Health & remedies : Boils or abscesses

Do you often find that you have boils or abscesses for weeks at a time? You don’t have to wait until they are large and painful, treat them at the first sign of a problem and at any stage after as well.

Most abscesses or boils will start as an ingrown hair but there can be other skin problems that might make them appear as well. Here is what you can do for relief quick: Using two tablespoons of honey, the yolk of a small egg and two or three tablespoons of flour, you should mix the honey and the egg together first, and then add the flour, just a little at a time until you have made a thick paste. Apply this over the boil area, and a little around on the surrounding skin, cover with a fabric bandage and let this on overnight while you sleep or longer if possible. Repeat this a few nights in a row and you will notice that the boil will start to give way and you won’t be forced to have it bother you as much.

If you are at home all the time and you can continue to wear the paste all day as well, be sure to change it in the morning and at night so the healing process will continue.
