Castor Oil
Castor oil is widely used in many medical and natural treatments. It contains ricinoleic acid, a compound with many powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. You can simply apply the oil directly to the affected area to alleviate the tenderness and swelling. Do this at least 3 times per day until the symptoms disappear. [7]
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is known as a natural disinfectant. It can be used to help clean an infection from the boils when they start to drain. You can simply dip a cotton swab or ball into the solution and then put it gently against the boils. In case it stings, you can reduce the strength by diluting it with water before each application.
