Abscess (Carbuncles & Boils)
The cardinal symptoms and signs of any kind of inflammatory process are redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function. Abscesses may occur in any kind of solid tissue but occur most frequently on skin surfaces, where they may be superficial pustules (boils) or deep skin abscesses. But they can also form in the lungs, brain, teeth, kidneys and tonsils. Left unresolved, major complications can occur, including spreading of the abscess material to adjacent or remote tissues and extensive regional tissue death (gangrene). An abscess will begin to heal once it has drained in most cases. You cannot lance a boil until the head is soft. Pricking (lancing) the white or yellow head (but wait until there is a head) with a sterile needle is recommended. Squeezing is NOT recommended as it can push infected debris through tissue back into the blood and it can also promote scaring. Natural drainage is the best solution, let the body perform the miracle. If the head of the abscess is hard, like you see in the photo, make a paste of IC-2 and Liquid Detox and wrap it over the area. You can add a dab of Healing Salve if you need to keep it as a paste. The IC-2 and Liquid Detox will draw the toxins to the surface and help the boil soften and come to a head so you can lance it for drainage. Once a boil is lanced and begins to drain, Liquid Detox can be applied to a band aid or bandage and applied over the abscess to initiate healing and keep the site from re-infecting. If the abscess appears as an open wound, pack it with Healing Salve to help it heal quickly and with the least scaring.
HOME REMEDY: If you don't have any of the products on hand, and the head of the abscess is hard, like you see in the photo, make a paste of Epsom salt and a little water to keep it moist and wrap it over the area. It will draw the toxins to the surface and help the boil soften and come to a head so you can lance it for drainage. Hunts tomato paste can also be used on a boil to soothe pain. NOTE: Remember that every tooth is located along a meridian, so infected teeth demonstrate a deeper issue with the correlating organ. If boils keep occurring in the same location, check the meridian charts to see what internal body function that point represents and support it with the appropriate remedy. ADDITIONAL! Dr. DeHaan always recommends a tooth be pulled rather than getting a root canal for long term health benefits. More about teeth |
