The perfect boil home remedy. Boils are very painful. They swell, get red and very hard. At this point place a small piece of bacon fat to the sore then cover with a larger band aid before going to bed. By the next morning it will have lanced itself or will have the white head on it to lance.
Signs and Symptoms of Boils
A boil (also known as a furuncle) is a bacterial infection of a blocked oil gland or hair follicle. A boil usually appears suddenly as a painful pink or red bump about half an inch in diameter. The surrounding skin also may be red and swollen. Within 24 hours, the bump fills with pus.
Causes of Boils
Skin boils appear in our body due to various reasons. The most common cause is the climatic changes. During summer months many people are affected with heat boils. Especially, children are mostly vulnerable to heat boils. Some times boils appear due to foreign materials that get into the body and block the body holes.
Boils treatment using Garlic and Onion
Garlic and Onions have been proved to be among the most effective home remedy for boils treatment among several other remedies. Onion juice or garlic juice may be applied on boils externally to ripen them, break and evacuate the pus. Juices of both these vegetables can be mixed in equal quantities and applied on the boil for beneficial results.
Never squeeze or lance boils.
You want boils to drain, but trying to force the issue by squeezing boils, picking them with a pin, or slicing them open with a razor isn’t the way to go. When you do any of the above, you risk spreading the infection. Stick to using warm compresses, which will bring boils to a point where they’ll drain all on their own.
Milk and milk cream:
Other home remedies for boils include milk. It may sound strange, however, milk cream applied over the boils helps in softening of the boils, which opens their mouth so that puss could easily release out. Similarly, take bread slice and soak it in milk. Cover boils with it, after some time the boils will soften and puss will release out.
