Guide To The Best Natural Remedies That Cure Boils

Belladonna

Belladonna is a member of the nightshade family, and as such, is a relative of the tomato and the potato. However, it differs from those two plants in that it is deadly poisonous. All parts of the plant are considered poisonous and even touching it causes a rash in some individuals. Despite this, it has been used medicinally for centuries and even now is found in topical preparations such as ointments and creams. Its usefulness in treating boils rests largely on its anti-inflammatory properties. Belladonna also has analgesic qualities and eases the pain of the boil when it is applied. Since the plant is as toxic as it is, it should only be taken under a doctor's supervision.

Black Seed Oil

Black seed oil comes from the seeds of the Nigella plant. These seeds are popular in cooking, and their oil contains thymoquinone, an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the cells against damage from free radical oxygen molecules. Black seed oil also has anti-inflammatory properties and can combat the infections that often lead to boils. It is also commonly used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne and psoriasis. Ironically, black seed oil added directly on the skin can cause some individuals to break out in a rash. A patient who has a boil should check how black seed oil affects them on a small area before they use it. Again, it should be used to treat a boil under a doctor's supervision.
