I’ve been thinking about your chronic BV, and how you told me boric acid was the thing that has helped the most.<\/span><\/p>

I first heard about if from Lisa Goldstein, a fabulous Appalachian midwife, and she actually sells boric acid suppositories here,\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0so that’s an easy buy. She recommends it for candida or yeast infections.<\/span><\/p>

I then researched what quality of boric acid, and came across\u00a0 a bunch of confusion on boric acid vs borax, and Crunchy Betty lays it out in\u00a0this article<\/a>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“Borax is not boric acid.<\/b><\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s where the majority of the online confusion appears. With no surprise; at least half of the studies I\u2019ve found and citations I\u2019ve read have listed their testing matter as \u201ceither sodium borate or boric acid.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The difference between the two is: Boric acid is produced when borax is reacted with another acid (like sulfuric or hydrochloric acid). The result is an\u00a0acid structure<\/span><\/a> (pH of 5.0), rather than alkaline, as borax is (9.3 pH). (I\u2019m not going to get into the \u201cis boric acid safe or not\u201d question here, because that\u2019s a whole \u2018nother can of worms.)”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

So, what level Boric Acid is safe? Cause this\u00a0Vice author<\/span><\/a>\u00a0used straight up roach killer, which is the technical grade, and not the medical\u00a0<\/span>\/ pharmaceutical grade which is what I’m going to recommend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Overall, the experience was liberating. With my roach poison in hand, I’ll never, ever need to purchase some irritating, overpriced brand name cream again.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You for sure want to use medical grade or pharmacy grade. The label should look like this.<\/p>

Boric Acid NF\/USP Grade, Powder<\/b><\/p>

Yes, it’s more expensive, but we are using it on the good china if you get me, and that takes way more to repair and fix so we are gonna be proactive and take care of it upfront.<\/p>

Other recommendations<\/strong> are to avoid sugar and carby foods, up your water intake, and get some vitamin D on your face by way of nature and sunshine.<\/p>
