Boron is used for boron deficiency, menstrual cramps, and vaginal yeast infections. -- So much info!! Okay, so I still haven't decided if I'd try the "washing powder" in water myself or maybe try another form. The difference is in absorption/use by the body. The info page I put the link to a few mins ago is linked to a product page -- MANY products -- I have nothing to do with them. I didn't know it was a place you could find products from until I got to the very bottom of the page after reading it. Blessings, everyone!!
