10 Home Remedies For Boils
Home Remedy #3: Castor Oil
Castor oil is a type of vegetable oil derived from castor beans. It is pale and has a distinct odor and taste. Castor oil is used in traditional medicine for various disorders. For hundreds of years, castor oil has been used as a laxative. The United States Food and Drug Administration has also recognized castor oil as a safe and effective remedy as a laxative.
Another use of castor oil, which has no scientific evidence, includes being used to dilate the cervix for induction of labor. It can also be beneficial as a home remedy for boils as it contains ricinoleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties. It can be applied to the boil three times a day until the boil heals.
