13 Home Remedies For Boils

3. Garlic

Garlic, just like onions, contains anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial agents that contain sulfur. The sulfur releases these agents into the garlic. Garlic is perfect for the treatment of boils. In order to use garlic, you should collect at least three cloves which should be crushed and squeezed to release the liquid which should then be applied directly to the boil and allowed to dry. You do not have to rinse the garlic from the infected area as the garlic will continue to work after it is removed. It can be applied twice daily.
