Answer 1

Hi Carinma

Here are some remedies to heal the issue.

Cause
The infection is usually due to the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.

Recurrent boils can occur in people with decreased immune function, diabetes, chronic gastrointestinal problems, under active thyroid, lowered resistance due to borderline nutrient deficiencies, and chronic emotional stress.

Natural Cures

Note: Bursting a boil can spread it, leaving scars, and usually does no good until the core is expelled.

Aromatherapy: Draw out the boil with bergamot, lavender, chamomile, and clary sage.

Ayurveda: To bring boil to a head, apply a poultice of cooked onions. Wrap in cloth and do not apply onion directly to boils. Application of a paste of 1/2 teaspoon each of tumeric and ginger powder directly to boil.

Diet: Eat plenty of green, orange, and yellow vegetables, which are cleansing (try to have at least four different types of green vegetables a day, and keep this up for at least six months). Increase fluids, drinking water throughout the day, and drinking water with juice of fresh lemon and one teaspoon of chlorophyll upon rising and before bed. Also avoid over-consumption of white sugar and white flour products.

Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® can be applied (minimum four times a day) on unbroken skin around, but not directly on, boils. Flower essences for negative feelings surrounding the problem, such as Rescue Remedy® to help alleviate stress or Crab Apple for low self-esteem, negative body image, and feeling toxic.

Herbs: A blend of the tinctures of echinacea, cleavers, and yellowdock in equal parts, taken one teaspoonful three times a day can help speed the healing time for boils. Additionally, drinking a cup of an infusion of nettle, preferably fresh herb, twice a day, can be helpful.

Homeopathy: Bellis, Belladonna, Hepar sulph., Arnica, Silicea, Apis mel., Arsen alb., and Lachesis are all useful homeopathic remedies that can be taken alone or in combination with each other. Phytolacca is another useful remedy, but it must be taken alone.

Juice Therapy: Juice of parsley, spinach, celery, and pineapple may help to purify the blood. As an alternative, beet root juice can also be used, and is a traditional remedy used in Europe to help treat boils.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can all be helpful for treating boils, due to their ability to boost immunity: garlic capsules, kelp, chlorophyll, proteolytic (pancreatic) enzymes (taken on empty stomach two to three times daily away from meals), vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, raw thymus glandular, and zinc.

For boils compounded by chronic emotional stress, also consider adrenal and thymus glandulars, vitamin B5 (1 gram four times daily), and vitamin C (1 gram every hour).

Topical Treatment: Apply a mixture of honey, the oil from vitamins E and A, and zinc oxide to the infected areas. Do this several times a day, up to once per hour. Other effective topical treatments include a poultice of goldenseal root powder paste, hot Epsom salt pack (two tablespoons in one cup water), tea tree oil, or a poultice of one part sesame oil and one part lime juice mixed and applied externally.

Colloidal silver applied topically can also result in marked improvements.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

They are an infection, to stop getting them make sure to...Carefully wash clothes, bed linen, and towels of a family member who is infected with boils.
Clean and treat minor skin wounds.
Practice good personal hygiene.

to treat them at home..


Apply warm compresses and soak the boil in warm water. This will decrease the pain and help draw the pus to the surface. Once the boil comes to a head, it will burst with repeated soakings. This usually occurs within 10 days of its appearance. You can make a warm compress by soaking a wash cloth in warm water and squeezing out the excess moisture.
When the boil starts draining, wash it with an antibacterial soap until all the pus is gone. Apply a medicated ointment and a bandage. Continue to wash the infected area 2-3 times a day and to use warm compresses until the wound heals.
Do not pop the boil with a needle. This usually results in making the infection worse.

Answer 3

I used to work as a RN and I had a boil that I had to go to the doctor for to get it lanced. Boils are no fun.

If you do a search on "boils", "causes of boils", and "treatment of boils", you will get much more information than I can write.

One of the causes can be hygiene, I would recommend washing the area daily with a washcloth and antibacterial soap. Also to wear cotton panties and change them daily.

One of the other possible causes listed was a decreased immune system. This can be caused by diseases or medications but it also happens when we don't get enough sleep and feel "rundown".

Of course the best treatment for lack of sleep is getting enough sleep but I've found that taking 2 garlic tablets a day helps to keep my immune system up to par even if I can't get enough sleep.

I hope the "searches" you do and something I've written has helped. God bless you,

(TMI), Ichthammol Ointment 20%, it's behind the pharmacy counter but is OTC. It looks like axle grease. It will bring anything to a head. Be prepared for a drain situation. This could be a sebaceous cyst as opposed to a boil. If it continues have it checked these can be serious in some cases.

Answer 9

Boil/Cyst

I recall when I was a child around 8 years old, I had what was called in those days a boil, guess it would be called a cyst now. Anyway, this boil was quite large and on my left hip. It got so large and so impacted I had to lay in bed face down, seemed all the know cures just wouldn't bring this boil to a head, so my Aunt was called in, she quietly said, go to the upper pasture and cut me some large prickly pear cactus and if at all possible, get the one that is blooming. This was done, she took the bloom of that cactus and smashed it into a pulp, she took the thines off the prickly pear, slit the leaf like cactus open, exposing the inside. she then took the pulp of the bloom and smeared this on either side of that cactus section and placed this on the boil, she took cheesecloth and wrapped it around my body to keep the cactus in place. She changed this one more time and on the third day the boil had come to a head and soon drained. Wasn't long before I could walk again. I still have a large indention on my hip where that boil was, but no scar and no other effects from that. I don't know that that the prickly pear cactus was what cured me; I don't even know if there is any medicinal value in these cacti; maybe it was not the time for me to die, and God stepped in. However, I think it helped, for I can still remember how cool and soothing it felt almost immediately after it was placed there. Willa Dean “Dee” Sides

As children we listened to our father tell about his WWI experiences -- one story concerned a soldier in his outfit who developed a very large and painful boil on the back of his neck. After reaching the point where it was considered "ripe", the treatment consisted of filling an empty wine bottle with boiling water to heat it up, emptying it and immediately pressing the open neck against the boil. We loved the gross description of how the contents of the boil erupted with an audible smack against the bottom of the bottle! Dorothy




Burdock Root: I had lots of boils when I was young. When I was about 12 years old, my grandmother told me to dig some burdock root, and boil it for a tea and drink a cup full. I went down by the pig pen where lots of it was growing, dug it up, and tried to drink the tea, but I could drink only half a cup, and decided it was worse than the boils. In a few weeks I noticed I didn't have any more boils, and haven't had any since. After that I haven't been so skeptical about herbal cures. Leon Plemons

My grandmother gave us sulfur and molasses for spring time purification of the blood to help combat boils, etc. Joanne H. Boswell

My French-Canadian grandmother had more than her share of memorable cures but that which I remember best was the application of a tiny bit of tomato avec skin on a boil or pimple that would not come to a head, held on by tape, or later a Band-Aid. Generally within 24 hours said pimple was "ready for popping." Howard E.Congdon

The thin skin of an egg to remove splinters, to bring a boil to a head, etc. Roy D. Hurley

Bacon poultice, was used for splinters and Boils, you took a piece of salt pork and a clean rag placed a piece of Fat salt pork over your Splinter or Boil and most of the time it was gone or come to a head by morning ...I remember my Granny doing this to me and it worked ... Verna

Two methods I recall for bring Boils to a head were the application of bacon rind or slab salt cured bacon and (no longer available) a black natural icthiol ointment. I have no idea what the source of that ointment was, but "icthi" sounds fishy. Charles Diltz


A kind reader sent additional information for this one. He/she writes:
I still use this stuff
New name
Ichthammol Ointment 20%
Mfg. Goldline Labs
Miami FL

Removes splinters, good on bug bites, Tick bites
I put on Tincture of Iodine and than Ichthammol Ointment on a Band-Aid for a few days. Haven't had lyme disease sense I started doing this. Had it two times before, But, Maybe I just have immunity or been lucky. Talpaulfl

I've been told the 'Ichthammol Ointment' is actually made from fossilised fish bones.. my mother (Hungarian) always had it on hand for any infection type wound as it has a drawing poultice type effect...reason it was always used on splinters etc to draw them out... I still use it and always have a small jar on hand... so it seems this remedy is known world wide... Kathleen Hollan



I have cysts come up on me all the time. The Dr. told me that I don't have what it takes in my body to fight them off. As they begin to come to a head, and are really painful, I boil a tea bag. When it gets just cool enough to squeeze some of the liquid out, I place it over the cysts and put a heating pad on top of the tea bag. In just about an hour or so at the most, the cysts pops, and what a relief. It works for me everytime. Good luck with yours. Debi Evans
My 1st husband's Father used to take a coke bottle blow cigg. smoke into it, cover quickly with finger, then but it up to boil/cyst & hold it there for a few minutes, and all of a sudden the core would burst out and hit the bottom of coke bottle. When my husband got them, he'd blow smoke in bottle, have me cover it quickly, and apply to area, and it worked every time. Nyla

For boils use a regular can of deodorant spray on the infected area and leave alone if its not to a head to bust it will draw it you may have to do this 2 or 3 time at the most it will bust and you wont feel it works great. Rose L.


For boils, slice a piece of potato, leaving the skin on and apply the sliced part on boil, cover with a band aid. Do this at bed time. The next morning it will have popped or be ready to pop. The moisture in the potato is what draws it to a head. Works evey time. Jim Lane


My grandmother would heat milk up, soak bread in the hot milk and lay it on the boil, wrap a cloth around andlet it set a while, sometimes overnight. It was like a drawing salve and seem to do the trick. BootsAs a child, I got lots of boils around my vagina. My mother (a coal miner's daughter, like Loretta Lynn! :) )stopped buying commercial bubble baths like Mr. Bubble (she claimed they caused infections or made themworse) but instead poured a little dishwashing (yes, dishwashing!) soap under the tap to make bubbles in mybath. This lessened the number of boils I did get.However, when I did get boils, she would make me sit on the toilet seat and spread my legs, then she wouldpour boiling water on a washcloth, cool it to the point where I could bear the heat, then place it on my boil. SheNEVER "popped" a boil by squeezing it, as that would be way too painful!!! After a few applications, the wet heatwould cause the yellow (infected) part of the boil to rise to a point and finally drain, to my great relief. I still don'tuse any soap but the anti-bacterial kind around my vagina, but I use this method when I (very rarely --- say, onceevery two or three years) get a boil there. RhondaThe American Journal of Medicine states that these are common in "young, healthy adults." The best solution(I have found out after having nearly 20 in 2 years), is to gring peach tree leaves to a pulp and place them on aslightly damp, warm gauze. leave it on all night, and the boil will come to a head in the next day or so. Also, youcan heat a wet rag and place about a teaspoon of either baking soda or cornstarch and let it set. Casey
