Guest guest Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 Hello Shirley, Try ti-tree oil neat or alternate it with neat lavendar oil.You could do this every hour. I think you need to support your immune system as well with lots of vit C and probably echinacea.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 ---Try a bread and milk poutice. This is an old remedy that draws the core right to the surface. The milk has to be rather warm almost hot for the drawing action to take place.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 JoAnn and others, thanks for the information about BOILS. Now I need to know if its safe to apply the milk poultice on the boil after it has start to drain? Mine has been draining for a couple of days but the CORE has not come out yet, everyday it fills up again with pus and continue to drain as though its going to keep doing this forever. As I said before, I do not want to go to the doctor because he will require that I be hospitalized. Thanks for all the info. shirquinson JoAnn Guest <angelprincessjo wrote:---Try a bread and milk poutice. This is an old remedy that draws the core right to the surface.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Re: BOILS > JoAnn and others, thanks for the information about BOILS. Here's another possibility. delivered this morning from Herbs First Chickweed For itching associated with rashes, hives, and eruptive diseases such as measles, the ointment or wash can provide welcome relief (Sal: 165). A poultice enclosed in muslin is a sure remedy for a carbuncle or an external abscess, bathing the affected part with the tea as well (Gri: 196). For Erysipelas, a streptococcus disease characterized by deep redness and painful swelling, bathe the affected surface every half hour with a decoction of fresh chickweed. Also apply Chickweed ointment to the affected area. Chickweed also is effective for bolls and burns and is an excellent remedy for acne, used externally and internally as an added healing aid (Mal:86). One herbalist has seen the fresh leaves of bruised Chickweed applied to indolent, intractable ulcers on the leg, of many years standing, with decided and immediate beneficial results (Felk: 1835). The ointment is good for piles and sores. It is also effective used against chilblains. Itching genitals and swollen testicles, so often associated with internal inflammations and disorders, will respond to a wash of the strong decoction and application of the ointment. For hemorrhoids, bathe the area with the decoction, infusion or diluted tincture, warm as possible, and apply Dr. Christopher's healing ointment, described below.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 --- Shirley, We had no problems as long as the poultice is put in a sterile pad/cloth. After repeated efforts the core should appear. Apparently there is also an ointment by the name of *sulfathiosol*. we also used this on occasion. Not sure if its still available or not, however.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hi JoAnn, Are you familiar with ichtimol (sp). It has been been around forever. It is a black, tarry looking salve that is excellent in drawing out the nasty bacteria and the ensuing core. My mother was one of those unique nurses who paid attention to what the medical books taught, but went beyond their information and realy zeroed in on cause and effect. My brother an I got a boil occasionally which I thinkis usually a staph infection. Though they would start out innocently enough, they grew in size epth and pain. The icthiol is sole over the counter in drug store and a generous glod over the boil with a light dressing is amazing. My mom used to put hot compressedon the boil area to open the skins poors so the ointment would work more efficiently. Didn't taken long to bring about a boil ready to burst and flush.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 ---Shirley, Another reference by Michael T. Murray recommends tea tree oil in inhibit the spread of pus and to kill the virus and also that showers be taken instead of baths for the duration. As they are infectious the tea tree tends to kill the " staph " bacteria which is the root cause. Just curious to know if this is a recurrent problem and if you are aware whether this is a boil or a carbuncle. He recommends echinacea and/or goldenseal be taken internally for a short period of time to fight the infection.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have had boils before, but just let them heal on there " painful " own. I just thought this was me and not apart of my Lupus. If I take antibiotics I break out all over...any type of antibiotic. I have never paid attention of when I get them, but I did get one last night. I am going through stress right now with my father's health. There might be a connection there???? Sorry that I could not be of any help to you. Blessings, Jaymie Message: 2 Thu, 19 Jan 2006 05:22:50 -0000 " naturallynawlins4 " <casellae boils? Do you think that I am getting reoccurring boils due to the stress caused by hurricane Katrina? I am an evacuee of New Orleans and have NEVER had a boil in my life, now, in the past 4 months, I have had 7! I let the doctors take blood, there is no staph in my blood, and they just want to put me on antibiotics until the next time. Any experience with these boils?
