I have tried some of the home remedies I found here and elsewhere, and especially the ACV + honey helped me. But the turmeric is the best remedy, it's simply the answer to my prayers. I too wonder why doctors don't say to people that there are home remedies that cure boils and related infections. And I too had been having boils for the last five or six years and was taking antibiotics using ointments and even had them lanced to no purpose. I managed to stay a year away from antibiotics with the help of garlic and warm compresses, but a new one appeared and found your site and followed your advices. I bought turmeric a few weeks ago. I want to say a big thank you this is a great site and the home remedies WORK, especially the turmeric powder and the ACV+honey.
Last but not least, most of the boils appear when it rains, right now in Athens we have dust from the Sahara desert which is one of the most polluted regions, it started spreading in the atmosphere in Feb and in Feb it rained and got this new boil. So toxic rain, chemical substances in the atmosphere have also something to do with boils.
To all of you who suffer from these problems, believe us, these remedies work and you will feel better and healthier.

Hello Nic, Where did you find tumeric in Athens ? Did you ask for tumeric or there is another name for it in Greece?

Hi Katerina, it's kourkoumas or kourkoumi in Greek, another name is chrysoriza, I found a nice shop where I live and they are selling spices, coffee, herbs, etc, and ordered it. They brought it a week later. There are shops I think in Euripidou street downtown, but I don't know about the quality there.

I am now interested (and anxious!) in trying the turmeric remedy. I have had a boil on the middle of my forehead, right between my eyes now for over 4 weeks. I have been using slices of potato on it now for a few weeks which has kept the swelling down but it still is there, purple and with a hard nodule in it(never do I see puss in it). Yesterday I noticed that it is going back to getting bigger again and I am at my wits end. I have used lavender oils, hot compresses, aloe, salves and even antibiotics but yet here I sit, still highly embarrassed by it and completely frustrated. So I went searching for more remedies and found this site.
I would like to know though is just how much of turmeric that I should be taking daily and when should I up the dose? Also should I be using a topical on it as well at the same time?
I appreciate anyone's help with this, it's already horrible to get a boil on your body, never mind one that is right there on your face for all to stare at :(.....

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

Anyway 4 years later I'm living on my own and got a boil...I freaked out but hoped maybe it was just one and they weren't going to keep happening. Well I was wrong 2 days later another one popped up. I didn't have the money for the medicine so I started looking online for cures...I came accross this site and that night I made my self turmeric tea and applied it to the boils in a paste and covered it up. honestly it made it feel better but it didn't drain any faster. Still having hope for it I went to pick up some turmeric capsles. I was happy to see they were only 3 dollars for 50 capsles. So I started taking 2 everyday (like it said on the bottle) And didn't get one for a whole month. I decided to start skipping days and do it every other day and still no boils. About 4 months later everyday I feel my body and make sure theres no signs of boils starting. Any little bump and I take 2 pills each day for 2 days in a row and its gone. This stuff is a miracle Im so happy I found it!! I wish I could tell everyone who ever had a boil about it!!!!

In a mug-full of hot water i added 1 tsp turmeric powder. Applied warm water heat to the boil using a cloth. Did this three times a day. And on the fourth day my boil drained without warning and without any pain!
I feel so relieved and elated.
P.S. I am from India and turmeric is readily available in all forms. I used the normal turmeric powder from the store.

I was kinds skeptical about buying Turmeric, but I will be darn! This stuff brought my painful recurring boils to a head in 3 days. I followed the instructions from the site, had my husband stop by the local Publix and pick me up some around $4.00. I took it with Apple Juice after sampling it by itself (YUCK).
I took it internally and applied it externally overnight. The next morning, I woke up, it was oozing pus, blood, and clear liquids. WHOO HOO! I had been in pain for 2 days already. This hasn't kept me from outbreaks but it does help slow them down.
Thank you to all that post on this site. I saved me from yet ANOTHER visit to the doctor.

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).

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.

Lynne, your story sounds just like mine. Shortly after surgery, I have started developing boils. I drank the tsp. of turmeric in 1/2 cup water and the boil came to a head and ruptured. Thanks for the capsule tip. Do you know how much you should take for maintenance dose? I never want another one of these horrible things.

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!

i sure wish i had known about turmeric 8 years ago when my husband devloped an abcess - also diagnosed as a spider bite. he didn't show it to me til it was actually green... and i panicked and took him to the ER. well they decided to operate and some staph got into his blood stream and he never woke up. i wish i had tried clay or knew about turmeric - i would have done both.
also after he died the dr. finally told me that it was staph. they hadn't started calling it MRSA at the time.
i never got any boils myself though.
this can save people's lives. if i had just given him turmeric which i had because i cook indian food..... he might be here today.
