Boils (or carbuncles, skin abscesses) are a type of skin inflammation that is caused by an infection of hair growth or follicles. This is due to a certain bacterial called Staphylococcus from which it lives just on the skin surface. These things usually go away without any special medication but for those who have this problem for quite some time now, here are some simple home remedies that can immediately relieve you from the pain.

Home remedies for Boils

* Extract the juice of an onion and garlic (in equal amounts). Mix it well together and apply it to the boils.
* Combine a cup of bitter gourd juice with one teaspoon of lime juice. Drink this concoction every morning before breakfast. Best for blood-filled boils.
* Create a paste made out of cumin seed powder and a bit of water. Apply this to affected area three times a day.
* Mix one teaspoon of whole cream, one teaspoon of white vinegar, and a dash of turmeric powder. Stir well and apply to infected areas.
