Boils are very large grains that are formed due to an infection acquired in the skin, which does not spring to the surface unless they are open or helping them to burst, although in many cases this remedy is not recommended for certain types because the infection can spread through the skin and cause more outbreaks.

Why do the boils appear?

The boils are formed due to an accumulation of toxic substances within the body. When the intestines are not functioning properly and / or food is of poor quality, often harmful substances accumulate in the intestines, which often do not give adequate to remove.

The accumulated toxins then pass into the bloodstream and reach the skin, which becomes red and forms a small lump, a sign that the toxins accumulated in the area are trying to get out. These substances gradually accumulate to form the grain or infection, which increases the grain size considerably, it is usually painful. When you have many boils on the skin then you have what is known as Anthrax, a Staphylococcal skin infection of suppurative character.

The places most affected by boils are the face, underarms, column at the height of the lower back, thighs, armpits and buttocks.

How to cure and prevent its spread?

Intestinal Debug: to cure boils from the cause that generates them and actually have a cure, is essential to take into account quality food. It is recommended a deep cleansing diet to cleanse the blood and intestines of chemicals and toxic gases. There are several types of cleansing diets as the diet of the grape, orange, syrup, lemon, etc. The one of the syrup, for example, involves taking a drink made with essential nutrients for a certain time. The grape diet consists of eating white grapes or red for three days, you have to eat more than you can. You have to drink two liters of water a day to facilitate cleaning. When finished doing this diet, you have to start eating slowly for three months and eliminate animal meats and dairy products (cheese, cream, etc.), refined sugar and derivatives, (soft drinks, canned goods, etc. ). You should also eliminate fried meats and animal fats, except for fish.

    Boils can be a real problem if you have them for a long time and especially when you are young as your self esteem can be reduced producing even more boils so I really recommend attending this problem as sooner as possible because they can leave you marked outside and inside too

    Excellent remedies! They are all very natural, and sound very effective. I have known for quite some time that garlic is an effective antibiotic that is safe to use on the skin, but I didn’t know that onions were too! Is there any specific onion in particular that would be the best to use for acne? Thanks so much for the great information.
