Boric Acid for Treatment-Resistant Vaginal Infections
Boric acid is a mild antiseptic with anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties. Vaginal infections may be difficult to resolve if resistance to standard drugs develops. A clinical review of 14 studies by Dr. Christos Iavazzo, et al. found boric acid to be a safe and effective treatment for vaginal infections caused by resistant yeast. A smaller study of 58 women by Drs. Orna Reichman, Robert Akins, and Jack. D. Sobel found that boric acid may provide additional benefit to treatment regimens for resistant bacterial infection.
