Best Answer

Yes, Borax probably works by altering the pH of the vaginal environment to discourage growth of Candida although it may also directly act on the yeast itself.

It is in several alternative OTC preparations or you can make your own by buying empty capsules and putting 600mg of borax in each one. Insert vaginally twice a day for 10-14 days. Do not take borax internally or put on broken skin. It is toxic.
