Why this ingredients:
Borax (i.e. Boric acid) is a mild, topical antiseptic used to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth on the skin. Boric acid is primarily used medically as a vaginal suppository to treat recurrent yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, especially cases resistant to conventional antifungal treatments. It acts as an antiseptic, antifungal, and antiviral agent, helping to balance vaginal pH and odor. It is also used in eye drops, ear drops, skin antiseptic solutions applied to cuts, scraps and burns, and for athlete's foot.
It acts as a bacteriostatic and fungistatic agent, meaning it inhibits the growth of bacteria (like E. coli and various streptococci) and fungi (like Candida), rather than killing them outright. They work in conjunction with the host's immune system to eliminate infections by inhibiting bacterial protein production, DNA replication, or metabolism. Common bacteriostatic antibiotics include tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline), macrolides (e.g., erythromycin, azithromycin), sulfonamides, and clindamycin..It is effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Boric acid can kill parasites, specifically Trichomonas vaginalis (causing trichomoniasis) through vaginal suppositories. It acts as a desiccant against pests like insects and flea larvae.
Epsom Salt is high in magnesium. Magnesium is essential for skin health, offering benefits such asboosting hydration, reducing acne, calming inflammation (rosacea/eczema), and combating signs of aging. It helps improve skin barrier function, repairs cells, and regulates sebum, making it effective for both dry and oily skin types. Topically, it can improve elasticity and reduce cortisol.
Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)can help soothe itchy, inflamed, or irritated skin from rashes, poison ivy, eczema, and sunburn by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
Bacterial and Fungal infections thrive in warm, moist environments, making prevention and effective treatment essential. Epsom salt, chemically known as magnesium sulfate, is a naturally occurring mineral compound renowned for its therapeutic properties

If you drink tap water you are kinda defeating the purpose. The borax will stay busy detoxing incoming fluoride and never get around to the accumulation in your body. You need to discontinue the use of fluoridated water for any drinking or cooking and use only nonfluoride tooth products. I'd say in your tea is fine but make the tea with distilled water or mineral water

John, thank you for your sensible response. Yes, I do also know about using Borax for many things, too. My health intuitive started me on it it years ago. Unfortunately I got out of the habit of drinking it. But I will.certainly ask her about dosages again and resume. Appreciate your candid answer.
Blessing back at you,

Great info. I have been using technical grade for over 4 months. I also use it externally and notice my skin is softer and my toenails look so much better. I would not use mule team as it contains other added ingredients. technical grade is 99.7% pure borax. I don't think they can claim 100% pure as the mined borax has go to get some other items in there that can't be helped.
Borateem is 98.7 percent borax with tribromsalan, a microbiocide, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, an insecticide (but more importantly, a common laundry detergent).
And of course, the cdc and all the famous medical sites (webmd, healthline, etc.) say the same exact thing about borax. Both borax and boric acid in loose powder form can be harmful if swallowed, particularly for children. the operative word is can... and if the government says it's bad, I believe the opposite as they have a stellar record for deception.

So once again, I find myself asking...why not take Boron supplements? There are mountains of studies that Boron and Selenium have the exact same effects on arthritis as Borax.
It is understood that Borax does wonders, but in the state of the world we are in, are people not worried about contamination, quality, production and the fact that it is sold in the store in a box that is not airtight. All kinds of contamination could occur. We talk about our health and rightfully so, but then do not take the simplest precautions. I feel that the health forums/websites/and our version of industry that we operate in has become more of a cult like mindset. No on can disrupt the status quo. As someone who has done this for more than 30 years, we need to be more careful. We avoid the pharma industry and med docs cause they are either ill informed, corrupt or outright trying to make you ill, yet we dont go that extra mile to ensure we protect ourselves from the smaller possible intrusions. Some things to think about.

Im taking borax since 1 week, I felt some side effects the first 2 days, feeling like heart discumfort.
But then I felt less craving for sugar, mental clarity all the day, testosterone going higher! Many red sport alsa disapeared, I think I had kind of candidosis. Excess of water also is going down.
I will continue for a month.
Sometime I have headache in the morning but its because I dont drink enough water and borax use a lot of it.

Nach und vor dem Essen 2 Std abstand, weil Borax basisch ist und Magen säure neutralisiert, verdaung stört...
Hello Markus,
Use lukewarm water because borax powder dissolves better in it.
Take it two hours before or after meals, because borax is alkaline and neutralizes stomach acid, which can disrupt digestion...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)/Epstein Barr related bugs, and others can be reduced quite a bit by taking 1/4 tsp of Borax with one liter/quart of water (purified is best) per day. Sip it throughout the day. (I don't always drink the whole liter everyday but have fewer sensitivities, or can be exposed to fragrances and solvents for longer periods before getting sore throat, coughing, headaches, etc., resulting in sinus infections and flu/cold. If you have a healing crisis (Like flu or sinus infection, etc.) treat accordingly but don't stop the Borax. Maybe take less each day but don't stop, and build up to 1/4 tsp. For ladies, 1/8 tsp. Another simple addition that might help with Fibromyalgia (FMS) brain fog, if that's a problem, is extra virgin coconut oil, 1-3 or more tbs a day. (Great for Alzheimers to. More is better for that (Build up)). The Borax has been a Godsend for my Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), which is often co-morbid with CFS and/or FMS. Stay with it, these help. Perhaps I'll add I also take Fulvic Acid (excellent for unstacking blood cells). Fulvic Acid can cause a healing crisis. I also take 6 grams of Vit. C (not for CFS and FMS or MCS). I have searched for almost 40 years something to help, Borax and Coconut Oil have turned out to be the most effective for me, very powerful. I have been them consistently now for approx. 6 years. Recently started taking 200mg of Boron.

Hi Jeff,
The 200 mg of a boron compound per day is a lot at 10 times the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 20 mg /day. Are you still taking the borax at a 1/4 teaspoon per day also? If so, that would put your daily intake of boron over 300 mg/day and that is really a lot of boron at 15 times the UL!
At a bare minimum, it might be worth paying attention for the signs and symptoms of boron/borax toxicity as described here :
https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Boron-HealthProfessional/
Here is a relevant quote from the boron fact sheet :
' Symptoms associated with accidental consumption of boric acid or borax (sodium borate), contained in some household cleaning products and pesticides, include nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, skin flushing, rash, excitation, convulsions, depression, and vascular collapse [2, 6, 46]. The amount of boron consumed in people who accidentally consumed boron ranged from 18 to 9, 713 mg, and most were children younger than 6 years [46]. Boron toxicity can also cause headache, hypothermia, restlessness, weariness, renal injury, dermatitis, alopecia, anorexia, and indigestion. In infants, high boron intakes have caused anemia, seizures, erythema, and thin hair [9]. Extremely high doses of boron can be fatal; for example, 15, 000 to 20, 000 mg can cause death in adults [6, 9]. '
I have never experienced a problem at the 1/4 teaspoon I take, but you are considerably higher than me at the dose you are taking.

The following very interesting and fast moving 4 minute video further describes the value of B/B for osteoporosis :
https://youtu.be/2m-dkc7rHrg?si=7xMkNPX8Y_G552jG
Note that they also mention the possibility that B/B may have added benefit to work against tooth decay. If their idea is correct, then people with arthritis and or osteoporosis should have more incidence of tooth decay. To add confirmation to that idea studies should show as much.
In the following two links, it is shown that people with arthritis do have significantly increased levels of tooth decay :
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' The mean number of decayed teeth (p=0.004) and missing teeth (p=0.026) in the rheumatoid arthritis patients were significantly higher than that of the control. '
In the following Johns Hopkins article it is further confirmed that people with rheumatoid arthritis are at increased risk for tooth decay as discussed here :
Here is a relevant quote from the article :
' A study conducted at the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center found that gum disease and tooth loss are more prevalent in people who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). '
To delve into the realm of tooth decay and osteoporosis, the following 2 links illustrate that tooth decay is increased in people with osteoporosis :
Here is a relevant quote from the link above :
' It was found that those participants with osteoporosis had significantly higher number of tooth loss (5.4 ± 2.8) as compared to those with osteopenia (2.1 ± 2) and normal BMD (1.09 ± 1.2) (P < 0.01). '
The following link adds further confirmation to the idea that people with osteoporosis have increased risk for tooth decay :
https://www.todaysrdh.com/osteo-conditions-overview-and-oral-health-implications/
Here is a very relevant quote from this comprehensive article link above :
' In terms of oral health, osteopetrosis causes changes in the skull and jaw, leading to delayed tooth eruption, severe dental caries, micrognathia, mandibular prognathism, osteomyelitis of the jaw, dental anomalies, deciduous retention, malformation of teeth crowns, abscesses, and facial paralysis.1 '
So it seems pretty clear that there is a fairly direct correlation between arthritis and tooth decay as well as a correlation between osteoporosis and tooth decay. Although teeth, technically are not bones as mentioned here they do contain a lot of boron :
Here is a relevant quote from the article :
' Teeth and bones look similar and share some commonalities, including being the hardest substances in your body. But teeth aren't actually bone.'
Although teeth aren't considered to be bone, they do contain a lot of boron as discussed here :
Here is a relevant quote from the above link :
' Boron exists within the human body, with the greatest amount found in bones and teeth [6]. However, increasing the intake of boron changes the mineral composition of the teeth and shows beneficial effects on the alveolar bone in moderate amounts [7]. Boric acid can reduce alveolar bone loss [8]. Boron enhances the odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation processes in human dental germ stem cells, promoting the proliferation of human dental pulp stem cells. Moreover, it exerts a substantial influence on the growth and development of both bones and teeth [9]. '
To me, the above information suggests that B/B is likely to be very useful for all three health conditions which should also include osteopenia. I like it when a supplement is beneficial for more than one health condition!

1) Morning:
- Triphala Powder 100g + Borax 5 g (mix it together) -- 1/2 tsp.
(Borax is available in Ayurveda as Tankan Bhasma)
2) Afternoon:
- Lithium Carbonate 300 mg (Lithium is an OTC medicine in India) -- 1 tab
3) Night: 10 drops each of following homeopathic drops.
- Valeriana Officinalis Q drops (Q indicates Mother Tincture) -- 10 drops
- Alphalpha Q drops -- 10 drops
I generally give a break of 1-2 days after taking borax for 2 weeks.
This helps purging the accumulation of borax to a harmful levels.
The above remedy has reportedly worked for cancer and several other body conditions.

Hi Sunny,
First of all, Thank you for posting.
I recently watched a documentary by Dr. Jorge Flechas on Boron and Health.I was most impressed by natures elements (Boron) for providing a possible natural remedy for arthritis pain in my knees, shoulders, and mental clarity. After scouring the internet for a recommended internal supplement-product (preferably powder based so not inside a capsule-making it go directly into my system)with the different options/types I am now left uncertain of what brand and in what form to take. I have bought the 20 Mules Borax at the grocery store for years and used in my wash and as a cleaning agent; it cautions and warns on the label against taking it internally. Please confirm the the borax -boron you are taking internally is the 20 Mules Borax detergent from the grocery store- just taking in a small dosage of 1/8 tsp. in a liter of water? I am so happy that you have found some relief.
Thank you for sharing. Cheers to health

Anyway-I was looking for something to help w/Hidradenitis Suppurativa-which is basically cysts in your armpits, sometimes in groin & under breasts. It's horribly painful & can be embarrassing-especially when they burst. Doctors have no idea what causes it either & is treated w/tetracycline-a strong antibiotic or biologics &/or incisions & draining them.
That doesn't cure it-they come back. And no one should be on tetracycline or biologics all the time!
I started taking 1/8 of a teaspoon dissolved in a bit of warm water right after breakfast.
I started it on Monday-today is Saturday & the cysts are all gone! I'm shocked it worked so quickly!
I'm also an insomniac-I have been since I was a kid-& w/in a couple days I was falling asleep easier & staying asleep! I've been able to go off a couple of OTC meds I was using to fall asleep also in just a couple of days!
I also have fibromyalgia & usually have a flair up a couple times a week-but not this week! I'm knocking on wood that I don't have any more of them-but even if the flare-ups are just lessened it would be great news for me.
FYI-I didn't really have any herxing & I'm hoping I don't-but regardless, I'd continue taking this amazing mineral.
Thank you, Ted, for spreading the news of this natural medicine! You've literally changed my life!

Hi Sue,
May I ask you for the link from where you bought the borax you use?
I firmly believe that there are huge quality differences between borax products. The ones I tried/used did not work, the one you use is obviously genuine/real borax since it works for you and in such a short time as well.
In how much warm water did you dissolve the 1/8 teaspoon of borax approximatively?
Thank you very much

Twenty Mule Team Borax - in any grocery store! It is called a washing soda in some stores- found in the laundry detergent aisle. Been taking on and off for hashimotos/arthritis/gout for yrs-my Rheumatologist agrees! Some on EC have suggested 5 days on and 2 days off.
EC: Washing Soda (sold by the brand Arm & Hammer) is sodium carbonate, which you can make yourself by baking sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) for 30 minutes, so people should carefully not buy washing soda thinking it is boron-containing borax.

Found a video with a Phd talking about consuming borax and the dosages etc etc. To make it less complicated, I started out with a pinch 2x a day and worked my way up to 1/8 tsp, 2xD.
Within 3 days - spasming stopped. 5 days - joint pain and all muscle inflammation next to vanished. I have had the same length of goatee since I was 19. It grows to a certain length and falls out. At about week 3, my facial hair was growing more so than usual and by about week 5 it had doubled in length and I was having to shave far more often. I have had 3 bone spurs in the last decade. One in my right shoulder, my left heel, and recently my right heel. It was digging into my achilles and causing a lot of issues. I did some reading that talked about cal build up and on my search I found that video about taking borax. Also around the 5 week mark it is 90% heeled up. Full rom, 3/10 pain but only 1/10 constant.
Recently decided to stop drinking coffee and stop consuming cannabis. I stopped taking borax, and within a week my joints started to ache again and my nails are chipping and have all kinds of lines like they are going to split.
As I'm writing this I have hot water beside me ready to drink. Just wanted to reach out and share my story.
Going on a carnivore diet helped me with all of that! Especially broth with unflavored gelatin! It's the “glue” that keeps you together (my grandmother always said)! Now I'm strict carnivore! Love it!

Hi Dee,
How much borax do you take per day?
Do you dissolve the powder in hot water first and then drink or place the powder on tongue and wash it down?
When do you take your borax doses during the day, I.e. first thing in the morning and before sleep or at noon?
When do you take your doses in relation to meals, I.e. 30- 60 min before a meal and or 2- 3 hours after a meal on empty stomach or right after a meal or during a meal (like sprinkling it on the food)?
And could you please post the link from where did you get your borax? Not all borax products are the same... I tried some without success... your borax source obviously is genuine and works.
Thank you

Loretta,
I've been taking borax for well over a decade and have stopped for months, several times with no problems. Now I take it regularly to get all of the benefits that borax may offer. I did however, see a friend who discontinued borax at her doctor's request for well over a year and when she started taking it again, it no longer worked for her osteoarthritis.

For me, I am a little heavier at 200 lbs and a woman and what works for me is I started with the 1/8 tsp in water, it worked well for me, I started slowly for a week or so and I also read to take a magnesium capsule once daily to offset any symptoms as this borax seems to work hand in hand with the magnesium. I take one 500mg magnesium capsule in the morning with breakfast. This works for me. After doing well with the 1/8 of a tsp of the 20 mule team borax I upped the dosage to where I take this two times per day in a hot large cup of coffee.
I have taken this for a month now and it seems to be helping me with the stiffness in my shoulder joints which I could not raise above my shoulder level without pain before and can raise straight up now, much stronger with very little pain if any and I run my rototiller about once a week, have a large garden and work daily on two acres, keeping it mowed and taken care of. Plus I am almost 70 yrs old. This has also been helping to dissolve my kidney stones and has helped my IBS very much. Helped my partner's arthritis in his knees a lot also. So for me this works well.

Interesting on the kidney stones! I am curious if that would help me as well.

Boron and antioxidants complex: a new concept for the treatment of kidney stones without rigorous pain:

Clinical data
One investigator has reported the use of boron supplementation in approximately 30 cases to facilitate dissolution and/or passing of urinary stones with minimal pain. Boron was supplemented at 10 mg/day with and without additional antioxidants for 2 to 60 days. Boron was well tolerated without observed side effects.(Naghii 2014, Naghii 2013, Naghii 2012) In the absence of a control group, it is difficult to attribute these results to boron.

I wonder how much of your success is this vs the Borax? I tend to also do too many things at once and then can't pinpoint exactly what the 'miracle" is!

Within a week, the pain in my shoulder was gone.
My wife had a calcite spur in her foot. Very painful. I told her that the boron in the Borax would help her body regulate the calcium and the magnesium in her body and may make the spur go away.
It went away within a week.
Recently, my dentist checked my jaw bone to see if I had enough bone to install a dental implant (it's unusual for someone my age [65] to have enough bone to safely do an implant without extra preparation to the bone). He was surprised/shocked to find out that I have no bone loss at all. I told him it was because I "take boron supplements." (I didn't dare say that I take BORAX--he would have flipped! )
I put 1/4 teaspoon of Borax in a 2-liter bottle of water. Then I drink about 1/2 cup of Borax-water each day, for about 4 or 5 days per week.
The $5.60 box of Borax that I bought on 24-Dec-2012 is still mostly full. It will last until I am about 130 years old or more.

I usually just put a few drops(2-4) of the nascent iodine into the mix. Amazing effects after first use. They are killing us with fluoride and it's in everything. Healing is absolutely possible.
