Supplements

Wondering if there are any specific supplements that would be beneficial and also your views on soaking in Borax which is widely talked about on various forums.

Thank you

Re: Supplements

There are no supplements that I would recommend for treating LS. I would also caution against using Borax. Borax is an alkaline mineral salt used in washing powder or for disinfection, whitening, and against mold. It is often used as an insecticide, particularly against ants and this means it is toxic at a certain dose. It can also cause irritation of the skin which can make your LS worse.
