How to cure abscess at home?
So you’ve found yourself with a pesky abscess, huh? Fear not my friend, for I am here to help you navigate this tumultuous journey of healing. Let’s get started!
First Things First: What is an Abscess?
Before we dive into the cure, let’s familiarize ourselves with what exactly an abscess is. An abscess is essentially a pocket of pus that has formed beneath the skin as a result of bacterial infection. It can present itself in various forms such as boils or furuncles and can often be painful to the touch.
‘Doctor’ Google Strikes Again
When faced with any ailment these days, our immediate reflex is to consult Dr. Google (bless his heart). While it may seem like an easy way out, resist the urge! The internet is full of misinformation that could potentially worsen your condition instead of helping it.
Shall We Start Cooking?
Say goodbye to boring meals because we’re about to cook up some remedies for your abscess right from your kitchen:
1) Salt Water Solution
Ingredients:
– Table salt
– Warm water
Procedure:
1) Mix two teaspoons of table salt in one cup warm water.
2) Soak a clean towel or cotton ball in the solution and apply it gently over the affected area.
3) Keep repeating until symptoms subside.
2) Turmeric Paste
Ingredients:
– Turmeric powder
– Lukewarm water
Procedure:
1) Mix one teaspoon turmeric powder with enough lukewarm water till paste consistency is achieved.
2) Apply generously on affected area and wrap lightly with gauze or bandage.
3) Leave overnight then wash off in morning (We hope you don’t spend hours counting sheep).
3) Garlic Poultice
Ingredients:
– Fresh garlic
– Olive oil
Procedure:
1) Crush fresh garlic into a paste and mix with olive oil to form evenly textured poultice.
2) Apply on abscess, avoiding live tissue if possible.
3) Wrap lightly in gauze or bandage and leave for few hours before removing.
Can’t Get Enough of Those Essential Oils
While essential oils are having their moment in the limelight, it’s crucial to exercise caution while using them. Please don’t go all Mad Hatter and overdo it; some essential oils can cause skin irritation when used without proper dilution.
1) Tea Tree Oil
This versatile individual will not only provide relief from the symptoms of your abscess but also serve as an anti-bacterial agent thanks to its terpinen content. However, make sure you use diluted tea tree oil instead of applying directly onto affected area. If burning sensation occurs then stop immediately!
2) Eucalyptus Oil
This aromatic oil is great for soothing pain caused by inflammation resulting from abscess formation beneath skin. Again use sparingly! Mix eucalyptus oil with carrier oil like coconut or jojoba at 12 drops per ounce of carrier (Oil tycoon? Nah!)
Let Food Be Your Medicine
Did you know that certain foods have antibiotic-like properties? It’s time we pay homage to these lifesavers masquerading as chow down favorites:
1) Manuka Honey
One spoonful of this liquid gold boasts antibacterial properties capable of waging war against bacteria causing pesky infections including Staphylococcus aureus. This creamy indulgence is best consumed twice daily.
2 ) Cranberries
If cranberry juice was reserved just for UTI infections then think again! These little tart bundles are equally effective against bacterial growth creating havoc under your skin. Consume a glass of juice daily.
And if you’re looking for the guac to your tortilla chips or hummus to your pita bread then dig into:
– Garlic
– Coconut oil
– Ginger
Homeopathic Medicine: Dilution is the Solution
Homeopathy may have its fair share of doubters but it’s been known as an effective potentized treatment for many ailments including abscesses.
Hepar Sulphuricum 30C
This is thought to be particularly useful when your abscess has deep-seated inflammation accompanied by pus accumulation, which causes pain even on slight touch. Pop in one pill under tongue thrice daily without eating anything half hour prior and post consumption. (Rinse that mouth! Cleanliness people!)
Belladonna 30C
This remedy helps with intense burning pain associated with redness and inflammation around the abscess area. Take same doseage above, however avoid touching homeopathic pills directly (Maaaagic).
Keep Calm And Carry On
Lastly and most importantly, try not to stress out over something like an abscess just brewing below skin surface! Aside from following remedies mentioned above, rest is key during recovering phase (do nothing except Netflix). Remember that proper hygiene maintenance can prevent recurrence in future so don’t forget basic (we mean basic) cleanliness rituals like washing hands before applying treatments or using separate towels exclusively for affected part.
So there you have it folks – everything under your nose needed to combat pesky little troublemakers known as Abscesses (-cue superhero music). Just remember we’ll always be rooting for those who keep fighting through their maladies real or imaginary because let’s face it sometimes laughter really IS the best medicine!
