Tips for treating abscesses and boils

Abscesses, boils:
Upon onset:

• Belladonna 30K: pain – redness – swelling (puffy appearance). Radiating heat.
• Apis 30K: rapid onset of pink swelling and inflammation. Pain improved by the application of cold to affected area.

Once pus appears, recourse to two important treatments is necessary:

• Hepar Sulfur 6K to drain pus outside the body.
• Pyrogenium 30K: homeopathy’s “antibiotic” to prevent the spread of the infection.
• 3 granules of each remedy, 3 to 4 times a day. Alternate both remedies throughout the day.
• Finally, Silicea 30K can be taken to complete the treatment in cases of ongoing or chronic suppuration.
  

Topical treatments: Gargle with a blend of Calendula and Phyolacca mother tinctures or apply it directly to the affected area. Dilute one tablespoon of the mixture into a bowl of warm water. Repeat treatment several times a day.

Complementary treatments:
