boils

I have a 12 yr old son and he had what i thought a pimple on his back. he asked me to look at it and it did have the typical white head on it so i tried to squeeze the pimple and when i did so much pus and blood came out that i realized this was not a pimple. I felt around and under the pimple was about a one inch ball, looked on earth clinic and read about tumeric, i placed a tablespoon of tumeric in a shot glass and mixed with a little water (regular tap)to make a paste, applied it to the pimple and covered with a 2x2 bandaid by morning it had drained completely. I still did it for two more nights just in case, and it has not returned. Thank you Earthclinic.

After having an abcess surgically drained about 8 months ago, a new boil started to surface recently. I had taken so many antibiotics during my first go around with this sort of thing that I had to find a different way to treat it. The antibiotics made me feel terrible, to say the least. I found your site and thought I would give turmeric a try. I went to the grocery store, bought some in the spice section and took my first dose in a bottle of water on my way home! I mixed a teaspoon with water 2 times that day and 1 time the next morning and after just 3 times I had absolutely no pain in the boil!!! It took about a total of 4 days for the boil to completely disappear. I was so amazed!! Glory to God for giving us nature to heal our bodies...if only the media and government would recognize it. Thank you for your site!

I was at my wits ends. I contacted the staph infection, it seems, from being in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the middle of April when we were at the ocean, but it was the end of April when I had the first out break. A boil on my behind. I had never had anything like this before and wasn't sure what it was. We (my husband and two boys, 14 and 7) were camping when it started to come up. It got the size of a baseball before my husband lanced it for me. By this time I was running a fever, body and joint aches and just felt like crap! We made it back home and to my doctor, who gave me an antibiotic. No testing or anything like that. Just gave me the anitibiotic! The next day, I pulled out this hard lump that I have now found out is like a core or something. I can not describe how much better I felt after that and it was almost instantly! Well, that was the end of April and since then I have had 3 reaccurances and as of yesterday, when I found this web-site, I was working on 6 boils! I was depressed and scared. I went to another doctor when the second boil appeared, who tested me for Mersa. I don't have it, but they still didn't want to give me another antibiotic. They want my body to fight this! I thought I was going to have to live with this for the rest of my life. I'm a very active 45 year old. I was so afraid I would not beable to enjoy the things, like swimming with my boys that I use to enjoy. Then I found this website and read ALL of the testimonies and finally felt like I was not alone! I immediately called my husband and asked him to pick up so turmeric from the grocery store on the way home. I put 1 teaspoon in a cup of warm water. I added a little chicken seasoning for taste. That was at 8 pm. I did it again at 10pm. Drinking a lot of water afterwards! This morning, the only active, painful boil of the six is the largest, but it too is smaller in size. My husband said they are going away. I can not tell you how relieved I am to think that maybe I have found something that will take this away from me. Just felling like there is hope again is a wonderful feeling. I do have questions if anyone can answer them for me? How do some of us get this while others don't. There were alot of us in the ocean that day, including my boys. My 7 year old asked me why he didn't get it. I know this is contagious, but how?

Again thank you for posting this website and I hope and pray that everyone who is dealing with this horrible disease finds this site!

I had a very painful boil under my armpit and tried using the very old turmeric from my pantry without luck and so ended up on two rounds of antibiotics. A month later a boil appeared under my other armpit. This time I bought organic tumeric and applied it as a thick paste mixed with paw paw ointment to a bandage overnight. The boil which hadn't come to a head drained in the night and the boil healed. I also chugged a bottle of colloidal silver over the same 12 hours.

Im back after 2 weeks of daily turmeric use and i must say i am SO GRATEFUL! It hasnt completely gone yet, but it is soo much better than before! I still have about 3 boils on my scalp that just wont go! im trying compresses and everthing, but those stayed there. All the other ones have been clearing miraculously! Also i mixed the turmeric with other natural vitamins, and echinacea pills, and some colloidal silver drops. The colloidal silver seems to dry up the boils during the night and after a couple of days seem to wear off. I feel much better now. Cant wait for it to completely go, so i can go back to my normal life. Thanks everyone and this website.

Thanks so much for the tumeric remedy for boils. I had a cut on my foot that got infected and became a boil. The doctor lanced it and gave me antibiotics, but even the next day it was back with a vengeance. It was worse again the following day, and very painful, I could hardly walk. I found your website, bought basic tumeric powder in the herbs section of the supermarket. At 2pm that day, I had 1 tsp tumeric in half a glass of warm water and again at 8pm. I also made a paste with tumeric powder and water and put a bandage over that, leaving it for about 5 hrs. By 10pm, I removed the bandage, the swelling was greatly reduced and boil had released some fluid (not a lot). The relief really was incredible, I could actually put all my weight on the bad foot with barely any discomfort (earlier that day I was hopping around mostly). So I am a beleiver for sure. It's 3 days later now, and it's nearly better, I am wearing shoes, walking properly and thinking about going for a run tonight. Thanks again.

I've had a life of great skin. That is, until now. I'm 23 and just had my second outbreak of boils. The first outbreak was 2 months ago and I just thought they were ingrown hairs, or irritation due to my use of baking soda as a natural deodorant (which could still be the case). My outbreak was ferocious this past month during my period. I had about 7 large lumps and 3 boils that tried coming to a head. I found Earth Clinic and immediately bought Tumeric pills (450mg) and started taking 3 at each meal. I did notice the swelling go down, but my biggest boil still hurt. I went to the store and bought the powder and followed the directions 1 tsp 3 times a day and WOW! My boils are diminishing right before my eyes! I did use tea tree oil last night and today and my big boil is losing its power! I have been using Dial soap only under my arms to better cleanse the area. I am so thankful for natural remedies, although beware that baking soda might just cause a block-up which will lead to boils!

EC: From our experience too, cheap turmeric powder does appear to be more potent than expensive capsules bought in a health food store!!

Groin Cyst / Boil Cure: I scoured the web for solutions and testimonials for my wife's very painful groin cyst. I found the stories about Tumeric (and many other alternatives) and I suggested she try it. She took a teaspoon in warm water each day over a couple of days and it was completely gone! No trace. We were both so amazed and inspired there are simple solutions around for such problems!

Thank you Earth Clinic! I tried out the turmeric cure for boils--since I don't mind the taste I mixed ~1/4 tsp turmeric powder into a couple bites of food (oatmeal in the morning, cole-slaw, tomato juice, etc.) 3 times per day for two days. I also applied a paste of turmeric powder and neosporin directly to the boil. The turmeric quickly got rid of a genital boil.

I also want to report an unexpected benefit from the turmeric. I have been suffering from insomnia for about two years, and have tried many things, both conventional medicine and alternative cures I've read about on this site. ACV or ACV + baking soda, vitamin D, coconut oil, raw garlic, lemon or lime juice, cognitive behavioral therapy, blue light therapy, and 1/2-2 mg lunesta taken on occasion have all helped somewhat. But esp. in the winter and/or around my menstrual period or when travelling I have continued to have real trouble both falling and staying asleep. One night last year I did a sleep study at a local clinic, and they recorded me being awake for the entire night. They had no suggestions for how to fix my problem, since I don't have sleep apnea. Diagnosis: insomnia related to perimenopause.

The genital boil appeared just before my menstrual period (the usual time for it to appear), which is also the time of the month I begin to have the most trouble with sleeping. BUT, after using turmeric, I've been able have restful sleeps--DURING MY PERIOD!!!--three nights in a row now. This is a true miracle. I'm going to keep using the turmeric (maybe I'll buy some capsules, will carefully inspect for extra ingredients).

Turmeric works really well for boils.

Shortly after having surgery last year, I started having reoccuring boils. I went to the doctor and they gave me one of the strongest antibiotics there is. It made me sicker than I was before I took it. I went back and they put me on other antibodies that worked but it took about two weeks to see results. The boils reoccured and I knew I had to do something different.

While searching this site I saw the article about using Turmeric. I tried it and it worked. First, I put about two spoonfuls in yougurt and ate it that way. It worked but my mouth was a dark orange. While at the health food store I saw some empty gelatin capsules and came up with the idea to make my own capsules of turmeric only. The capsules in the store was twenty dollars. Making my own capsules worked very well for me. Every time they start to reoccur I take about 5 capsules 3 times a day and within two days I am free from the boils.

Eating right and keeping your stress levels low helps also. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION ABOUT TURMERIC. It is the new wonder spice. Thanks also for the site. I am a big believer in wholistic living.

Tumeric really works - no two ways about it! I was truly amazed, and had used tumeric in the past with great success. I noticed my boils on my mons returned pending 'that time of the month' and after a night of drinking. Any connection? Of course.

The boils were so painful, extremely swollen it made it nearly immpossible to walk. They were over an inch in size, I was besides myself, and then remembered tumeric. Took two that afternoon and took another two that night, and by morning, one had already broke on its own and started to drain. Relief was in sight!

I will try the 'core' pulling thing with a pop bottle - in the future should I need to, since obviously the core is still in there. But it is a nice relief to be able to sit, walk, jump or do anything with glee. I will make sure to take one capsule a day for the rest of my life... it's as simply as that!

Just 2 days ago, I had a very nasty boil in my bikini area that literally grew to the size of an egg--it was so painful and large that it scared me. I had boils in this area before, but never this big. This one was not going away anytime soon. I finally I went to the doc and even he was shocked to see its size. He gave me a script for 2 different antibiotics and sent me home on restricted activity and told me to take lots of sitz baths. That just wasn't good enough for me because I knew there was probably something natural out there that I could take to help get rid of it. So I googled "boil" and eventually found this website. In addition to what the doc told me to do, I tried some turmeric powder in warm water(nasty), I drank some ACV tea and put an onion on it overnight to draw it out. I felt the need to attack it from all sides because it was so painful and was making me so sick, I felt like I was dying. In the middle of the night (early Saturday), I got up to take another hot bath and it had already came to a head and was very close to bursting-it was so painful, I helped it along just a little--I know you're not supposed to, but I couldn't wait anymore. The drainage was so foul and disgusting, not like anything I had ever seen (or smelled)before. Long story short, the area remained very very swollen, but I felt some relief and spent all day Saturday recuperating. I took turmeric in the early afternoon and more today. The swelling has gone way down, and virtually no pain. Also, as soon as it popped, I started putting the triple antibiotic ointment with the pain reliever on it and kept a gauze pad on it which I change about 3 times a day. I feel well enough to go to work tomorrow and it's all because of this website. My doc will try to take some of the credit, but without that turmeric to speed things up, I would still be miserable. Thanks a million--I'll be back many many times. The turmeric works.

Tumeric works... I have been getting boils - usually on my leg...and once in a while on my neck. I got a nasty one on my face for the first time. I was going to see a Dr. for some antibiotics, but I drank the tumeric mixture along with heating the boil. It only took about a day for it to drain massively. Already it has flattened out and is healing. This really works! Thanks for your website!!!

Ok....so I don't not believe in herbal remedies...but..... I really did not think the Tumeric would work for me. I had what I felt was staph and cystitis on my chin that would NOT go away..Literally for several months it would get a little better, then pop up again. It never went away.(didnt help that I kept picking at it!) Infection, weeping and scabbing. I bought Tumeric. I started on Wednesday night. I cleaned my face real good, put neosporin on the areas and took a capsule. I took 3 the next day, B-L-D; and on Friday...SWEAR TO YOU, it was 75% better....Today is Tuesday...not even a full week later and I and 95% better! I did get a new spot come up...but I think it is just some leftover stuff that will get out quickly too!!!! TRY IT!!!!
