Question:

What is go for a boil (otc)?


Answers:

A hot poultice will draw the contents of a boil out. You can put salt in hot water, soak a cloth in this, apply it to the boil. Do this as often as you can , and you will find the boil will ripen and the contents will be drawn out within a day or so. I would add some salt to the cloth after soaking it in the hot salty water, just to make sure you get lots of salt.

Honey also has a good drawing effect. You could put some honey (unpasteurised) on a cloth and stick this over the boil.

I would do the hot poultice, then apply honey after that and stick it on with a plaster.

You can also take fenugreek tea internally to aid the process. Get some fenugreek seeds from your supermarket (or anywhere you can get Indian spices). Put a teaspoon of the seeds in a mug and add boiling water. Leave it stand for about 15 minutes. Drink about three cup of this a day.

I hope this helps, and wish you all the best.
