"Boric acid is a chemical substance with antiseptic properties. A double-blind comparison study of 108 women with yeast infections found that 92% of those who used boric acid suppositories nightly for 2 weeks experienced full recovery, as compared to 64% of those given suppositories of the standard antifungal drug nystatin. Another small uncontrolled study of boric acid suppositories in women with chronic vaginal yeast infections also found benefit. However, there are safety concerns with boric acid. If taken internally, it is quite toxic. For this reason, it should not be applied to open wounds. In addition, it should not be used by pregnant women, nor applied to the skin of infants." http://www.healingpeople.com/hp_html/primapub/pg000181.htm |
