Boils can have long and short term cures. It is essential to get any boils medically examined, especially if they are of the recurrent variety. Sometimes, boils could also be a mere symptom of something more serious, and this possibility is best eliminated early on. For relief from boils, you can make a thick paste of turmeric powder and clarified butter and apply this liberally to the boils. The antiseptic properties of the turmeric powder and the healing properties of butter will help burst swollen boils to provide instant relief. You can dab on rosewater afterwards to provide soothing relief for any burning sensation. You can also apply milk cream or yogurt for relief.
Dabbing freshly squeezed juice cocktail of onion and garlic to boils will help get rid of them very quickly. You may have to continue this for a few days before you see results, however. For a permanent solution, drink the juice of one bitter gourd on an empty stomach every morning. This will solve the problem of boils permanently. A hot bath with a couple of chopped tomatoes thrown in will provide relief from painful boils. This will also help to burst them. In order to cool the area, you can place chilled tea bags on it.
