Boils

Boils
1. Slightly roast a big onion on a naked flame. Mash it and mix in teaspoon each turmeric powder and ghee. Apply and tie a bandage.
2. Mash the garlic (lasan) cloves and apply externally.
3. Ground neem leaves into a paste and apply on affected parts.
4. Apply a paste of ginger (adrak) powder and turmeric (haldi) (1:1) on boils.
5. Grind some black cumin (kala jeera) seeds in a little water and apply the paste on the affected areas.
6. Heat black pepper powder in ½ teaspoon ghee until charred. Use this as an ointment.
7. Take fenugreek leaf (methi patta) paste, heat it and when lukewarm, apply on the affected parts of the body.
8. Soak bread in warm milk and sandwich the mixture in-between the folds of a clean cotton cloth. Apply this poultice to the boil and hold in place with a cotton bandage. This draws the dirt to the surface of the skin and simultaneously bursts the boil.
