I wanted to report my friend's success with using borax lotion effectively for arthritis in her hands, because I feel this is a very good option for people who found that while oral borax worked to alleviate their arthritis, it also caused them gastrointestinal discomfort and had to stop using it. This will also be a quick and easy way for people who are fearful of taking a laundry booster for arthritis, to test borax topically before testing it orally. If it works topically, it is likely to work orally also.
Recently, a close friend asked me if there were any alternatives to oral Borax for arthritis as she had tried oral borax and found that while it significantly reduced her arthritis symptoms, it caused a dry skin condition that had the appearance of multiple stairsteps on her skin, which she said she didn't like and consequently stopped using oral borax.
I told her that I could make her an easy to make version of borax lotion to see if the lotion would prevent the "dry staircase appearance" on her skin while having the arthritis relieving effects of oral borax and she agreed to test this Idea. So I made her two bottles of borax lotion and she agreed to give me feedback while she was testing it.
