Potato use for boils...

Hi All...

I've not posted here at the Iodine supplementation forum before. I have been lurking here for awhile researching Iodine use. May have some questions later...

I had to reply to the use of a potato to bring a boil to a head.

My Granny told me of this many, many years ago and I have never seen it fail to work. I just recently had a boil on the upper left side of my abdomen and used the potato. Brought the boil to a head to where I was able to keep it clean and draining...

My Granny also said that one could use bread and butter to achieve the same results. You take a small piece of bread lightly coat it with butter, then chew it up till it becomes really mushy, place over the boil and cover with a band aid. Do this twice a day until the boil pops open. This is similar to what prism posted.

Good luck on the healing...
