* Onions are antiseptic and antimicrobial. They draw blood and "heat" to the boil. Simply, take a slice of onion and place it over the boil. Wrap the boil with a cloth. This poultice should be changed every 3 to 4 hours until the boil comes to a head and drains.* Nutmeg is good for circulation, which helps you fight the bacteria in your boil. Make a nutmeg tea by stirring ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg into 1 cup hot water and drink. * Garlic can be applied on boils to speed them along, break and then release the pus. Use the juice, though you can take a slice or two of garlic and leave on boil, secured by bandage. * Parsley can be steeped in boiled water until soft and juicy. When it is comfortably warm, wrap it in a muslin or linen cloth and apply to boils as a poultice. * Turmeric powder applied to boils, helps speed healing process. For fresh boils, roast a few dry roots of turmeric, crumble ashes into a cup of water and apply over boils. This forces boils to ripen and burst. * Bitter gourd, taken internally, may help boils. Take a cup juice of bitter gourd and add 1 teaspoon of limejuice to it. Consume on empty stomach early in the morning, every day for few months.
