Question

How do you get rid of them useing products you usually have in you home

Answer 1

Hi There

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.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.

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

There are often times when a boil will go away on its own without any treatment at all. But there are times when your doctor will need to open up the boil to let the pus drain out. He may also need to treat the boil with antibiotics to keep it from becoming more infected and start to spread to other parts of your skin. During this time you must keep your skin clean. Warm soaks will help and will also help to relive any pain that you may have. A heating pad will also help to relive pain, do not pick at the boil at all for it could become worse. You need to call your doctor right away if you get a high fever, chills, or flu like symptoms, or is the boils start to spread to other parts of your body.

Answer 3

Moist heat promotes drainage. Take a wet cloth and pop it in the microwave for a few seconds, or what I did was take a wet cloth and place it on the boil, then place a heating pad on top of the cloth on medium. elevate the area as well. once it begins to ooze keep neosporin on it to keep it soft and draining.

You can also cut up some pulp from a potatoe and lay it over the boil. Wrap some gauze around it and let it set for a few hours.


You may need antibiotics to dry it up.

Answer 4

I get them, too. I was told I should use DIal antibacterial soap, shower every day, and to change my washcloth and towel frequently. Don't share your washcloth and towel with anyone else.

You should also wash your bedding at least weekly, and, of course, change your clothes every day.

Treating an active boil: Hot-packing it with a hot, CLEAN, washcloth is good. That will help it come to a head. Keep it clean. Don't pop it with your fingers--they're dirty. If you think you have a fever, or your boil is very painful or the redness spreads in a large area around it, you should call your doctor.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Put a warm washcloth over the area for 20 minutes three times a day, speeds up the healing process. Also have a balanced diet. If it doesn't go away you may need an antibiotic like penicillin.

Answer 6

my mom does this and it helps every time:

Cook flax or linnen seeds. As they boil, they will produce a white, gooey substance. Put it warm on the boil and wrap in gauze. it really helps.

Answer 7

My remedy for everything...stick a needle in it and when you're done crying put globs of antibiotic cream on it.
