Guest guest Posted September 21, 2001 Report Share Posted September 21, 2001 For a cyst or a boil calendula or arnica ointment is very helpful. If you don't know how to make it I will tell t\you Jutta ??recipe for a drawing salve/ointment for a boil/cyst?? > Greetings everyone!! > Just wondering if anyone has a recipe for a drawing salve/ointment for a cyst > or a boil? or of course any ideas about what herbs or eo's would be helpful > in such a product.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 I have one that I learned at the health resort that I attended recently. A potato poultice. Just grate some potato and spread it onto a chux wipe or a piece of gauzy material. Lay it on over the boil, cover with plastic and wrap with a piece of material to hold it in place.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Great burn easer. In fact if used immediately it will " draw " the fire from the burn. Anne ANNE LEE'S www.annelees.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 I have one an old lady on the bayou taught me for a boil. Put a little olive oil in an iron skillet and add a handful of peach leaves (they have a nervine in them). Gently simmer until a little bit limp. Then add enough cornmeal to make a mush. Slap this on the boil/cyst/carbunkle while still hot (but not hot enough to burn, of course). Cover with a cloth. After about 20 min to 1/2 hour, remove compress and apply a glass (the type for an old-fashioned), that has been heated. The first will draw to the surface and soften. The glass will provide suction to draw it out of the skin. Judgment is needed to know when to apply the glass since it would be useless if the boil, etc., hasn't reached the point where it can be drawn out. However, the compress works all the time.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 That is interesting, my Mum used to do that, and I have forgotten it.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Actually, my favorite, cheapest and most effective treatment has always been to apply hot salt water, cover with plastic wrap and then some sort of warm covering like a heating pad set on low. You can leave on all day and night. It draws, cleanses and opens. This is a great tx for a felon (around a nail), too. HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
