"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."
