What is Borax?

Borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate or sodium borate) is a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water which contains approximately 11% boron by weight.

Please do not confuse or substitute borax with boric acid!

Most commercially produced borax is mined from deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. It is found in large quantities in the Western United States, in Mediterranean countries, Kazakhstan, and the Tibet region of China. Turkey is one of the largest commercial producers of borates.

Using Borax as a Remedy

Borax has successfully been used as a remedy for the prevention and treatment of a variety of ailments. It has also been used by doctors and homeopaths for more than 200 years for its anti-inflammatory effects.

Tooth / Teeth Health

Have you considered boron as a nutrient for healthier teeth and bones? It may be a great natural way to strengthen your teeth and prevent tooth decay.

“The connection between healthy strong teeth, gums, and rest of the body is the first thing I discuss with patients. One thing I always try and help people understand, the way your feed your body, is what it uses to make strong bones and teeth. Boron is a nutrient you may never have considered to prevent tooth decay naturally.” https://www.drstevenlin.com/boron-benefits/

Hair

Borax has become popular as a shampoo alternative.

Multitudes of chemicals in shampoos and health conditions that affect the scalp have motivated many people to turn to this method of hair care.

Borax is not only a natural alternative to chemical-laden shampoos because of its alkalinity and anti-fungal properties; it often brings healing to chronic and embarrassing scalp conditions.

Instructions for Hair Application

To use borax for your hair, dissolve 1 cup of borax into one gallon of pure water.

Keep this solution in the shower.

Pour a cup or two of this solution over your hair instead of shampoo, making sure that the solution gets to your scalp.

Allow the solution to sit on your scalp and hair for a few minutes and then rinse.

If you find the borax method dries out your hair, take a small amount of coconut oil and massage it into your hair. You may not need to use the borax solution on your hair more than once or twice a week.

Possible Side Effects

If you experience an unpleasant effect from Borax, reduce or temporarily stop Borax intake until the problem subsides. Any side effects are usually healing reactions such as the Herxheimer reaction e.g. when treating Candida infection. Additional helpful measures may be increasing fluid intake, adding acids such as lemon juice, ascorbic acid or vinegar and improving lymph flow by walking or rebounding etc. Start off slowly and build up.

When Purchasing Borax

Avoid any borax that has any ‘added’ ingredients.

How Much Boron is in Borax?

One US teaspoon of borax powder contains about 4 grams of borax, so ¼ teaspoon of borax contains about 1 gram of borax. One gram of borax is 11.3% boron. So ¼ teaspoon borax has approximately 113 mg of boron.

Borax Toxicity

We only need very small quantities of boron for good health and to prevent diseases such as arthritis. In large quantities it may have adverse effects, just like any other compound. Borax and boric acid have very low toxicity.

Conclusion

Borax is an invaluable, safe and effective treatment for many different requirements when used as directed. Widespread deficiencies of Boron necessitate supplementation and Borax is an inexpensive and easy way to achieve this.

How Should I Store Borax Solution?

If you make Walter Last’s solution with distilled water and store it in a clean glass jar, you will avoid having any impurities to contaminate the mixture. This will maximize the shelf life of the solution. For even more exceptional preservation of this solution, store it in the refrigerator and always use a clean stainless steel spoon to take your dose out of the jar. If your solution looks cloudy or smells off to you, discard it and make another batch.
