Take one dose of an Echinacea and goldenseal combination formula supplying 250 to 500 milligrams of Echinacea and 150 to 300 milligrams of goldenseal three times daily until the boil improves, up to one week. Goldenseal can also be applied topically to a boil for its antiseptic properties.

- Green clay paste helps draw out and dry up infection. Mix 1 teaspoon of green clay with a small amount of water, just enough to make a paste like consistency. After using a ginger tea compress, apply this paste to the boil.
