Dr. Li Ruizhi
Borax solution is a colorless, transparent liquid with no irritant properties and is weakly alkaline. Clinically, borax solution has multiple applications. First, it can be used as a mouthwash or oral rinse, exerting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects—particularly effective in alleviating various oral inflammatory conditions. Second, it may also be applied topically via wet compresses to treat local skin lesions, providing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits.
