SODIUM TETRABORATE (solution)
I thought that this was a unnecessary formality.
I tried to tell the doctor that I had recently visited a gynecologist, completed a course of treatment for thrush and, if necessary, bring the necessary certificate. Now I am very grateful to this doctor for the examination and consultation. During the examination, I asked what could cause thrush and how to treat it. They explained to me why thrush may appear. There may be several such reasons. This includes the use of antibiotics, which I was taking at that time. And I took antibiotics because of a terrible sore throat, and if there is a sore throat, it means inflammation. And any inflammatory diseases lead to a decrease in immunity. This can also cause thrush. Then they told me in a correct manner that I was slightly overweight and that I probably liked sweets. Yes, I love cookies, cake, ice cream, and sometimes I can eat a decent amount of candy. And these sweet joys can lead to thrush. You should eat fruits and vegetables, not sweets, the doctor advised. And, excuse me for the detail, she said that I was wearing the wrong kind of underwear. It’s beautiful, but it’s synthetic, and you have to wear cotton underwear. Since I underwent a course of treatment, I was advised at the first signs (those who have had thrush understand what I’m talking about) to use the antiseptic Sodium Tetraborate 20% solution in glycerin. After some time, I bought this solution and started using it. A small bottle made of dark glass, with a regular screw cap. The neck of the bottle is closed with an additional cap pressed inside. Nothing spills through it, but it is easy enough to get out. The packaging is simple, and why bother with bright stickers, the main thing is the result. The bottle, as written, contains a 20% solution of the drug and, accordingly, 80% glycerin. The solution is clear, like water, but the liquid is viscous and slightly oily. The smell can only be detected by sniffing well. I can’t give an exact definition of the smell, it’s some kind of medical smell. For the best effect, I first douche with herbs infused in a “water bath” (on the advice of the same doctor). This herbal collection includes calendula and chamomile flowers, as well as licorice root. They have an anti-inflammatory effect. Sage leaves are also added there, which have antimicrobial and rejuvenating properties. Eucalyptus leaves are also present; they have a bactericidal effect. After douching, I apply the Sodium Tetraborate solution to a prepared cotton swab of any type and send it deeper to its destination. I do this in the evening for the whole night. Of course, there is not much discomfort. But in 2-3 days, maximum in a week, all the symptoms of thrush go away. I carry out the procedure approximately once every six months. When purchasing this solution, I learned that Sodium Tetraborate is also called sodium borate or borax. And my mother and I treated my daughter’s neck and mouth with an aqueous solution of borax (we wrapped cotton wool around a wooden stick and treated it). They brought her from the maternity hospital, and her entire neck and mouth were whitish. It helped her very quickly at that time. Without the advice of a doctor, I could not even think that it was possible to treat such different parts of the body with different solutions of the same medicine. This medicine has contraindications. Not for pregnant and nursing mothers. And maybe someone has an individual intolerance. The price of the Antiseptic Sodium Tetraborate (20% solution in glycerin) is purely symbolic, less than five hryvnia. The consumption is economical; the contents of a 30 g bottle last me almost a year of use (the period of use is two years). The product is effective and efficient, it helps me without pills or injections. All the best to you and stay healthy.
