Will 1 cup of borax in a bath cause detox reaction (herxheimer)?
It's been recommended to me to take a bath every other day with:
2 Cups Magnesium Chloride mineral salts
1 Cup Baking Soda
1 Cup Borax
I gather that borax can cause a detox reaction. I don't mind a detox reaction, but I have a visitor coming to visit for a couple of weeks and would like to not be having any reaction while they are here. Has anyone had such a detox reaction with that amount of borax in a bath, or should I take 1/2 or less the amount of borax in the recipe to be safe? Or maybe I should just not use the borax in the baths until my visitors are gone?

Hi Oopsie, this is months after the fact and you may never see this… but I'm betting the white powder on your skin is just salts still lingering. Like using too much soap.. you have “salt scum”. I would suggest rinsing your feet with water and cutting back on your recipe next time.
The white powder most likely wouldn't hurt anything but it'll likely get itchy and/or irritated.
Cheers!

You should only start off with a pinch of borax in your distilled or spring water. Do a pinch for a week and slowly increase each week till you reach the recommended amount for a woman. I've never had a problem with it. I know many people who take it in their water and in their bath.. I hope this helps you and you try it again 🤗

I don't know about borax, but my dad had shingles for 4 years on/off...very painful. He now uses castor oil (organic) in the amber bottle and he is 75% better. Try it!

One cup of borox should do nicely. It does clean very well and soaking your hair in it will leave it soft. I would highly recommend showering afterwards. It will leave you feeling rejuvenated and full of energy. Ahhh like brand new. I soak 10 to 15 minutes. Thank God for boron. God bless you.

I just did a borax bath today. My mom use to give us borax baths at least once a week. If I was getting a UTI, she would have me bath more.

If UTI is a big health problem. Make research on D-Mannose

Uncertain from La.,
Borax is poorly absorbed through the skin. It can possibly help arthritis of the hands by soaking the hands, but the feet are harder to penetrate the skin layers. The little that be absorbed through the hands and feet is not likely to be enough to affect other areas of the body such as the hips or spine. I use the oral route and dose as Ted recommended and it has been nothing short of a miracle for me!

Thank you so much Art for your reply.
I took a “maintenance” dose of borax just to try it out. I thought it made my upper gums turn white which made me nervous. I did just have some dental work done so that may have contributed also but was not sure. Otherwise I had no issues. Not prepared yet to take Ted's complete dose yet. I will be doing it in small doses. I think I might have had a few hot flashes also.

This is not true. The underneath of the feet are tender and do absorb. This is a well-known detox pathway in Chinese! Wrapping the feet at night and putting on socks to sleep in is also highly used. Such as with a raw onion tapped under the foot or Vicks Vapor Rub.

Simple question: How much borax to put in bath? Don't want all that other info. Just HOW MUCH BORAX IN A BATH????? Cannot find a simple answer to a simple question in all of this website! Not really very helpful.

Hello Yasha from Imnaha,
You ask how much borax for the bath:
One tablespoon.
If drinking, use 1/20th of a teaspoon in a gallon of water and drink throughout two days.
Yasha there is not an exact science on this. But if you read the material about oral consumption you'll see that VERY little is required. By extension I use proportionally the same for a bath. The absorption will be less than orally consumed but spread throughout the body allows for a diverse transfer to different regions. Less but better applied. Same idea for Epsom Salts baths. I can orally take a magnesium supplement (and I do) but also there is a broader or wider absorption with Salts baths. A very ancient remedy to many maladies.
Best to you,
Dave
Hi Yasha,
On this site Ted has recommended 1/4 tea spoon for men and 1/8 tea spoon of borax for women with 1/4 tea spoon of sea salt in one liter of water to be consumed through the day for internal use. Therefore, for bath one cup of borax should be ideal to get some benifit of borax for any health problem you are looking forward, may be don't soak for too long but I feel the concentration should be adequate to get the benefit.
Good Luck

Is a boron foot bath recommended for arthritis joint pain? If so, would a boron supplement capsule dissolved in water work? And how long to soak recommended?

Indeed. Yasha is about 78 years old now if she's still drawing breath, and is/was living in one of the most sparsely-populated, isolated areas of these United States of America in far northeastern Oregon (I used to live in the same county a few years back). A different breed of people live there, the very few who do, and the modern world has a tendency to confound them. Am not meaning this harshly or being mean. It's simply the way things are there. Good people, but their minds are generally made up and they can confuse when given facts. Go there, you'll see. Gorgeous country, Hell's Canyon area.
On another note, all of the vast amount of ideas, experiences, and knowledge here are quite likely helping to extend my life at present, having fought a couple of cancers all naturally for pushing 6 years here now (bladder and prostate). The borax has been incredibly effective in keeping my system on the slightly alkaline side, a critical part of my chosen therapies. It's kept the cancers from being able to grow.
Important, and respectfully- a little borax goes a long way. In my estimation- 1/8th teaspoon of borax in a quart/liter of water per day may well be too much for many if not most people. One quarter of this amount is likely fine, 1/32nd teaspoon (that is- one measured "smidgeon") dissolved well into a quart or liter of clean water per day is a strong alkalizing solution, still requiring a couple of days off each week.
And thank you one and all for spending the time to share and thus help many others. Had I gone the conventional medicine ways there would have been no way that I could have spent the last half a decade living life to the fullest. Thank you EarthClinic.

From what I've read about a cup of borax should do the trick in a bath.

I have read that it is most common when starting Boron treatment for a person to have flu-like symptoms brought on by detoxing. It is called a Herxheimer Reaction and is a temporary state caused by the body starting detoxification. We are told to stop a day or two and it will stop and then we proceed with the treatment. It may be that you started out with too strong of a solution and need to increase it more slowly.
