Is sodium tetraborate the same as borax?

Sodium tetraborate is commonly known as borax. The details are as follows:
　　Borax is a very important boron-containing mineral and boron compound, and it has relatively high toxicity. Borax typically appears as colorless crystals or white powder, and is easily soluble in water. After extensive purification, it can be used medicinally for clearing heat and detoxification, especially beneficial for patients suffering from sore throat, oral or tongue pain, or acute allergic conjunctivitis. It can be combined with borneol, sodium sulfate (Xuan Ming Fen), cinnabar, and other ingredients to treat conditions such as oral swelling, acute gingivitis, and periodontitis. Additionally, borax is considered a cold-natured traditional Chinese medicine, effective in clearing heat and resolving phlegm in cases of wind-heat type colds. It can also be used in cosmetics or as an insecticide, and serves as an important chemical material in industrial applications.
　　All medications should be used only under the guidance of a physician to avoid self-medication, which may lead to adverse health effects. Regular moderate physical exercise, such as jogging, yoga, or hiking, is recommended to enhance immune function. Attention should also be paid to dietary adjustments, avoiding spicy and greasy foods.
