I was desperate and I search the Web found this post, so I tried it and omg it worked. Although there is estrogen medicine that works, but I have no insurance right now, so this gives a great amout of relief. I used this method with some body cooling towelettes, (cleaned my area, then wiped it down with towelettes, then rubbed the Bee wax soothing chapstick, they did not have peppermint, so I got the one with eucalyptus and menthol, I feel alot better...Whew sometimes old remedies are the best, thanks!!

You are AMAZING!! This really works. I have been in a flare that has been absolutely miserable for two weeks now! This morning I tried making a paste with baby oatmeal bath, left it on for 15 minutes, got a shower, and when I got out I air dried and then used Beeswax with Vitamin E and Peppermint. You're right... It does burn for a little bit, but the relief is unbelievable! This Thanksgiving I am thankful for you, your post and peppermint beeswax lip balm :)

I have struggled with vulvodynia for five years now and through my desperation I think I have finally found something that works. I have tried everything imaginabled from prescriptions to remedies on this site and it is always the same story, it works and then one day it flares back up and I lose all hope in a miracle cure. Recently baking soda was that cure for me, when it didn't work anymore I was in so much pain. I was desperate! I used an ice pack to try to get the swelling to go down when I woke up in the middle of the night the ice pack had busted open and I had tearing, sores, and swelling. As crazy as it sounds I had a natural beeswax chap stick that was peppermint flavored sitting beside me and I thought, that will give me a cooling sensation and I wont have to worry about a bag of ice busting... Hmm why not? It burned pretty intensely for about a minute but it was a cool burn so it didn't bother me.

I was able to get some sleep and when I woke up all of the tearing, sores, and swelling were GONE! I kid you not! I was so excited nothing I've tried worked that quickly before. I don't really know why it worked but I have continuously applied it twice a day. Haven't had a flare up in over a month since doing this. I don't think it really "cured" anything, I worry if I stop it I could have another flare up. It did however stop the pain and keep it away since I've been using it. I've also been going to the chiropractor, stopped my birth control, and am taking herbal adrenal support remedies to help balance out my hormones. I've been doing that for about 6 months now and I feel it has helped tremedously but has not cured me yet. It does seem to slow down the frequency of flares I do have so I feel I am on the right track but for immediate pain relief the chap stick 100% took care of the issue. I hope this helps someone!
