Dear Friends,
Sometimes the simplest solution is the most effective. With that in mind, I often think there has been a real and intended disconnect from the wisdom of our ancestors, especially when it comes to inexpensive and effective means of healthcare. Remedies like salt baths to purge toxins, drinking baking soda in water as an ant-acid, aloe for burns, boric acid as an eye bath and ginger or peppermint for nausea. Then again sometimes new research enlightens us to amazing new applications for these old remedies.
Boron is a mineral that works as an activator; it is responsible for regulating the absorption and metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Like many other essential minerals that our bodies need, boron is not as abundant in our soil as it used to be, due to the overuse of herbicides and chemical fertilizers. The chemical names for Boron are Sodium Tetraborate, Disodium Tetraborate Decahydrate, or Sodium Borate. I know that is quite a mouth full but chemically they are all the same. It is usually mined from dried salt lakes.
So what happens when we are deficient in boron? We tend to have arthritis, osteoporosis, memory loss, low libido, tooth decay, kidney stones, muscle cramping, and restless leg syndrome. Also, the synovial fluid that lubricates our joints is not as effective when it is deficient in boron. Supplementing with boron can reduce calcium loss that is pulled from the bones by 50%, making it especially important to those with a history of osteoporosis. It counteracts the negative side effects of fluoride and can even decalcify the pineal gland. Boron in fact effects the metabolism of hormones, especially those that govern libido. It even shows the potential to overcome Morgellons disease.
So where can I get Boron Water?
You may now be thinking how you can get this wonder mineral. Is it rare and possibly expensive? No, it is not rare and it is certainly not expensive. It’s known by another name. Borax; yes Borax, as in “20 Mule Team” detergent booster found in the laundry aisle of the grocery store. When you read the ingredients, it should only read “Sodium Borate” or “Sodium Tetraborate”. If you see another ingredients, don’t purchase that for boron water.
Believe me, I understand how bizarre this sounds, before you panic, be assured that this product is less toxic than salt.
This is How to Make Boron Water:
In a 1 quart mason jar add 1 teaspoon Borax then fill jar with pure water. If you have city water, it would be best if you purchase spring water to make your Boron Water. Shake until crystals are dissolved and store in your cabinet.
***Don’t buy ‘New Borax Substitute’, as it has added perfumes and anti-caking agents.***
Dosing of Boron Water:
The general rule is WOMEN take 2 tsp. daily and MEN take 4 tsp daily. However if you have any of the health problems as discussed above you can temporarily increase daily dosage of boron water up to 3 TABLESPOONS daily depending on your size and gender. Women take half of the men’s dose. Monitor yourself and when your symptoms reached a satisfactory conclusion, then you can decrease back to a maintenance dose. Example: WOMEN – 2 tsp. daily and MEN – 4 tsp daily.
Boron water is also an excellent fungicide, which makes it an ideal way to keep candida overgrowth in check. You will notice improvement in a short amount of time. However, long standing calcification build-up in the body will take longer to clear up and will most likely need higher doses as discussed above. However it is manageable. Remember to closely monitor your symptoms with your dosing.
I hope this will be helpful to you or someone you know to live a happy and healthy life.
Love and Light, Lori
I’m diabetic can I still use this
Yes indeed you can. Boron water has no sugar or carbohydrates and has been shown to help improve wound healing in diabetics by helping to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Additionally, it helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels, which is important for wound healing.
I was lucky to be taught about boron water by my Grandmother who knew the old ways from the old country and didn’t believe in Rx drugs (only treat symptoms). Boron water is an absolute Godsend for me, my family and countless other families across the globe. Drinking boron water helps to alkalize your body and end acidosis (a disease state where ill health and obesity is rampant). Yes, Boron water was more well known in the past as a remedy for arthritis, forgetfulness due to old age, brain fog, toenail fungus (soak it), candida yeast, depression, osteoporosis etc. However, it’s effective nonetheless. Thanks for publishing this article. We have to get the word out on this time-tested and proven remedy.
This has been a great reminder of what the Boron water was used for. Thanks so very much!!❤️🙏🏻
