Allow it to cool and then wash the affected area with this neem-infused water. Repeat this process two to three times a day until the boil disappears.
7. Onion
Onions possess antimicrobial properties and can help reduce inflammation and pain associated with boils. Cut an onion into thick slices and place them over the boil. Secure the slices with a clean cloth or bandage and leave it on overnight. Rinse the area with warm water in the morning. Repeat this remedy daily until the boil improves.
8. Castor Oil
Castor oil has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various skin conditions, including boils. Apply a small amount of castor oil directly to the boil and cover it with a clean cloth. Leave it on overnight and rinse the area in the morning. Repeat this process daily until the boil heals.
