If you're wondering how to get rid of boils, don't worry. There are a number of boil treatments available and they're very effective. The first step is to look at the abscess to determine if it is really a boil. A boil will usually have warmth and swelling and will probably be red with a yellow center.

If you do have a boil you can try some easy home remedies for boils. The first has been used by the Aztecs, Cherokee Indians, and Appalachians and involves cornmeal. Boil half a cup of water and add cornmeal to make a thick paste. Apply this to the boil and cover with a cloth. Repeat every hour or two until it begins to drain. Another remedy that's been used for generations is called cupping a boil. To try this, boil a cup or a jar in water and then use tongs to take the cup out of the pot. Let it cool enough that it won't burn you and place over the boil. As the cup cools, the suction will bring blood to the area. Then you simply need to blot the pus away and wash your skin.

There are also a number of home remedies for boils that involve simple ingredients from your refrigerator. Take a slice of bacon, roll it in salt and place between two pieces of cloth. Apply to the boil and repeat throughout the day. Although it can be messy, the fat and salt content will help bring it to a head. You can also try cutting a thick slice of onion and placing it on top of the boil. Wrap with a cloth and change every few hours. Onion has a natural antimicrobial quality and will help draw blood to the boil.

These home remedies have been used for generations and are a great, easy way to treat a boil without pain or money.
