Is soaking in Epsom Salt bad for the genitals?
I don’t see how it could be bad. Epsom salts is just magnesium sulfate and is used for all sorts of bath and soaking applications. I would give it a try. From the Wikipedia entry: Magnesium sulfate is used as in bath salts, particularly in flotation therapy where high concentrations raise the bath water’s specific gravity, effectively making the body more buoyant.Traditionally, it is also used to prepare foot baths, intended to soothe sore feet. The reason for the inclusion of the salt is partially cosmetic: the increase in ionic strength prevents some of the temporary skin wrinkling (“pruning”) which is caused by prolonged immersion of extremities in pure water. However, magnesium sulfate can also be absorbed into the skin, reducing inflammation. It is also used in many bottled water ingredients.
