Has anyone else found that salt water helps their vulvodynia pain?  I live near the beach and have taken to swimming daily in the salt water.  It really seems to relieve the burning sensation from the bladder/vulvodynia.

I wasn't sure if it was a good idea cause it seems like some people react to salt on thier food or diet but I took a salt water bath recently and not only did I find it refreshing to my body/mind- the salt water has a kind of recharging effect to the energy field but I found it helped me too. I just use the shower filter to fill up my tub- they make bath balls too and then I don't stay too long in the tub so I'm not steeping in my toxic stuff. I think the ocean would actually be better and I'm heading there soon!

Someone recently told me to try Epsom salt baths, but no longer than 10-15 minutes.  Has anyone asked Matia about this or tried it?  Also, I am moving near the ocean next week and everyone keeps telling me how healing it will be!  I can't wait to find out.

I have done epson salt baths mostly use it when i have muscle pain or an injury. I am sure the time frame is due to it's ability to draw out toxins. It brings down inflamation . I only use it in cases of a flair or injury. I would ask Matia because things like this seem to be different for everyone.
