Raw Garlic
Garlic is a good source of anti-inflammatory properties that will greatly help treat boils. In addition, it contains anti-inflammatory compounds that significantly aid contraction from the swelling of the bump and drying out the pus. What makes garlic even more potent is being considered a natural antibiotic containing antibacterial properties to help treat skin infections.
Several ways to use garlic as a supplementary treatment for boils: direct consumption is one thing, and another is to pound raw and fresh garlic in a mortar to extract the juice and apply it directly to the boil. Do this for ten to thirty minutes, and repeat the process once or twice a day. Fresh pounded garlic is a good heat source, causing the boil to rupture and eliminate the pus that builds up inside.
Additionally, garlic potency and efficacy double when combined with raw onions. Putting enough garlic extract on slices of raw onions and placing it in gauze to serve as a bandage softens the dead skin on top of the boil, substantially accelerates boil rupture, and helps dry out the pus faster. When doing this, consider changing the dressing at least twice daily.
