What Borax Are You Referring to for Folliculitis Treatment?

Posted By Peter.d (Gravesend, Kent) on 03/13/2012

Hi Ted, I have been suffering from the above now for about 5 years mainly affecting the crown and above ear area. Doctor prescribed Anti-Biotics which have'nt worked. Also tried some specialist Shampoo's. Selsun, Nizoral, Tea Tree shampoo plus others to no effect. Am a bit confused about wether or not the 'Borax' you refer to is in powder or liquid form if in powder how do you measure the composition to the liquid ACV and water ? I understand the 1:10 principal but if Powder how much in Teaspoons or Tablespoons etc ? and level or heaped ?

Also as an alternative to 'Borax' would it be the same amount of what you call 'Baking Soda' ( Here in U. K. Think its called 'Bicarbonate Soda' )

With both methods how long to apply for?

HI, Could you please tell me the ratio of honeysuckle to water? The recipe would be helpful. I am assuming the flowers used are dried. I do grow honeysuckle in my garden and the flowers are prolific at this time of the year. Many thanks for your reply.

Hi, Please find a Chinese Herbalist in your area and ask him/her to give you the honeysuckle flowers. You need to boil it and drink it. It helped to clear my scalp. Good luck!

How often and how long do you have to boil and drink the honeysuckle tea to see and maintain results? Any information is greatly appreciated. How much honeysuckle should be used in each serving?

Sorry for the late reply!

1. Fill the tea pot with one quart of water and bring to a steaming boil.

2. Add 2 cups of honeysuckle flowers into the boiling water.

3. Lower the heat for 10-15 mins.

How many times did you drink the honeysuckle with water? How long did it take for you to see results?

Scalp Folliculitis - I've been clear for about a month now.. First let me explain (I'll get to my solution soon), I've been coming to this site for about 3 years...just reading comments, trying different things (just about all of them). I finally came to the conclusion it had to do with my diet, if you have netflix, watch some videos (sick, fat, nearly dead, forks over knives, food matters...etc.) The body needs the right incredients to heal...simple as that. Pill for an ill won't work and there is no nutrtion in any thing that is man made - simple. Anyways, I went on a raw food diet for 30 days...all vegetables and fruits, nothing cooked, distilled water (no fluoride) the most extreme, I also visited a chinese herbalist who gave me a list of herbs to take...I can definitely say that after a week, I was feeling extremely better and my scalp was healing up. After I was about 90% clear, I stopped by regimen....it came back. I decided that I would go back on the diet for good since the benefits were amazing and continue to search.... The diet helped tremendously but I still needed a finisher to rid this thing...so I decided to try something. I remember having some acne pretty bad in high school and my mom gave me this acne wash with 10% benzoyl peroxide from Kaiser (that's a hospital in the U.S.) I was no longer a member of this hospital so I decided to research for a similar product on my own - after a couple of months - BOOM SHOCKA LACKA - found it, at Walmart, it's brand is OXY (maximum actions with 10% benzoyl peroxide. It works..give it a week or two and you'll see results (if it's bacteria related...if not, it's probably fungus and the diet will do wonders.) Anyways...when I first got this condition on my scalp (folliculitis - hair infected bumps) I thought about the 10% acne wash but never tried because the back of the bottle says it will bleach dark hair - well I was to the point where I didnt give a flying &&ck anymore and had to try it...bleached hair or not. But happy to report that it works and my hair has not changed a color one bit...and I have dark brow hair with a little salt (gray.) Anyways...I really hope this works for you...I always told myself if found something I would blast the web. Don't trust Dr's., they suck and only want to use you as a ginnypig...now go try it.
