Arthritic Hands - Question for Art

Posted By Pam (OH) on 03/19/2025

Another question for you, Art! I was considering the melatonin lotion your friends made to use on my hands, but I just saw your borax lotion formula that you made for your brother-in-law and found it intriguing as well. My hands aren't as bad as your BIL as in I do not have joint dislocation but I do have issues bending fingers, making a fist and reduced grip strength. I also have some calcium deposit nodules (I think that's what they are called) on several of my joints. Which lotion do you think I would benefit from the most? Would using both be too much? I am on the Walter Last borax protocol.

I'm so sorry to continue to ask you questions. I am so excited to have found this site and the hope it gives me for the future is exponential!

Hi Pam,

Since you are already taking borax orally, I would consider the melatonin lotion first and it is easy to make. One problem I found with the borax lotion was that it sometimes came out gritty for some people if they didn't mix it well enough.
