Hunt's tomato paste can cure boils!
Cover the boil with the tomato paste, rubbing on like a compress. Cover it with a bandage and leave overnight, then repeat in the morning, and again the next night. By the 2nd morning, the boil will have come to a head.
The acides from the tomatoes soothe the pain as well.

I will definitely have to try that. For some reason boils run in my family. I get them every few months and they ultimately end up leaving scars. I am all for something that will bring them to a head and are able to be cured more quickly. Thanks for the information!

They are absolutely awful aren't they? I have some scarring on the side of my waist and on my thigh from them. I haven't had any recently but I am always scared I will end up with another one. I am still waiting to try your remedy!

I would guess that the vitamin C and lycopene would be part of the healing process as well. We shall be healthy inside and out if we use enough tomatoes.

The acid in tomatoes is supposed to be good for a lot of things. I'd be interested in doing some research to find out what all it would cure!
