Dosage, Usage Tips, and More

Borax is a versatile substance that can be used internally and externally to treat various health conditions. When taken internally, borax can effectively manage arthritis, fungal infections, and other ailments while also providing the body with essential trace minerals such as boron.

On the other hand, borax is also used externally to treat parasites, and mange in dogs, and as a substitute for shampoo, especially for individuals with scalp infections, mite infestations and scabies.

For detailed instructions on how to make a borax solution, you can check out our popular YouTube video. In the video, we demonstrate two effective ways to create a borax solution that can be used for various purposes.

Borax Internal Uses

If you’re considering taking borax internally, here’s how to do it:

• For men, it’s recommended to take 1/4 teaspoon (940 – 1,000 mg) of borax dissolved in one liter of water. Sip the liter of water throughout the day.
• For women, it’s recommended to take 1/8 teaspoon (470 – 500 mg) of borax dissolved in a liter of water. Sip the water throughout the day.

Both men and women should take the borax water for five days on and two days off. For example, take the borax water Monday through Friday and take the weekend off.

This dosing recommendation comes from Earth Clinic’s Ted. Following these instructions can help ensure you take a safe and effective amount of borax.

Alternative Methods For Taking Borax

There are a few different ways to take borax, in addition to the method of dissolving it in water and sipping throughout the day:

• Some people add borax to their morning coffee or sprinkle it on their food as they would salt. However, it’s important to measure your daily dose (1/4 teaspoon for men, 1/8 teaspoon for women) each morning if you choose this method to ensure you’re not taking too much.
• While borax is not more toxic to the body than table salt, taking too much may cause temporary stomach upset or diarrhea. Even the regular dose may be too much for some people. If the daily dose of 1/4 or 1/8 teaspoon doesn’t agree, you can cut the dose in half. Alternatively, you could try the more diluted version recommended by Walter Last, which some people have found effective for their needs.
• Walter Last recommends dissolving 1 teaspoon of borax in 1 liter of water and then taking one or two teaspoons of the borax solution daily. This is another option to consider if you’re looking for a different way to take borax.

Borax External Uses

Borax can be a helpful addition to a tub bath or foot bath for skin conditions, particularly fungal ones. You can add 1 to 4 tablespoons of borax to the bath water.

Borax is also one of the two ingredients in Ted’s Famous Mange Cure, which is used to treat mange in animals. To make the solution, you mix 2 cups of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 4 cups of water, and 3 heaping tablespoons of borax together. The solution is then used for bathing the affected area, or the entire animal, several times a day and allowed to dry on the animal. For more information see this page.

In addition, borax can be used as a substitute for shampoo, especially for people with an itchy or infected scalp. To use it as a shampoo, you can add one tablespoon of borax to 1 or 2 cups of warm water and use this mixture to rinse your hair from the scalp to the ends. Then, rinse your hair thoroughly. However, for some people, this may cause some dryness of the hair and scalp. If this happens to you, try moisturizing your hair with a small amount of coconut oil.

Patience and Persistence: Seeing Results with Borax

It’s important to note that taking borax internally or using it externally can take time to produce noticeable results. Therefore, giving it a little time is recommended before determining whether or not it’s effective for your particular health concern.

If you have been taking borax for a week or two and haven’t seen any improvement in your symptoms, you might consider gradually increasing the dosage. However, you should always consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your dosage.

It’s also worth noting that the effectiveness of borax may vary from person to person, as everyone’s body is different. So while some people may see results quickly, it may take longer for others.

Overall, if you’re using borax for a health condition or skin issue, it’s important to be patient and consistent with your usage. If you have concerns about the effectiveness or safety of using borax, you should consult a healthcare professional before continuing.
