I'm on my second day of the regimen and although the taste is a little gag inducing the first time around, my boil has reduced in size and the inflammation is slowly subsiding. My boil didn't burst yet and I don't think it's going to. Either way I can finally sit comfortably after 5 days. Thank you!!!!

I am a 24yr old black male. I have suffered from minor to severe boils for 3+ years now. I've been to the emergency room almost 10 times and was hospitalized for 3 days and given antibiotics through IV due to a large boil that covered most of my jaw area. I've had boils pretty much everywhere...inner thigh, inner buttocks, underarms, beard area. I've taken several antibiotics which have mostly helped with healing but no prevention (dicloxacillin, cephlex, ciprfloxacilin etc..). I was scared and ran tests (aids, cancer etc.) The doctors came to the conclusion that a have a chronic case of folliculitis. I could have saved thousands of dollars and extreme pain if I had found this site a long time ago. TURMERIC WORKS! I can't believe it, what are the doctors doing and why havent they picked up on it because I have seen 3 dermatologists and 3 different doctors...all had the same responses and recommendations for medication, which never successfully supressed my outbreaks. Never mentioning turmeric. I started taking the spice with water (which is the most disgusting f**king thing). Even when i do feel a sensitive area trying to form it usually goes away in 24-48 WITHOUT swelling and opening!!! If there's anyone that has experienced remotely to what I have with boils know how painful they are and how big they can get. Words cannot explain how happy I am that i found a SPICE that in my book has damn near cured my situation. Even scarring on my face from past boils is going away. Words cannot explain how happy I am. Also, in my case,i no longer eat spicy foods because I realized that after eating too much I would feel boils trying to form. If you've yet to try turmeric or have a boil right now and cant deal with the pain. I've found that taking alleve helps the most (muscle relaxer/pain reliever). WAY better than aspirin. So until I find this i dont need to take turmeric to prevent boils...I will be taking it forever.

After reading the comments about turmeric and boils on your website, I bought a bottle of turmeric pills. I had a recurring boil and a couple of new boils at the time...well, within a few hours, the new ones were draining/getting smaller!!! It is now a few days later and my old boil is gone as are the other ones!!! thanks!!!

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!!!!

Turmeric for a boil... I had a boil that came back for the third time. Right on the rim of my a--. I mean deep in the crack right next to the rim. I thought it might be a hemroid the first time but realized it was a boil by the second. Each time is starts small but painful, and grows fast. Usually I have to wait for 4 or 5 days until it gets to a point where the pain is so bad I can barely move. I apply a hot compress for another day or so and finally when I think it i need to see the doc, it opens up and drains the foulest liquid on earth.

This time I researched on the web the 2nd day to see if there was something I could do at home to help. TURMERIC. I rushed to the market and got a $5 bottle of turmeric spice, powder form. Took a teaspoon at 8pm and another at midnight. didnt sleep much cause the boil growing like a volcano on steroids. Got worse all night, hot showers and hot compress. Another teaspoon at 9am and another at noon. 4 pm, I get up to heat some more water for my hot towel regiment and... Bamb... felt the instant relief drainage. I can only imagine the relief of a woman giving birth, but its close. I have never had a boil go through its cycle so fast, not even close. It did get worse for me until it came to a head but let me say that the amount of time, and pain, was soooo much faster. For me it accomplished in 24 hrs what has taken 3-6 days. 36 hours later, as I type this, I am pain free and feeling like a reborn soul. Thank You guys!!!

Make sure to take care of the boil post eruption. Antibacterial soap, neosporin or some king of antibacterial ointment, and a bandage. Keep doing this until it heals. This way you get a healing process from the inside out and will minimize the chances of reinfection.

My experience, my thoughts and my belief in turmeric... Hope you have the same results!!!!

Hi All - esp. Wendy,
I had a very nasty sty on my upper eyelid for some days before discovering the TURMERIC CURE here @ EARTH CLINIC. I immediately diluted a little in warm water in a liqueur glass & bathed my eye with this - holding the glass very close to my eye to prevent spillage. I kept it in place for a minute or less, and VOILA! within hours (can't recall how many) the sty reached a head & burst on its own. I helped to drain it using hot water on cotton wool & the little that remained disappeared within the next 24hrs. THANK YOU EARTH CLINIC & to everyone that has kindly contributed their testimonials as well! TURMERIC really works like MAGIC! Thanks GOD too for this AWESOME gift! :)
Love, light & healing ALL,
@nnie

I've had an excruciatingly painfull boil for about 5 days. After taking 1 teaspoon of turmeric 3 times a day, the boil has just open up started draining like you wouldn't believe. I can't believe how much puss has come out of my body, but it has relieved the shooting pain so much. I'm on day two taking the turmeric, and I feel so much better already.

I should have written long ago but better late than never. I had a big boil that looked like a giant pimple on my middle finger just below the rim of the nail. It did look ugly and I'd put a bandaid over it when I went out. Sometimes it would kind of burst and leak some ugly stuff. I looked on this board and a lot of people were saying to use turmeric either as a pill or a make a compound. I was ready to try anything that sounded safe. So off to the store I went and bought a bottle of Turmeric and took 2 or 3 and followed the regime. I swear to God in 3 or 4 hours the boil was down to half the size by the next day it was almost gone. I kept taking the turmeric and still do. Now there is nothing to show there was ever a boil there at all. I did have a flat red spot for a long time but it finally went away too. I highly recommend turmeric and thank all the people here who tried it and talked about it. Now I'm going to try the pickle juice for leg cramps. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for a great cure.

I had a boil close to vaginal area. Looked on line for a holistic remedy....found your site! Bless you! I bought organic turmeric from Uncle Harry's in Redmond, Wa. I took 3 teaspoons a day before each meal in a glass of water. My boil was totally absorbed in three days!

Now, I have a question. My daughter has a cyst under her eye about the size of a large pea. Could a poultice of turmeric and emu oil help on the outside; and taking turmeric for the inside make it absorb into the body and go away? Thanks!

I've had trouble with pea sized boils on my posterior for the last few months. Tried some campo phenique, didnt' work. Tried washing extremely well for weeks and putting on clearasil, didn't work. Then yesterday I discover a huge boil about the size of a half-dollar and I'm thinkign I need to call the doctor and finally give in to my embarrassment. But I looked online one last time and found this site, went out and bought a bottle of turmeric at walgreens. I took ONE pill at 1:00 PM and here it is 3:30 PM and it already drained (not fully, but the pain is gone!). I hope this will eliminate ALL future boils and I'll keep you posted. THANKS!

I am so grateful to have found this site. I do not know how long I have been suffering with recurring boils. Before I would get them in the armpit. They would sometimes be 2 or 3 under there. When they burst, it was horrendous. When I would burst them, it would literally fly right out. And I would squeeze all the blood out. Sometimes the next day there still would be blood. This went on under the armpit for about 4 years. Then I started getting them on my stomach. I never experienced so much pain! It was very painful under my armpits too. Then for a while I didn't get any boils. Now for the past 2 years I have had a recurring boil near my rectum. One time it got so big, about the size of a large walnut. It was very dark red. I was very scared as I never had a boil this big ever! It was so painful I wanted to cry. The night before it burst, I took a long hot bath and went to bed. The next morning, it was even bigger. I was in so much pain, that I couldn't wear underwear. I wore a loose pair of pants to work. I went to the store in the morning before work. My son was with me. When we returned to the car, I said what is that horrible smell? I didn't know what it was. I didn't have anything in the car to have spilled. I didn't even notice that I wasn't in any pain. When I got to work, I went to the restroom. My pants were soaked! The boil had burst. There was so much blood, I had to wear a maxi pad. Luckily my pants were a dark brown, the blood stain didn't show. But I could smell what I smelled in the car. What a disgusting smell! This was the worst ever boil that I have ever had! The boil has recurred several times since then, but not as big. So it fills up, drains, then I'm alright for a while, then the process starts back up. Last week, it started to fill up again and very painful. I went onto the internet and did a search for a cure for boils. I found your website and read about Tumeric. I took the powdered spice, not a pleasant taste at all. I made a paste of it last night. The boil near my rectum has gone down considerably! I feel a lot better as I know the boil has affected my immune system. I am amazed at how many people that I see on this website that suffer like I do. And it has been a miracle literally to find this website! Thank you so much for creating a place where we can go and read about the experiences that people have and share. I will continue taking the pills. God Bless you all!

Hello,

I'm not one to write about my medical woes on the internet. BUT. This is literally a miracle cure for boils. I had a boil brewing on my cheek for about a week. I have a small mole on my cheek, and it started under that, and couldn't break the surface, because of the mole. It kept getting bigger, and redder, and sorer (as boils tend to do) So I found your site not 48 hours ago. Immediately left work to go buy a bottle of the turmeric extract. I took 2 400mg pills right away, then another 2 at about 8pm. I also mixed up the paste some people reccomend. (Don't do this) It stained the boil bright orange, and dried out the surface so much that a full layer of skin came off, making it redder and sorer. But by the next morning it was less painful. 2 more pills in the morning, 2 more at lunch. (I figured it was an herb and you can't OD on it) By 6pm after work I had gone home and was washing my face and the eruption occured. Although the boil was only the visable size of a small pea it must have drained at least a good tablespoon of stuff. Then it closed itself up, and started drying out.

Any suggestions for post boil, scarring, or faster healing. Can you keep taking turmeric daily like a vitamin?

OK, so here is my story. I have been plagued with boils since I was about 18. I have asked doctors, and was always told there is basically nothing you can do to prevent them or treat them once they arise besides your basic hygeine care, hot compresses, etc. I have searched the internet before without much luck. Finally I found this site two days ago. As I sat in my swimsuit preparing to get in the hot tub in 80 degree weather to try to speed the process of a boil that is under my arm, I started reading about Turmeric. I constantly have at least one boil somewhere on my body, so I thought that if there is anyone that this remedy will not work for, it is going to be me, but that did not stop me from trying. So instead of getting in the hot tub, I threw clothes on over my bathing suit and headed to Wal Mart. Not only did they carry the spice, they also had the capsules in the vitamin section. So I get home, pop 3 capsules and make a paste of Turmeric and Neosporin and applied that directly on the boil. Within a couple of hours the pain had indeed lessened. I took 2 more capsules before bed. The next morning (appoximately 12 hours later) when I removed the bandage, I was amazed. It had sped the process considerably, and indeed the boil was drained, and another that had just been in the "hard, red, painful to the touch" phase had progressed to having a head that easily drained. The only drawback was that when I removed the bandaged boil, the skin was very raw, but to me that is a small price to pay in exchange for the relief of the pain of the boil. I am definately a believer, and am now starting to try ACV because of all of the benefits people seem to have with it in so many different areas of their health. I have passed this site to my sister who has fibromylagia. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to give their feedback on these remedies!

Well, let me first start off by saying that to some degree I have always had ingrown hairs of some sort due to my curly hair and African American skin. About a week ago I started getting an ingrown hair on my face as usual, but this one kept growing and growing until it became an abscess and made me look like I was holding half an apple in my cheek. This was very painful and embarrassing so I found this site and read most of the testimonials on turmeric. I woke up the next day (Monday) and went to buy some turmeric extract 900mg (walgreens) right away. Got home and took 2 capsules, within about 4-6 hours the abscess became a bit softer and I burst it. Alot of puss and blood came out then I noticed the the pain going away and it was getting smaller. Took 2 more turmeric capsules before bed. When I woke up the abscess had shrunk to maybe 1/3 from the previous day and no pain. After more turmeric capsules that morning, I started to push on it to release more puss. A nasty puss plug came out and I saw it and almost fainted, then I got nervous and my hands started shaking. I felt a bit better but I had used so much peroxide that my skin was becoming discolored. I decided to go to the emergency room to get some antibiotics. When I finally got into the ER the doctor right away put a needle in my face to numb it then he used a scalpel to cut a bit then squeezed out something. To make a long story a little shorter they sent me home w/ 2 scripts. Overall I would say that the turmeric helped greatly in reducing the swelling and pain. I think it is helping with my allergies too because I was taking benadryl for skin allergies on a daily basis and I haven't needed it since I started taking turmeric. Lastly I would personally like to thank everyone involved in creating this website and making it FREE! Now to find a good plastic surgeon and dermatologist :(

I was fed up with the recurring boils.I never had any in my whole life till i was in India .But when i moved to US i was getting boils in my menstruation periods. I felt like hell, was unable to walk or cook or go to friends party. I was so confined in my home for almost 10-15days a month & no effect of antibiotics instead harmful sideffects hairfall,weakness unless one day i found this on Earthclinic.com about Turmeric....it was like magic & boils almost vanished just taking 2 days 3xday warm turmeric water. Now if i see any sign of a boil i can handle it without any pain. Thanks a lot & god bless you.
