All I know is that AGUA BORICADA is what’s known to be
in America as Boric Acid….
The formula is Boric Acid, chemically H3BO3.
It is an antiseptic and it also has antiviral activities…
Sometimes is used also as insecticide….
I come from a Latin country, and this chemical was well
used in pharmaceutical and other home remedies….
The other name you gave, I have never heard of.
I hope this helps you.
