WOW. The Turmeric powder works wonders! The end of October I had to go to the doctor for a very large boil on my groin. It left a hole the size of a golf ball. I then went to a surgeon who gave me bacton (the nose antibiotic.), hibicleanse (sorry not sure how to spell these words). The doctor took a culture of the boil and it came back not as a staph infection. I was on amoxcilion to treat the infection. Well, two nights ago I notice another boil forming in the exact same spot! My birthday is on Saturday and Christmas is comming! I did not want to have to go to the doctor again!I Got on the internet and found the website and immediately bought Turmeric powder. I bought it in the evening so I only took 2 tsp of it. I woke up in the morning and the boil was almost 0.00 gone. Today it is gone and the scars from the previous boils I have had look a lot better. I will keep you posted if anything changes. God's Blessings!

I cannot believe this actually is working. I assumed the large lump near my elbow was a boil; it had not come to a head. I used a 1/2 a tbsp of tumeric in water, as I had a cold & a fever & was hoping to knock those out too. Approx 6 hours later the boil is much smaller! (I also applied it topically). I didn't believe I would see results this fast. I am amazed. Oh, & the fever, which previously wouldn't break, was gone in about an hour.

Turmeric Cured boils Had a boil up near the Anal entry (Its VERY UNCOMFORTABLE) and read you need surgery to make it disappear. I thought no way must be another way to make it go away. Stumbled across this site and found turmeric can help. I put turmeric in water about 2 teaspoons for 2 weeks and now its gone! Thanks for this website I know it has helped alot of people including myself. PEACE

Thank you so much for creating the best website i have ever found!! A couple of months ago i was struck with a boil which grew to the size of half a walnut, located smack bang in the middle of my back. I visited the chemist who recommended a drawing salve which i applied religiously twice daily with clean dressings, nothing happened except the boil grew bigger and more painful until it was the size of half a golfball. This was so painful i could not sit and lean on a seat with a back on it, could not lie on my back at all making trying to get to sleep a very painful and tearful process and had to drive my car in a very strange and uncomfortable position as not to let my back touch the carseat. In complete desperation I searched the internet for a natural cure, which i trust in far more than anything a doctor would prescribe. I came across this amazing site and read all about the turmeric cure. It sounded pretty good and I had nothing to lose by giving it a try, except that is for my boil. The results were completely amazing. I decided to try and really blast this boil away. On the first night i drank two glasses of water with two teaspoons of turmeric dissolved in each. Well the next morning i didnt know if i was awake or still dreaming, the boil had lost its redness, seemed to be less swollen and was no longer painful to touch. I continued the turmeric, taking a glass of water with 1 to 2 teaspoons of turmeric three times a day, morning, noon and night. By day 3 the boil had shrunk to half its size and had begun to leak out, within a weak it was nothing but a small raised lump of normal looking skin, and at the end of two weeks of taking turmeric it was completely gone, with no sign of it ever being there, no scar, nothing. I was so happy, i could finally be free to sit, lie and move around as normal, and man it felt good. I stopped taking the turmeric and began living my life again. Then two weeks ago i noticed a lump beginning on my collarbone, hoping it would go away i ignored it but it grew into a boil about 2cm long, 1 cm wide and half a cm high and was getting painful. Well, i reached into the back of the pantry where the leftover turmeric had sat since my last boil and made myself a glassful (the night before last). The next morning i swear it had shrunk to half the size. I continued with 3xdaily turmeric and this morning there was only a slight raised area which is not red or painful. At this rate it will be gone in a day or two and i will be able to wear the nice tops i bought especially for the festive season celebrations without embarrassment. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this great site which has cured me in such a quick, healthy, painless and inexpensive way. If only there wasnt so much money to be made by drug companies maybe these natural remedies would be more widely promoted. Once again i thank you from the bottom of my heart and hope that other sufferers will also benefit from the wisdom of this site. I am today starting on another suggestion i have read about on your site, apple cider vinegar, which i hope will have a good result on acne, will let you know, cheers.

I had a boil that came up on Friday and I wasn`t sure what it was, I did`nt mess with it for a day then it started getting bigger and hurting worse, well, I thought it might be a cyst,I only had one boil before and that was when I was an early teenager.So I looked up cyst and it also said it could be a boil,so I am allfor home remedies,and found this site for boils,well I tried the tomato,did`nt work,tried the garlic,went everywhere to find drawing salve and couldn`t find none,So I went and bought the Tumeric and I drink one glass of it,yuck!So I put tumeric,baking soda,and neosporin ,made a paste like on gauze and kept it on there after 1 day it started draining and now on the 3rd. day of my paste the pain is gone,a little bit of the core is still there ,but I put more on and hope it will be out by morning.My hubby also had gotten a boil and he thought he could squeeze it out and take bleach baths ,well now his have grown in size and spread he has about 2 big ones and 4 small ones, and he is now taking my advice on the Tumeric,We also had some of the spice in some Vegetable Soup. This is the best remedy and I am so glad I found it Thank You So Much Earth Clinic!!!Keep up the good work ,anything is better than paying Dr`s high prices.

I recently tried treating a boil I have with tumeric by use one tsp in my white tea with honey before bedtime. I also made tumeric paste with baking soda 1 tbs tumeric and 2 tsps. of baking soda. I put the paste on a bandaid overnight and the boil that was almost and inch almost completely disappeared. Today I ate some M & M candy with peanuts, This evening I felt my boil flare up a little. I just read now someone specified do not eat chocolate and nuts...I believe it is a no no. Especially if you are trying to eliminate a boil.

I was stricken by a dormant boil/stapf infection (on the side of my nose) last year, went to the doctor, took a course of antibiotics. It got smaller, but never totally went away. A few days ago, it came back with a vengeance after the first appearance of the rainy season. It got hot, red, swollen, and painful. I freaked out because I do not like to use antibiotics unless absolutely life or death necessary. I immediately did a search for a home remedy, and the consensus seemed to e turmeric. I was skeptical initially, but desperation won out. I made turmeric capsules, and popped one ASAP. I noticed the redness and 'heat' subsidided in a few hours. It started draining at night, I put a fresh aloe vera leaf on the raw part, and smeared that with turmeric, too. I kept taking the turmeric capsules with my three meals a day, and today 9day three), it is almost completely healed. I am excited about this, but concerned about the most effective way to prevent future outbreaks without resorting to an extremely bleak diet. I eat healthy, organically, with an emphasis on maintaing alkalinity (organic cultured yogurt, kombucha tea, white tea, golden seal). I do eat crap once in a blue moon, and I am happy about the results of this turmeric. Rock on with your frock on.

... Last year I started to get boils about three to four a month. Started to take turmeric (capsul form)it took care of the boils. I've been taking one capsul every day since and not had any outbreaks until I take a break for a few days from all supplements, vitamins and the turmeric. I then feel a boil coming on and resume my regimine and feel fine after a couple of days.

I have been suffering from boils on my face on and off since I was a teenager, and there has never been anything that could be done except wait for them to go down. They have been so bad that I don't want to leave the house. With a new one on my forehead that was growing and becoming extremely painful, I thought I would do some research to see if there was any kind of heat treatment that would help. I found this website, and tried the turmeric treatment. It is the second day and the boil has come to a head. This never happened before. I would squeeze and puncture the area, but nothing ever came of it. Thank you so much for sharing this safe, easy, and cheap remedy that really works! Now I don't have to look like the elephant man for the next two weeks!

Checked this site for boil help and tried tumeric. It works just as the other posts indicated. After one day, pain and swelling subsides. After a few more days, newer boil gone, older stubborn boil 95 percent gone. I took capsules. Highly recommended.

I was looking online for a natural remedy for boils and came across your site with very little hope but to go the doctor. OMG!! I tried the turmeric powder in a glass of warm water 3x's a day and after the first day seen results. I have had this boil on the upper part of my gential area for about a month after suffering from a yeast infection. It has popped and drained 3x's and still would not heal until I started taking the Turmeric and using Neosporin ointment. This is great!! In the future I will look for a more natural healing process versus running straight to the doctor's office. Thanks again for giving me this option..

I read the testimonials and was convinced to try turmeric for a boil. I had just had one lanced and packed with gauze, and had to take a quadruple dose of antibiotics for ten days, despite which I still developed a fever from the infection. by the ninth day the packing strip was out and the incision was healing but the swelling and tenderness were coming back; either the same boil had a recess isolated from the initial drain or another one had formed in almost exactly the same place. when that boil was almost as big as the first one, and still no sign of coming to a head despite warm compresses daily, i tried drawing salve, to no effect. but it felt somewhat better after one dose of turmeric, and after one full day of taking it, the boil had almost disappeared. the pain is almost gone - only when i press in certain areas do i feel sore. the swelling is totally gone. however, the boil never did come to a head or drain so i am a bit concerned that it has not fully retreated. i am going to keep taking the turmeric and hope it continues to prevent future boils! as a side effect, i did experience diarrhea today. but i am hoping the anti-inflammatory properties will be able to help my colitis and eczema in the future - i wish i had known about this years ago! It's about the cheapest remedy you could ask for, if you buy in bulk. i have been mixing the turmeric with water and lemon juice, but i'm eager to try other ways. it has stained my toothbrush orange :)

Turmeric is a Miracle. Yes, Yes!! I have had suffering from boils for 3 years plus. A recurring one under my right arm (very painful) and several on buttocks. Went to a few doctors but nothing worked to stop them coming. Recently I read on this site and I gave a try to turmeric cure. I should ssy the results were surprising. Within days the presistent nasty boils started to heal and so far keeping on good consumption of turmeric they didn't came back. Alex
