An Experiment with Borax
Posted , 187 users are following.
So, I've been in Vietnam now for just over a month. Haven't had any itching, but the white plaque has expanded and looked like a bit more fusing had occured. Panic set in and of course I was trying not to. However, now that we're here, my husband has been able to start doing more research to help me. And he came across some stuff about borax. So we started an experiment 6 days ago. Not using any steroids, but instead each morning and night he's applying to one side a saturated borax solution and the other side a saturated baking soda solution (as we'd read that some people found baking soda helpful). We've been taking photos in order to compare as we progress. As mentioned, we are on day 6 and there is honestly some change! My clitoris which was quite white has returned to pink. And while the whole area still has some white, the pink is really starting to move in more. The biggest changes are on the side with the borax, with some change on the side with the baking soda (but since some of the borax can get rubbed off on that baking soda side we can't say for certain that the baking soda is having a major effect). We are feeling optimistic about this and I will keep everyone posted. During the day I do continue to add vitamin E oil to keep moisturized.

Joann - is sodium bicarbonate the same as borax? I thought they were different products.

Im. Not sure...but this is recommend to me and its works wonderful...for I was so beside myself with this disease..and you have to be careful with regular borax...this works but not. harmful to you..You can use 2X day if u want ...worked for me an d I was in a bad way...but you can buy regular borax but make sure you can use it for LC and not harmful to you...

I also use the Prescribed for Life Borax from Amazon and it's actually sodium borate and not sodium bicarbonate. It works for me and it's a pure product, although others buy the borax from the grocery store.

Hi Joann,
They are 2 different things. Some people use one, some the other and some both at the same time! Many women out there are experiencing unfusing of their labia in addition to relief from other symptoms.

Hi Julie, i guess you are talking about Borax...There is (both can be bought on Amazon) "Precribed for Life" Borax.. and PFL...Sodium Bicorbonate ...used both and both worked fine. Sitz bath vs bathtub ..both are fine... which is better for you. With a sitz bath use 1-2 tablespoons of borax in hot water...will melt immediately..for tub use 1/3 cup of borax and soak ...in each... for about 20 minutes..do this until you are healed...hope this helps your question to me.
Wishing you health and Merry Christmas...Borax or Sodium Bicarbonate will experience unfusing in addition to relief from other symtoms. Never had fusing myself, but suffered terribly to the point of crying. There is no known cure but hope some day they will have a cure for this disease. Hope I answered your question.
