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 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 :)

I read about the turmeric remedy in August 2007, and decided to try it. I went to GNC and purchase the turmeric capsules. I took 5 the first day, and 3 or 4 capsules days following for approximately 2 weeks and it is gone but a red flat place. I continue to take 2 a day so maybe the boils will not return. I also found the turmeric at Wal-Mart for only $6.00 or $7.00. That's alot cheaper then the health food store. Hope this helps someone to decide. I also took 3 tbs. of ACV (apple cider vinegar) and 2 tbs. of honey mixed in a small juice glass every morning for a couple of days. I refrigerate overnight. The next morning, get a small glass of water, hold your nose and drink the ACV (apple cider vinegar), and glass of water and you won't taste it at all. This does wonders.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

Turmeric is great in the beginning for boils, But, please note that it does take more doses more frequently once they continue to come back in time !I have been getting them 2004 and each summer they get harder and harder to treat ! The first year they were surgically removed because they were so deep and also treated with an antibiotic called Minocycline. This helped temporarily, but once when I was out of town on a weekend, and unable to find medical attention, I tried the turmeric cure from this site. It was miraculous for about 9 mos., but then they came back the next summer extremely aggressive !! It took me larger doses,(2 heaping tablespoons 3 times daily), and they were taking longer to heal, or would just stay down in size without going away for weeks. That much turmeric will have your stomach feeling quite sick along with diarhia !! I finally went back to the doctor and back on the Minocycline, but it also took longer than the last time using it to clear up the staph infection. My son is almost 4, and he too suffers with them, but his immune system is much stronger than mine. He is autistic and the taste of the turmeric will make him vomit, so when he gets one coming out, I just cook something for him with the turmeric in it ! Preferably something in red gravy, (like spagetti & meat sauce). He has never been on antibiotics and I'm trying to keep it that way, but as soon as the turmeric cures one of his boils, another one surfaces in another place on his little body. The doctor told me that it is getting so out-of-hand that pretty soon there will be nothing they can do for it. He told me that the staph that is out there now is a product from our own modern medicine - a combination of many antibiotics produced that have built up a resistency and immunity to everything they have to fight it. It is a growing and most aggresive bacteria that becomes increasingly immune to anything. Sorry to say it, but he may very well be right. I wish the turmeric would continue to work for me, but the staph is starting to get immune to it as well. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated !!

I can't say WOW enough. Turmeric worked wonders for my boil. I had boils as a child but had not had any more until last year, 2006. It lasted a month and I still have a scar and discolored skin on my nose from it. One year later, here it came again. It had been raining for 3 days and I had been at the hospital for a mamogram. Within about 8 hours of leaving the hospital the overwelming pain began. There was no doubt in my mind as to what was happening. I was spiritually led to your web site and read about Turmeric. I couldn't buy any that night and suffered greatly. By morning my nose was red and swollen and so sore. I got some Turmeric capsules right away. Within 4 hours the pain began subsiding and now after 48 hours the boil is gone !!! THANK YOU Is there any harm in my continuing to take Turmeric once a day? I'm afraid to quit.

Last week i had a huge boil on my left inner thigh. It had been growing for several days. Hurt so bad I went to a dermatologist's office but they could not see me for several weeks. I was told to go to urgent care. That same day I found this website. Read about turmeric and was so eager to try it I left work early and drove to a health food store. Bought some in capsule form, maybe 430mgs? Took it twice a day and within 3 days the boil was gone. Got some relief in the first night. Was amazed and so grateful it worked. I will keep some on hand forever as these thigh bolis have cursed me for years. THANK YOU TURMERIC.

I tried a lot of the remedies on the site just from old wife tales: hot towels, peroxide, iodine, and neosporin. All of which helped bring the boil to a head. It even burst a bit but no pain relief or timely drainage. I then came across your site and read bout the TURMERIC remedy. Went to SEVENANDAH bought some bulk powder, mixed it with H2O, took a root beer chaser and went to bed. DID I MENTION I WAS IN INTOLERABLE PAIN? By morning the surface pain had dissipated, swelling is down, it is not as tender and drainage. WE HAVE ACHIEVED DRAINAGE. After just one dose. In all honestly I didn't think it would work. But this has turnout to be the best $.77 cent investment of my life!!!!!! Thank God and thank Goodness for your site. It really saved me. It is unfortunate some don't experience the same results. Maybe they have a resistance to natural meds due to ingesting too many western meds?

Since I was a teen, I've fought with boils. Then I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa about a year ago. My doctor simply gave me the diagnosis and left the room, giving me no information whatsoever. I resolved that I would find a way to at least ease living with this disease. I started looking around and that is when I came upon your site. I tried the turmeric cure and it works! I also had a bit of trouble with sores remaining after a boil would drain. I mixed a little turmeric with honey and applied it as a salve. It heals up in no time! Thanks to all of you, this site changed my life!

All I can say is WOW!!! I had a small sebaceous cyst just below my earlobe for a long time, months, maybe even years. It never bothered me, it was just a small pea-sized lump that was hardly even noticeable. Around the middle of last week, I woke up one morning to find that the small lump had become inflamed, tender and nearly doubled in size. I spent two days putting acne medication (benzoyl peroxide and retinol) on the affected area, to no avail. I began taking vitamin c, garlic oil, echinacea/goldenseal and vitamin d in an attempt to boost my immune system, but I still wasn't seeing any noticeable improvement.

By day 3 or 4, the small painless pea-sized lump had become an extremely painful abscess nearly the size of a golf-ball. I hate going to doctors partly because I don't have health insurance but I also disagree with a lot of western medicine's habit of treating the symptoms instead of the causes, but I recognized that an infection like this could potentially get worse or spread so I made an appointment on Friday for the following Monday to have the boil lanced and get on antibiotics.

That Friday afternoon, I kept researching other alternatives online and stumbled across your site. I figured with all the positive feedback, turmeric was worth a try.

WOW! Within 24 hours, the boil had broken and was beginning to drain. Now, on Monday, I've cancelled my doctor's appointment and I'm still taking 3-4 500mg Turmeric capsules 3 times a day to continue the healing process, but I'm grinning ear to ear because it's now almost completely gone. The pain is totally gone, the abscess has gone down at least 75% in size, and I saved myself a couple hundred dollars in doctor's bills with a $10 bottle of ____________ brand turmeric curcumin capsules.

You and your website are a godsend! Thank you so much, I will preach the value of turmeric for a long time to come. I'm hoping if I continue to take it on a regular basis it will help clear up my persistent back-acne as well. Thank you thank you thank you sooo much!!!! Blessings and peace to you!
