Answers:

To draw out anything, including glass shard or gravel from wound the best is castor oil. You need to apply on the area and stick a big band aid over it. Or soak some gauze in the oil, and secure it over the area with some bandage. The idea is to hold the oil on for an extended period of time, couple hours or so. Then when the boil been drawn out, add some antiseptic cream to prevent further infection. Health Question & Answer

Poultices can be made from almost any herb. They are packs of powders or dried or fresh herbs, enclosed in a muslin bag or within the folds of a piece of flannel or thin linen (man's handkerchief) and soaked in boiling water. Use only as much water as needed to thoroughly dampen the herb & cloth. Marshmallow root and Slippery Elm bark are good to draw pus from an abscess. May have to leave it in place for 2 to 3 hours. Repeat if necessary.Health Question & Answer
