Boils are infections residing under the skin. They tend to get livid, painful and filled with pus. You can use a home remedy for boils that can alleviate your pain until a professional can treat the condition.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Tape or bandage a bacon slice on the boil. Sleep with it on overnight, and the boil may lance itself. If it does not burst on its own, the pus will be drawn to the surface for easier lancing.

  2. Step 2

    Mix 1 tbsp. of milk cream with 1/2 tsp. of vinegar. Add turmeric to the mixture and apply it to the boil. This mixture draws the pus to the surface of the skin.

  3. Step 3

    Crush cumin seeds and blend them with a little water. Apply it to the boil to soothe and heal.

  4. Step 4

    Cover the boil in garlic or onion juice. The juice of these vegetables has a healing effect, and they can draw materials from under the skin.

  5. Step 5

    Put parsley in boiled water until it becomes soft and pasty. Soak a linen cloth or muslin in the parsley juice, and place the cloth on the boil to pull out the infection.

  6. Step 6

    Soak bread in lemon juice and place it on the boil. Cover with a bandage or cloth and sleep with it overnight.
