The first line of treatment for boils is topical application of an antiseptic with internal use of immune boosters and detoxifyers. Such remedies are frequently sufficient to resolve the condition. However, in certain cases drawing creams may be necessary to bring the boils to a head, but it is important not to try and burst the boils as this risks pushing infection deeper under the skin. In such persistent cases it may be advisable to seek medical help and have the boils lanced – do not try this at home!

As with all conditions that reflect general debility or a poor diet and nutritional status, a course of multi-vitamins and minerals such as Multi-Guard, One-a-Day Biocaps, or Floradix as well as additional Vitamin C and Zinc are strongly recommended. Please speak to your herbalist for recommendations on herbs to use.
