Is it okay to for females to take epson salt baths? does it cause unpleasant odor for females?

Espon salt baths: I recommend you only use them when needed (rash, poison ivy, etc.) and not routinely. The pH of the bath can cause an imbalance in the normal vaginal flora (mix of bacteria, yeast). When this occurs a certain type of bacteria can become dominant and this causes the odor. If that occurs, add yogurt daily and consider seeing your physician for treatment of the troublemaking bacteria.
