A boil is an inflamed area, usually based in a hair follicle, and can be caused by a physical condition such as diabetes, acne, or severe dermatitis and can also result from low immunity, irritations, an illness, stress, food allergy, poor diet, shaving, plucking hairs or poor hygiene. A boil usually starts as a tender area, becoming hard and swelling, and eventually softening and forming a head. The head is filled with bacteria and the white blood cells fighting the infection (pus). Staphylococcus is the bacteria that is usually found in the pus of a boil.

The bacteria involved are those usually present on healthy skin, so the boil is an indication of low resistance to infection.

It is advised not to lance the boil, because bacteria can spread to nearby skin and create new boils. Apply hot packs for up to 20 minutes at a time, throughout the day, as the heat draws more white blood cells, thereby helping to fight the infection. Do not cover with a bandaid. Wash with tea tree oil soap and apply antiseptic cream containing tea tree oil. A drop or two of tea tree oil may also be applied directly to the boil. Dab it on with a piece of clean cotton, do not rub or otherwise irritate the boil.

Procedure to be followed periodically throughout the day: Dab some tea tree oil onto the boil with a piece of cotton to help bring it to a head, then cover with a piece of gauze. Cover the gauze with a damp washcloth, followed by a dry towel and then apply a heating pad. Leave on a low temperature for about 15 minutes. Change your dressing and reapply the tea tree oil. The oil helps bring the boil to a head while the warm compress helps pull the infection out of the skin; the tea tree oil then acts as an antiseptic and antibiotic on the bacteria in the pus. Be sure to throw away the gauze each time, and wash your hands with tea tree oil soap each time you handle the gauze or touch the boil.

Sometimes a boil�s bacteria can spread to a lymph node that is nearby. If there is a boil on the neck, check the lymph glands for swelling and tenderness. You should visit a doctor if this occurs, also if there is fever or lethargy. It's important to learn to listen to your body and recognize when tea tree oil treatment will be enough, and when you need the help of a doctor.

Goji juice is supposed to be the new miracle juice. It is supposed to help your body in many wonderful ways such as stopping heart palpitations, fighting cancer, and providing your body with many of the vitamins and minerals that it desperately needs but is not usually given.

Unfortunately while claims of goji juice research have been done, most of these claims were found on the pages of people who were attempting to sell the juice. You see, it is not readily found in retail outlets. Some of the rich and famous sets have gotten their hands on bottles and proclaim it to be the new miracle cure, but average people have to find a distributor and even then, the product is expensive. One thing we did find, in our quest for reliable goji juice research is that it is sold through an MLM opportunity provided on the internet.

If a product like this is all of the things it says it is: anti-cancer, anti-aging, extra healthy, immune system boosting, energy giving, etc... it would probably be in much higher demand. A startling lack of quotable research is an indication that this is simply the newest energy bar, put into rotation in an effort to make a profit.
