Home Remedy for a Boil
To use a home remedy for a boil begins with knowing what one is and how it got there. A boil starts as a red, swollen and painful bump. It is usually on a hair follicle. It fills with pus and gets a yellowish tip. It will keep draining until the core is expelled. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection. The most common bacteria associated with a boil is staphylococcus aureus. Embody the three harmonies: within; with others; and with nature. Robert Gilman I have several natural home remedies I recommend for this condition. But first let me say if you eat a good diet filled with fresh vegetables you will heal much faster. So lay off the refined sugar, flour and hydrogenated oils. Add nuts, whole grains, fresh fruits and plenty of water. My Favorite Home Remedy for a Boil -Tea tree oil- That’s it, just tea tree oil. It is recommended you take a q-tip and dab it on the infected spot 2 or 3 times a day. If the skin becomes irritated dilute it with olive oil or almond oil. Keep this up until healed. Tea tree oil is a great antiseptic . It is anti-bacterial. And I guarantee you it works better than it smells. (More on boil compresses that may interest you.) Another Home Remedy for a Boil -Goldenseal poultice- Simmer the goldenseal for 2 minutes in a glass or stainless steel pan. Drain, using a coffee filter. Squeeze out any excess moisture. Rub a little bit of olive oil or almond oil on the infected area. Apply the herb directly to the skin while hot. Wrap with a sterile bandage. I've been told you can leave this on up to 3 hours. Repeat as long as needed. Goldenseal contains berberine, its most active alkaloid. It is toxic to the bacteria that causes boils. It also stimulates the immune system and reduces inflammation. In order to make any home remedy for a boil work you need totake care of the rest of the body too. My belief is that in order to really heal the problem the whole body is involved. Plus the mind and spirit. If you really believe and feel you will heal, you will. You can get any product on this page here. I highly recommend them. I shop here all the time.  Suggested Herbal Support -Nettle tea- a cup or two daily (full of healing minerals). -Burdock root- 1 or 2 capsules twice a day. (detoxifies the body through the skin). Normally when we notice symptoms of any sort it is our body’s way of telling us something needs help. Use this as a good excuse to take a deeper look at diet, lifestyle, attitude, and general well-being. Our bodies are masters at healing themselves if we give them the natural tools to use. I hope you found these natural home remedies for a boil useful. I am always amazed at the simple, inexpensive healing power of Mother Nature.
