Prevent Arthritis
Arthritis is a debilitating condition that can cause immense pain and suffering. Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are treatments that can help to manage the symptoms and improve quality of life – and one such is boric acid. (5)
Boric acid has potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. These properties make it an effective treatment for arthritis pain. In addition, it is also thought to have disease-modifying effects, which means it can slow the progression of arthritis.
There are many different ways to take it for arthritis. It can be taken orally in capsule form, or topically as a cream or ointment. It is also possible to inject boric acid directly into the joints for maximum relief.
Urinary infections
Boric acid can be used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) when other methods have failed. It is available in capsules or as a powder that can be dissolved in water. When used correctly, boric acid is safe and effective in treating UTIs and has been shown to be effective in treating both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
It is also effective against Candida albicans, which is a common cause of urinary tract infections. A recent study showed that boric acid was more effective than the standard treatment of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) in treating bladder infections caused by Escherichia coli.
