[@annabodhi38]

@@PettyIsMyMiddleName * I am not a doctor and don't want to tell you what to do; here is what I would do, but that does not mean that you should do it* Borax is caustic so you have to be careful. No hard scrubbing/rubbing or you will take the skin off. Take about 1 teaspoon to a quart of warm water and dissolve the borax.After you shampoo your hair, pour the solution over your head. Be gentle when you work it into the scalp, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water. Do this no more than two times a week. You can use a bit more or less borax depending on how sensitive you are.

We have driven across Hwy 58 in California many many times this past year, driving past some of the Borax mines and town of Boron. I remember stopping out there and doing some 4 wheel driving out to the old mines… You used to be able to walk up to them and go in them. I grabbed handfuls of Borax when we were exploring. Very kool times. They probably have them blocked off for safety / litigeous reasons these days… not to mention that whole area is being covered with Solar farms.. sad eye sores in the desert…

[@2ndLife2025]

When I was a kid, the pediatrician treating my sisters and I would tell my mom to use Boric acid in water for our pink eyes (eye infections). Worked like a charm every time and was so gentle and safe for the eyes. Nowadays, doctors would think you’re on crack for even suggesting it! They have no idea how well it works and now they’re only trained to prescribe horrible drugs which don’t even work! I’m 48 now, so this wasn’t that long ago that doctors knew about boric acid water flushes for eye infections.

[@wandaarnt234]

Agree Hubby and I are in our 70’s years young. Many male family members worked steel mills and coal mines. Their eyes would have issues due to that type of work. They always used boric acid to rinse their eyes. I remember the little eye cup was made of glass …. Blessings from Pennsylvania Grandma. John 3:16. 🎚🙏🇮🇱🇺🇸

For those who have an RV with toilet and black water holding tank: 1 cup of borax mixed in a coup,e gallons of water and then added to the almost empty black water tank will keep odors from forming. Some also add Dawn dish soap, but I've not found that necessary. KZbin videos exist about this subject.

[@bettyblevins6161]

1/8 teaspoon per 100 pounds. What i was told. Been using for years.

[@teresab2009]

I use Borax and Epsom salt in my laundry. No detergents. About a cup to 1 1/2 cups total. I use about a half a cup of vinegar to also help disinfect and soften my clothing. Works great since I can't use detergents. You can also use flour to put a grease fire out. You can use baking soda for cleaning a fridge. Moth balls for moths. Borax is a salt derivative of boron. Boron is good for pain. So that's probably why it helps flowers live longer. The corn starch is sugar so it feeds them. You used multiple things for laundry and bath. Could've included it in the same section. Boron is a micro nutrient that everyone needs. Many plants, including tobacco is boron deficient due to nitrogen fertilizers. I honestly suspect that's why people smoke cigarettes. Tobacco also relaxes the heart and soothes the stomach. Again the mildew treatment works because borax is a salt derivative. Nice @ starch alternative. I began using ionized boron w magnesium, a few years ago. It helped my pain a lot. You can also use Borax. I've had people suggest a pinch to a 1/8th of a tsp. I'd suggest you do your own research though. I use about 9mg of boron daily. If I don't take it my pain levels are elevated. I hope this helps.

Very good stuff wonder if its good to use if ur on septic tank?

[@annabodhi38]

Yes, it's okay to use if you have a septic tank.

[@chachadodds5860]

No! Your septic tank relies on certain bacteria to break down the solids. Borax is antibacterial, so you don't want to disrupt the eco-balance in that tank, or you'll be creating an expensive life lesson. Read the ingredient label on septic tank products, and you'll find bacteria as the active ingredient. If in doubt, consult a professional; namely, your septic/plumbing service.

[@annabodhi38]

@ Yes, you can still use borax if you have septic. My Aunt and uncle have a septic tank on their farm and they use borax. Many septic companies consider Borax to be a safe and recommended product for septic systems, often promoting it as a natural alternative to harsh chemicals for cleaning purposes; some examples include Crews Environmental, ADP Environmental Services, and companies that specialize in "septic-safe" cleaning products, highlighting Borax as a safe option for disinfection and deodorizing.

[@KathleenCordua]

The best thing for your septic tank is to flush down the toilet the collected rice water when you rinse your rice before cooking. It dries down collected waste so it never fills up. You can do this once or more a week.

[@lizzyjeanne]

They want people to be sick. The pharmaceutical companies lobbied the governments because Boron deficiency causes all kinds of profitable diseases and they can sell more medications. Boron can relieve joint pain, reverse osteoporosis, reduce systemic inflammation, improve the immune system, help your body process Vit, magnesium, and calcium and also helping if their absorption from your food. It is a miracle cure all. All of my joint pain and lower back pain disappeared, my cognition improved, my energy increased. It also helps increase estrogen to help with menopause and increase testosterone in men. Also helps remove calcification of the pineal gland and remove fluoride and bromide from your body so your thyroid will work better.

[@brigidlaffey7343]

Doesn’t need to be boiling but definitely requires hot water to facilitate dissolution. If you’re going to spray be sure that it’s 100% dissolved otherwise the minute particles will block your spray jets. Easily remedied in hot water though. 😊

[@One-Day-After-Another]

If none of these fill the void...........NOTHING WILL!

[@kellylogan9996]

You shouldn’t show the act of killing dandelions

[@sherriepectol9324]

Can you use Borax in carpet cleaners.

[@SimSpark1]

Borax is hardly for sale in europe..

[@franks4973]

Pretty sure grandma did not know some of these chemistry hacks.

Does Borax clean oil stains on driveway pavers?

[@LCinc707]

Clay cat litter, sweep up next day, then hot water and dawn dish soap to get up protein stain.

[@DianeMarotta]

Clay litter and Dawn didn’t work .

[@ItsMefromSnuffys]

Might use baking soda to suck up oil???

[@brigidlaffey7343]

Personally, my liquid mix of Borax and White Vinegar dissolves oil, butter, grease readily. Try it - you might want a strong solution and be prepared to repeat for your stain/s. With, of course, some elbow grease when required 😉😉

[@lynnrivell6600]

I love Borax but too strong for washing clothes make sure to dilute

[@southernsunreviews5932]

WARNING: You should START with a WARNING before you tell people to stirin water and dump it over you hair. !

[@carolmaplesden916]

I use it as an eye wash and sinus rinse i gargle with it and even chew on it

[@yassss5114]

Apparently it has been banned in other countries--- use caution

[@lyndakersnick4743]

Because it works and it’s cheap..

[@karmelicanke]

@@lyndakersnick4743 True! Salt is poisonous doesn't stop people from using it. One doctor cured arthritis with borax tablets. Since the govt and Big Pharma couldn't patent this natural mineral, they outlawed its medical use and banned the doctor. There are online recipies for arthritis treatment.

[@Truther567]

Is there a list of these things? It would take too long to sit and write 42 different things.

[@brigidlaffey7343]

No doubt the Poster felt the same way 😉😉. Use your own fingers for the tips you want

[@Buffcole1]

Dandelions are medicinal, please don't kill them. Eat the roots.

[@womanoftheozarks]

eat the whole plant... I make dandelion fritters with the flowers... have to make as soon as you pick, the flowers close up soon after :)

[@Kelly-ir5hq]

What is borax?

[@womanoftheozarks]

As natural a soap as you can get..I've used to wash my laundry with for years.. no additives whatsoever...taken from the earth in western areas in the West of USA

[@rosalynzografos]

I add borax to my bath

[@brigidlaffey7343]

Excellent combined with baking soda

[@UncommonEyes]

Can’t watch -mind already blown/🤯

[@Coffee240]

If you got bed bugs sprinkle around it kilks them

[@suanneleepool]

No no no! Don’t kill bees!

[@ginapJIL]

It says it deters bees not kills them geeze

[@ninavongunten122]

Stove or floor cleaner?

[@brigidlaffey7343]

Yes. And add to hot water in carpet cleaners to boost efficiency. Personally - as per the video - I wouldn’t sprinkle on the carpets and leave - especially if you have children and pets. I make up a liquid spray with hot water [to dissolve] and white vinegar. I spray on carpets and /or stains. Doesn’t need to be removed so its efficacy keeps on working

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Good lord! I have never seen this and wouldn’t advise it!

[@brigidlaffey7343]

Wouldn’t advise what, exactly?

[@Earth_Rocker]

BYE!

[@j.c.nightwalker5322]

7:55 wouldn't that also kill animals? It's poison, after all.

[@diwells9233]

No

[@megbride5645]

No it is not poison it’s a salt. The only ingredient is sodium tetra borate. So you’d rather use cleaners made of chemicals, that’s not poison? It always boggles my mind how people get so freaked out by natural alternatives but chemicals are ok? Come on!

[@2ndLife2025]

It’s not a poison. Quite the opposite!

[@brigidlaffey7343]

It is helpful in treating pets but the dilution rate is imperative! They can’t tolerate the same rate that we can. RESEARCH

[@MarkousMajorSurf]

ITS TOXIC FOR PETS N REMEMBER PETS SMELL 100X BETTER THAN U. UR PLUG IN HARM THEM N U TOO.

[@dewdrop6784]

Is this legit?? Lol 🤨

[@critter9857]

borax is simply baked baking soda..google how to.

[@SavingSavers]

No, they're not the same.

[@brigidlaffey7343]

You’re confusing it with Washing Soda. That’s how you get WS

[@MichaelMowl-kh1pm]

I don’t even want to try dandelion tea, dandelion wine nor dandelion salad. I’m not concerned with feeding bees. I want those weeds out of my lawn.

[@bernadettebondoch951]

Dangerous?

[@B12478]

What's your source that say it's dangerous

[@marshayoung9387]

I agree, it contains boric acid that is dangerous to an animal or person's skin

[@LCinc707]

Not in small doses, it's boric acid so it can dry your skin if used too often.

[@skayabluuya2080]

Check the ingredients in Visine eye drops

[@niadawn09]

No, I soak in a hot bath with borax, baking soda & epsom salt 2-3x’s a month & it’s cleared up my skin problems.

[@raehboz]

borax should not be used as a health care product, but is good for washing clothes and as a cleaning agent but wear gloves.

[@mountaingoddess9720]

This is what the AMA would say 😂

[@patticurry565]

Making a foot bath with borax cleared my toe nail fungus. It's also safe to make a concentrate of 1 qt water to 1 teaspoon boxas and take a teaspoon of the concentrate daily.

[@2ndLife2025]

False! Boric acid is safe to be used as a health product. Doctors used to prescribe it for eye infections instead of antibiotics. Worked great for me and my sisters when we were kids and my mom used to give us boric acid water flushes for pink eyes (at doctors recommendation). Very gentle and effective!

[@raehboz]

@2ndLife2025 only if you know the exact dilution and under a doctor's supervision... there are much safer products out there today to use for health and beauty care. if you're interested in making a homemade laundry soap, then borax works great with washing powder, shredded fels naptha, hot water, and essential oils of your choice if you want a nice scent just wear gloves if you're handling it ...

[@2ndLife2025]

@ doesn’t have to be that exact. Just use common sense. I recall my mom mixing a tiny bit (maybe about 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon) in a cup of warm water and then I’d rinse my eyes with it. Did this twice or 3 times a day to get rid of pink eye as a kid. After doing it a few times on your own and knowing it’s safe, you don’t need to be under doctor’s supervision going fwd. These days doctors are clueless about this stuff anyway. A good pharmacist can tell you more about the benefits of boric acid than a doctor could, just because they’ve studied chemistry more. But even pharmacists seem to know much less about this stuff these days. They’re trained to push prescription meds which keep people in their system rather than cure people with natural products. I had excema as a kid, and my pediatrician told my mom to bath me in a tub with boric acid. It helped soooo much! You have no idea how safe it is - even for kids and infants.
