Eat lots of garlic and drink more water and teas made from red clover, stillingia, burdock and echinacea. It is always important to get a sense of what the boil may indicate. Is it over a particular organ that may be trying to discharge an abundance of toxins? For example, a boil on the chest may indicate toxins in the lungs. |

Then apply some red clay mixed with apple cider vinegar or an albi plaster (available in health food stores). Leave it on until it dries. Do this several times a day. After the boil breaks, apply echinacea extract to the area several times daily. Some boils indicate a staph infection. Take echinacea tincture internally several times a day to help prevent spreading of the infection. |

This is to ensure that the pores are soft and open. With clean cotton or tissue, squeeze upward and outward. If it doesn't come out easily, stop, or irritation can occur, leaving you with a bigger problem. Afterwards, apply some essential oil of lavender, tea tree oil or distilled witch hazel. |
