Baking soda baths

Does anyone do baking soda baths? I know it's one of the first things doctors prescribe, but I've heard it can mess with the ph balance.

I did it its good for relief wont cure anything tho

Thanks Alana! I just need something that's mild and soothing. I wanted to try oatmeal baths but I can't find gluten free colloidal oatmeal

Why would that matter? You aren't ingesting it I think gluten only matters when it passes thru your digestive issue... but you may wanna double check

For some people it doesn't matter, but I tend to get rashes if I use anything with gluten in it.

I used to add salt to my bath and that helped a bit but like Alana said it isn't likely to cure anything unless the problem is that you are reacting to bubble bath soaps etc. A tiny amount of essential oils helps some people, I'm not sure if you can have oats but they can be tied into a piece of material and hung under the tap so the water washes over them to add oats to the bath. You could also add baby oil directly to the water but careful you don't slip!

I completely forgot about Aqueous Cream, put a big glob in and swirl it round and it's very soothing, I used to do this and also used it to shave my legs etc.

I find salt baths, just normal sea very soothing.

Thanks ladies! I used to take salt baths all the time. So relaxing! I've never heard of aqueous cream... Ill have to look into it

Hi,
Aqueous cream is really helpful I use it as an alternative to an kind of soap to wash down there, the only thing I have found that some brands sting when I use them, the only one I've been able to use is the boots own brand which comes in a large tub!

Hope this helps
