this can cause dizziness in older adults. The water should be at a comfortable body temperature. Conclusion: Small Changes, Big Results
Baking soda acts as a “softener” for the vascular system and a balancer for the skin. By incorporating alkaline baths into your weekly routine, you’ll not only be improving the health of your arteries, but you’ll also be creating the relaxing physical environment necessary to enjoy fulfilling and healthy intimacy.
Remember that vitality after 60 depends on keeping the body free of tension and ensuring unobstructed blood flow.
