Pools, Hottubs and Baking Soda Baths
Posted , 9 users are following.
I know with LS we have to watch everything we do and avoid a lot of things.
So is it okay to go into a swimming pool? Will it cause a flare-up because of the Chlorine? Would it be okay if you make sure you immediately shower after going in the pool.
How about Hot Tubs? Can one ever go in again or are they to be avoided at all costs.
Most people say to put in 1/3 cup of Baking Soda in a bath which is what I have been doing. What happens if you put in more than 1/3 cup.
Is it okay to have more than one baking soda bath a day?

I haven't gone to Hot Tubs and swimming pools since my LS diagnoses. Just scared of the bacteria in public places. I have done some swimming in a mountain lake, under parts covered with Purol. (compares a little with Vaseline, but milder and has healing items in it) And then not too long a swim either. Just so I could cool off in Summer.

Try and alternate and use salt in your bath - also very healing and you don't have to be so precise with measurements. Two baths a day could be damaging overall to the natural oils in your skin. I love in a really hot climate and I do have a second shower but always have a spritz bottle of either bi carb/or salt after.
Good luck.
