Boils, Burns and Bruises

Boils can be easily treated at home without the help of a surgeon’s knife. Pound a little LINSEED (ALSI) to a fine powder and set aside. Then take a teaspoon of flour and fry it in a little oil to a golden colour.Add ground Linseed along with a tablespoon of water.Keep on stirring until the mixture turns thick.Remove from fire and place the mixture in a clean strip of cloth. Foment the offender with the mixture.When the mixture turns bearably hot, spread it over the cloth and bandage it around the boil.Within a day or two the boil will burst giving instant relief.Clean the boil with warm water to which a little boric powder has been added, then apply sulphur ointment and bandage.Clean the wound and apply the ointment daily until the wound heals.

For a deep cut fill the cut nicely with boric powder.Then heat a tablespoon of mustard oil ,add about half a tespoon of turmeric powder and a small ball of cotton wool. When the cottonwool absorbs all the oil remove from fire. Cool until bearably hot,then cover the cut with the cottonwool. Cover cottonwool with beetle leaf and bandage nicely. Do this regularly for a few days if you want your wound to heal nicely.

If any part of the body is scalded by hot water,there is no need to panic.Just take a little honey or milk and apply it liberally to the burnt portion. This treatment will relieve the painful smarting and prevent formation of blisters. It also produces rapid healing of the burnt area.
