Let’s talk about boils and treat­ment using home reme­dies to effec­tively heal them. They are infec­tions around hair fol­li­cles that if not treated can spread caus­ing sev­eral in the same area. They are prone to develop in areas of the body where mois­ture or fric­tion is com­mon. Nor­mally found on the armpits, the but­tocks or the neck area.

One of the most effec­tive nat­ural reme­dies for boils is gar­lic and onion juice. Press their juices and mix them together, with a cot­ton ball and cover the boil with the juices. Cover it with a loose ban­dage and wait for the juice to soften the dry, crusty skin on the head of the boil.

If it is still painful to the touch add more mix­ture and cover again. Leave it ban­daged for a while longer. It is soft enough when you can remove the skin by wip­ing it with a clean, dry wash cloth and warm water. After the skin is removed dis­in­fect it with more gar­lic juice.

Then cover it until it has com­pletely healed. This could take about a week so be sure to change your ban­dage at least twice a day. If it has not healed within 10 days then you should con­tact your doc­tor for an appointment.

Other sim­ple reme­dies include hot Epsom salt baths and warm moist com­presses on the infected area. There are sev­eral herb treat­ments involv­ing boil­ing the herbs in water and wrap­ping the boil with cloth soaked in the herbal water. Cumin seeds, Betel leaves and Mar­gosa leaves cre­ate a paste like sub­stance when boiled in water. These solu­tions will help the boils to heal faster.

Which ever way you decide to treat them you should know that boils and treat­ment of them using alter­na­tive reme­dies is safer. They are trig­gered by a poor immune sys­tem. Start eat­ing foods that con­tain beta carotene as they help main­tain and repair skin. Exam­ples of these foods would be the dark green and orange veg­eta­bles like spinach and carrots.
