Ratio of borax to water

Posted , 12 users are following.

Hello to all my saviors

I need to know the ratio between boric acid and water how much of each do I put in. I finally bit the bullet and bought some good spray bottles and some boric acid but I don't know how much of each I put in. Could someone please help me. It's just Jesus driving me crazy. Not only has it kept me isolated from friends and family it just kept me out of work and the pain is quite unbearable. My doctor has finally agreed to give me something for the pain. Unfortunately it is an opioid. But there is nothing else that match it enough for me to get through the day. I am taking a very small dosage. And not taking it if I don't have to. So. I am working on various appointments and whatnot but I do need to know the ratio between water and boric acid thank you so much

      DO NOT USE BORAX IN A SITZ BATH! It is only for cleaning. That would be a horrible painful mistake.

    Yikes Marilyn... Don't use boric acid honey! Boric acid is totally different than borax.

    Borax is a natural mineral.

    Here in the states we buy borax...

    It's on the laundry detergent aisle. Here's my personal recipes hope they help smile

    My Borax Recipe~

    I have a spray bottle which I fill with warm water and then add a nice pinch of borax, (if you put the borax in the bottle and it completely dissolves add a pinch more until there is a residual left on the bottom that's how you know you have made a saturated solution which is what you want) I then add about 7 drops of lavender oil.

    Baking Soda Recipe~

    I also mix another spray bottle with a pinch or two of baking soda and 3 or 4 drops of tea tree oil.

    If you do a bath mix about 1/3 of a cup of borax in a tub of water and soak for a good 15 to 20 minutes.

    I use the borax spray mix a couple times a day especially after going to the toilet as it seems to help the most but I do alternate from time to time between the two but by all means do which ever works best for you!!!

    Best Regards...

    Hi guys. I am new to this group and so glad to know I am not alone. I was diagnosed in 2012 and have only been using dermovate cream. I also have an aqueous emolliant cream for washing.

    I seem to go through times where its all ok but in the last 2 years have had really bad flare ups. The dermovate doesnt seem to do anything when this happens. I had a biopsy last April and was terrifiec it would show cancer. Thankfully it didnt. It cleared up again soon after.

    It has returned with vengance and I can hardly sit down without cringing.

    I have red and bleeding patches. I am finding going for a pee excrutiating and end up trying to avoid it until I am desperate. I dont have a bath to soak in. I hadnt heard if the Borax solution. How does that help? Do I need to start carrying a spray bottle with me?

    I'm desperate for your support. Its so difficult to talk about with anyone.

    Makes me feel like just lying down in a heap legs clamped together so I cant scratch. 😣

    DO NOT USE BORAX IN A SITZ BATH! It is only for cleaning. It is not to be used on the skin. Use Boric acid or soda or vinegar. Look it up.

    OMG Sharii, could you stop shouting about borax for cleaning. I did the borax protocol and while my LS didn't change, my high cholestrol disappeared and my neck pain is almost gone.

    I take Boron tablets to get the boron mineral which is what comes from Borax.

    Now 3 weeks ago I did a boric acid suppository for what I thought was thrush as I have some mouth issues and I thought it was thrush. I am back to square one again with the mother of all flare ups.

    Do not use boric acid.

    Borax is a mineral that is taken from the Earth the same as Salt.
