Tea tree essential oil has excellent antibiotic, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties, which all help boils heal well. To use this method of naturally treating boils, patients should start by gently washing the boil and its surrounding area with warm water. They should then put a few drops of tea tree essential oil directly on the boil and rub in. If the tea tree oil is irritating, individuals can try diluting it with warm water. Once the tea tree oil is applied, individuals should cover the boil with an elastic bandage to let the oil soak into the affected area effectively. They should also wash their hands thoroughly after touching the boil, so the infection does not spread.

Garlic contains several active ingredients including alliin, allicin, and ajoene, which are responsible for its natural antibiotic effects. It also has stellar antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties, making garlic an excellent choice for treating boils at home. Individuals looking to try this remedy should start by crushing two to three fresh garlic cloves using the side of a sharp knife. Once crushed, the garlic should be combined with water until a paste is formed. Patients can apply this paste to the boil and wrap a bandage over the area to secure the paste so it has the intended effect. Eating cooked or raw garlic is a great way to fight the infection from the inside out as well.
