baking soda treatments

Has anyone experienced relief of symptoms with baking soda- either in the bathtub or directly applied to the vulva area? What symptoms is this good for?
Thanks,
Nancy

I use baking soda in the bathtub - I sprinkle some in while the water is running. It is very soothing and helps keep things from feeling irritated.

I haven't tried that. I've used it in water to drink. I'm very sensitive to things like that; I can only tolerate 1/2 tsp in water to drink, or one Tums 1000 mg. I am very prone to diarrhea. It does help with bladder burning quite a bit, though.

I've done what others have mentioned and just drink it in some water for a quick fix. I usually only go with a 1/4 of a teaspoon in a pint and down it.
