Some boils can be treated at home itself using some simple natural remedies. The first remedy that you can try is vinegar. Take a brown paper bag (big enough to cover the boil) and make a number of layers from the same bag. Then take each individual layer and soak it in vinegar that has been distilled. After placing each of the layers on the boil, tape the layers in place and by morning you will find that boil is or will so be close to bursting. Another remedy that you can use is parsley flakes. Use the flakes to cover the area around and on the boil and cover it with a bandage. You can also treat the boil using a tomato paste. Put the paste on the boil and cover it with a medical bandage and leave it on for the entire night. Another remedy that you can try is Epsom salt. Take a container that is filled with hot water. Take a piece of cloth submerge it in the hot water and then into the Epsom salt and keep it on the boil. Do this a number of times until the boil bursts. Onion can also be used to treat the boil. Cut an onion in half and place it on a frying pan. Let it just a little bit so that you do not get burned when you place it over the boil. Once placed on the boil let the onion lie there until it is cooled.
