Home Cure for Boils

There are many effective home cures for boils. Following are some of the most beneficial cures:

  • The best cure for boils is application of heat through heat strokes or hot packs on the affected area. Heat application helps in increasing the blood circulation to that particular area which eventually fights off the infection.
  • Use an antiseptic or antibacterial soap to reduce frequent occurrence of boils by reducing the chances of hair follicle infection.
  • Garlic and onion are most effective for curing boils. Extract juice from garlic or onion and apply topically on the affected areas to ripen, break and drain out boils.
  • Fresh bitter gourd juice is another effective treatment for breaking and draining boils. You can add few drops of lemon juice to this juice and drink on an empty stomach.
  • A mixture of milk cream, vinegar and a pinch of turmeric is also a useful cure for boils. Apply this mixture over the boils to ripe the blood boils and heal them without becoming infected.
  • Form a paste of ground cumin seeds and apply on the affected area.
  • You can try using a coated betal leaf on the boil. Coat the layer with castor oil and place over the inflamed area. This will help in rupturing and draining the boil.
