Herbal Remedies for Boils

Boils are a concentrated area of pus due to a localized infection, often around a hair follicle. The main associated organism is usually Staphylococcus aureus.

An herbal program can include immune-stimulating herbs, anti-infection herbs, blood purifying herbs or formulas, an antiseptic herb such as Balsam of Peru, and lymphatic cleansers.
