10 Home Remedies for Boils

Tea Tree Oil

Similar to turmeric, there are many antiseptic and antibacterial properties in tea tree oil. People with boils can benefit a lot from these elements. Avoid applying the oil to the skin directly because it may create a burning sensation. Instead, you need to dilute it with a carrier oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil. Put several drops on a swab and then apply to the affected area 2 or 3 times a day until the symptoms disappear. Stop the treatment as soon as pain or inflammation occurs. You might be sensitive to tea tree oil. [3]
