I am taking a teaspoon of turmeric in warm water three times a day and getting very good results. Today is day four and the three boils have reduced in size by one-half. The largest one was the size of a 1/4 cup measuring cup.
My question is how exactly are the toxins eliminated from the body and how do I know that the toxins are not just going to another part of my body?

there is a study out of University of Michigan that shows that Turmeric's effectiveness may be due to it's ability to cause cells to line up in an orderly way making them more resistant to infection...

Hi Vee Jay,
Toxins are eliminated through our urine, our bowels, our nose through mucus and out of our skin through sweat or skin outbreaks. You want to keep all of those clear and moving to help the body eliminate toxins and work to keep toxins out. That is not easy today considering the toxicity in our daily environment so it must be taken care of on a daily basis. Eat organic food or wild harvested, drink pure water, do not use chemicals for cleaning but rather natural cleansers, cut out processed food which often has many additives and preservatives and do work on your diet. And remember too, that our skin is the largest organ of our body! So, whatever you put on it- cleansers, soaps, etc. goes into our system as well. This is how you can keep the toxins from building up thereby leading to illness.
If you are not opposed you can also take colonics or enemas to help clear out old waste and toxic build-up which really helps the body and helps ease the liver's work too. You can take foods that help clear the liver so that your liver can be more effective in helping your body. The liver loves water with lemon, dandelion and anything bitter in nature. And Spring is liver's natural time to detoxify!
That's a beginning. I hope this info helps you. And yes, if you don't detoxify then toxins will go to other parts of our body causing other problems.
Take care,
Lisa

I have been taking Turmeric 1tsp in soy milk, 1tsp mixed in yogurt, 1 tsp in warm water (a hot tea). Having some relief from incessant boils in groin area. My question is, can I just take a tsp of turmeric and chase it with juice or milk? Is that okay? Also, is it okay to take turmeric every day and still do my acv regimen?
Thanks to all who post, this has been a Godsend.
EC: For recurring boils in the groin area, please check out the feedback on the hidradenitis suppurativa section here: https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/hidradenitis_suppurativa.html

Still need to know if it is okay to take my ACV regimen at the same time that I am doing the turmeric.
Has anyone had incredible dryness of mouth with using turmeric? I am just on day one, but the dry mouth is almost unbearable. Should I just drink more water or other non-caffienated beverages to counteract this irritating side effect? Thanks, any feedback is greatly appreciated. :-)
{As a side note, I am using this (turmeric) in a broth-like base--chicken bouillon, black pepper, a tiny bit of Tony's Seasoning to make it more palatable, and a smidge of evco for the fat, in a 10-oz. (approximately) cup. MUCH better than the water only mix!!! Make sure to continue stirring, as the turmeric tends to settle at the bottom of the cup.}
I DO pray I hear back, as I noted there haven't been any recent postings...
EC: Yes! Dry mouth can be a side effect as can nighttime dehydration. Drinking more water seems to help.
Am drinking water like a bad dog and the dry mouth still has not eased & am now suffering from constipation (which is HIGHLY irregular for me... Pardon the pun.. Lol). Was using a tsp. 2 x a day in my broth-based "soup"... Might this be too much for me? I am going to toy with this and see if 1 tsp. A day will help as much.
Btw, my boils were originally approximately 4 inches in circumference (yeah, they were BAD!! ), two HUGE ones--one on each breast... And now (two days later) they are about as big around as a fifty cent piece, each. I.. Am.. Amazed!!! I will continue with this therapy til the cows come home, baby! LoL! Just need to find something to help the dry mouth and constipation...!! (If I drink any more water, I know I will just float away.... ) Thanks EC, for the comment back, too. ;-)

The best remedy for constipation I have found is BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES. I take a tablespoon twice a day with or without meals. Increase or reduce amount as necessary until you determine the correct dosage. Mix in a glass of warm water or put in a glass of your favorite juice or take straight as you desire.
Thanks, Jay, I will consider that! :)
I failed to take a full teaspoon today (took 1/2 tsp; forgot the other... Ooops), and just a cpl of minutes ago felt a stinging, and sure enough.. A new boil has claimed yet another part of my breast. :|
This is sooo not fair... Soooo not right... I was trying to ease back on the turmeric because of the dehydration/constipation issues, but noo.. UGH! Sooo back to peg one. Wish there was an easier way to hydrate than drinking so much I slosh when I walk... But I guess sloshing is still better than boils!
Has anyone else suffered from recurrent boils even after starting the turmeric? Is this maybe my body getting rid of toxins, or what? This is so depressing... Anyway, thanks for also allowing me to vent. And I will take some Camembert to go with that 1958 Vintage Whine. ;-) Ty...

Moonlight58, your posts are from long ago but I had to comment:
1. You are hilarious!
2. A pinch of good salt (Celtic, Himalayan) with each glass of water might help the water get into the cells and hydrate better.

Turmeric
I ask because I am taking two 800mg capsules per day, I can't stomach the turmeric powder, I have tried various ways and it makes me sick, so I have to use the capsules. But it seems to be bringing out more boils, I have two on my inner thigh, a huge on under my arm and one on my stomach.
I have been taking Turmeric for 3 weeks maybe a little longer. I also take one garlic capsule a day. My hub says maybe it works by bringing them all out first, but I haven't read that mentioned on here anywhere. Please can anyone give me some advise :)
Thanks, S

I recommend buying Turmeric in the spice section in bulk and then buying empty capsules (they have vegan ones really cheap) then PUTTING ON GLOVES BECAUSE TURMERIC STAINS and making capsules that way. I do that with Turmeric and Cayenne Pepper and take them with food or else you get a weird taste in your mouth. Those supplements could have ANYTHING in them. They aren't regulated and most of the review sites are just "pretending" to be reviews and actually promoting their supplement.

I take 1 tsp of turmeric in half a glass of warm milk with a little honey to taste. (Golden milk). I enjoy it and it is beneficial in many ways beyond boils so why not take it every day. This is enough for me.
Does taking the tumeric in liquid stain your teeth in the same way it can stain your skin?

I use a straw, held further back in my mouth. the only stain is a patch on the back of my tongue, and that is usually gone in a couple of hours. even if i drink it warm to hot i use a straw.

Don't worry about turmeric staining your teeth! I actually read somewhere where someone said they loved the clean feeling of turmeric-brushed teeth, so I tried it! It did NOT stain my teeth, and they felt amazingly clean. I think it's somewhat abrasive, which makes them feel very polished. Turmeric DOES stain my fingernails, but within a few days, that disappears. But, it does NOT do that to teeth!!!!!

After reading through your extremely informative site I decided it was time to post my first question.
I have been suffering from constant recurring boils for over 4 years now, mostly on my inner thighs but the odd one under my breast and I currently have one on my stomach. I am lucky if I am free from them for even a week.
After reading through your site I decided to purchase some Turmeric capsules from the health food shop. I have been taking them for only 5 days but have yet to see any results apart from a couple of the boils have burst. My question is for those of you that have used Turmeric for this purpose how long before you seen the boils stop recurring?
Many Thanks

Hi Swan! When I had my boils (from August last year) I tried everything I read on EC; turmeric, aloe, baking soda, etc. I wanted to let you know what really worked for me was the garlic. I think I started with garlic in December since the boils would always come back. I would break a garlic capsule and applied the oil on my boils(the smell is not so great)and also would take them internally. I also bought Hibiclens wash. When I started doing this is when I noticed a big difference. Today I only have the scars but I am boil free. I hope this helps you on your quest. Good health to you!!!

Hi Lita209
Thank you for sharing your story. I never thought of garlic, I will purchase soon asap and give it a try, I really hope it works as it is really getting me down. I have 4 large ones on my inner thigh at present. I don't know how the Turmeric is supposed to work, I thought maybe it is mean't to bring them all out initially, but I'm not at all sure. But it does appear to be making them worse :(I have been tested for MRSA and it's not that.
Best of health to you too

Swan, hello, I hope that my input helps you some. I had a severe case of these boils and the way I cured it was as follows: I took for about 3 months, 4 to 8 capsules of turmeric, once in the morning, and once at nigh before bed. Also, I drank a large glass of organic-apple cider vinegar and water mix for about the same time, I sipped this glass of water with about three spoons of vinegar throughout the entire day. It has been almost three years since then, and I had one or two very small-pimple-like boils a few weeks ago, which went away rather easily. I learned this remedy in this wonderful site and I still so very grateful. I hope this helps you ... good luck!

Hello, and I have to say I have suffered from Boils for the last four years... I do believe from stress. I have been to the doctor and have tests ran for MRSA and they are negative. I was given a prescription to take then and another to start taking when another one started. It was a few months and one started. I took the prescription and it worked like a DREAM!! I called my doctor to get another prescription for the next one and was told I couldn't get another one unless I came in again. Are you kidding me.... So I researched Boils. I learned of Turmeric, bought a bottle of capsules.... There is a brand out there that doesn't have all the "other ingredients" that shouldn't be there just keep looking. I took it twice a day with food and the boil, instead of lasting over a week lasted a few days. I started to get another one a week ago and took the Turmeric immediately. Only about one hour of pain, never really got big, they used to be HUGE, never came to a head and now.... Almost completely gone. For me, beginning to end taking Turmeric, about three days.

I've never used natural products to solve a medical condition before, but I have to say this one has definitely worked extremely well. I'm glad I found your website.

I had found this site by researching natural flea remedies for my new puppy about 2 months ago. And have since used it to help my family and I many times.
What I thought was an ingrown hair on the top hair line in the pubic area quickly developed into a boil in one day. I saw it on Friday morning Dec 19 and applied antibiotic salve,by that night it was so painful I could barely walk. I read the many tumeric remedies and went to buy some. I started taking it that night, 1 tsp mixed into hot chocolate. YUK! I didn't notice any relief but continued the drink twice a day. In the mean time I also tried the mixing tumeric with tea tree oil and applying topically. Nothing. I also ground up garlic and applied that on a bandage, OUCH!! Nothing. The pain had diminished a small amount, but no drainage. FINALLY on day 5 it burst open and I have some relief. It is still draining and very ugly, the pain has gone down drastically. I will continue to take the tumeric twice a day until it is gone!
It is so much better to take it either mixed in my coffee or in hot chocolate. It tastes terrible and the smell makes me nauseous but I don't stop. IT WORKS!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

To give some background, I am a 22 year old male and have been dealing with boils on my right arm for the past couple months, but this one on my waist just appeared, and will hopefully soon disappear thanks to the wonders of turmeric! Thank you for the wonderful site and information!

This is an update to the turmeric notation made 11/07/09 - As of 11/30/09 I have continued to take tumeric and all lumps from previous boil episode have completely disappeared and scars have lightened with no further outbreaks! My husband developed a second dime sized boil which seemed to appear overnight and in a very unfavorable location. He began taking tumeric at once and I applied a paste of tumeric and triple antibiotic ointment covering it with a dressing which was most difficult to keep in place, a jock support was very helpful! It drained then sealed within 3-4 days at which time I switched to turmeric and diaper rash cream. Within 10 days I couldn't even see where it had been! Much better than the baseball size hole he ended up with from surgery on the previous boil! He says he will take the tumeric over surgery any ole day!
