I just want to say that the remedy that uses the pop bottle and the hot water really works, I had one and it drew all of the puss out right away......
I had a painful boil inside my nose. I made a paste with turmeric powder and castor oil and applied it with a Q-tip and it disappeared in 3 days.
Take some honey and apply it generously to the boil. Use some gauze and tape to keep the honey from oozing all over the place. This worked for my husband. Somehow the honey draws out the pus. You don't have to squeeze anything out; the honey does it for you. You may feel burning sensation but nothing bad.
Pour black strap molasses into a tablespoon & sprinkle with cream of tartar. Ingest this at least twice a day & the infection from the boil will be gone in 2 days
This works better for acne than boils, but it should prove beneficial. Take the raw yolk of an egg an place it in a cup; using a cotton swab, break the yolk and dab raw yolk on the infected area a minumum of twice a day. Allow it to dry completely, then wash off with soap and water. The egg yolk posesses all of the antibodies needed to ensure a healthy chick; so why should it not kill harmful viral and bacterial infections? Works like a charm!
