A method for treating and preventing infections, bacterial, fungal, insecticidal, parasitic and actinomycotic in origin, especially infections of organs such as the vagina and skin. The methods involves administering to a patient in need thereof a composition comprising a combination of boric acid and acetic acid, in effective amounts. Such a composition is especially useful as a broad based treatment and prevention of vaginal and skin infections of unknown origin and can be used without the need for medical diagnosis or while such a diagnosis is being determined. Such a composition is effective, safe, economical and environmentally friendly, and provides an alternative to existing forms of treatment which are toxic which may cause undesirable side effects.
