Guide To The Best Natural Remedies That Cure Boils

Turmeric

Turmeric is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory agents on Earth. The active compound in turmeric is called curcumin. In most cases, taking it orally and applying it topically to the boil should clear it up within a few days. Individuals should look for a turmeric supplement containing ninety-five percent curcuminoids. If they are taking it orally, they should be sure to take a few peppercorns with it to aid in absorption. Individuals applying turmeric topically should break open a capsule and mix with enough water to form a paste and apply the paste to the affected area. They may also wish to cover the paste with a bandage to help keep it on the boil.

Castor Oil

Castor oil is great to use on a boil because it helps keep the skin lubricated and fights infection at the same time. It has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Applying castor oil directly to the boil helps pull the infection or pus from the base of the hair follicle to the top of the red bump, moving it out of the body naturally. Using an eyedropper, individuals should apply several drops directly to the skin and gently rub in or apply to a cotton ball and dab the boil. This can be done once or twice a day until the boil is gone.
