• Apply a paste of ginger (adrak) powder and turmeric
(haldi) (1:1) on boils.
• Grind some black cumin (kala jeera) seeds in a little
water and apply the paste on the affected areas.
• Heat black pepper powder in ½ teaspoon ghee until
charred. Use this as an ointment.

bandage. This draws the dirt to the surface of the skin
and simultaneously bursts the boil.
