How to dry up a boil on the body

Sometimes we end up having boils on the body which come up for no apparent reason. They are slightly painful, red and might even be starting some pus formation. Here is an easy method that has worked.

CARE : THIS HAS NOT BEEN TRIED ON THE FACE.

Anyway, for the body, take some dry turmeric powder - haldi - in a small bowl, say quarter to half a teaspoon. Add some water - say 1-2 teaspoons - experiment on the amount / consistency as you go along. Take a bit of cotton wool, dip this into the turmeric  paste / water, and apply directly to the boil. Remove the cotton wool and let the area air dry.

Repeat during the day - say four to five times. And hey - presto, you should find that the boil has dried up.

Do let me know if this works for you.

Heal internal wounds with turmeric

Ever fallen down and ended up with an ache in the body but no obvious wound. Turmeric works wonders.

Heat some milk - add sugar to taste if you want but this is not a requirement. Into this, stir in turmeric powder, say half a teaspoon, and drink it. Once, maximum twice, a day. You can take this even if there is an external injury which you are treating this with other medicines, healing will be much faster.

Incidentally milk does not suit me so I reduce the milk - I take it with even two tablespoons of milk. Otherwise it will work even with warm water. Here the quantum of turmeric powder may require to be reduced.

But remember, the trick is that the turmeric powder should be raw, and should be added after the milk has been heated.
