The single best thing you can do for your piercing is to keep a regular regimen of salt water soaks. These flush out the piercing, help to draw out discharge, stimulate blood circulation, and soothe irritations. We strongly suggest soaking your piercing at least twice a day—more often if healing is difficult. Non-iodized sea salt is the preferred type of salt because it does not include extra additives or preservatives often present in other types of salt. Ingredients: sea salt, yellow prussiate of soda (anti-caking agent)
