Draw Out Salve Well I never gave much attention to the old tale of Black Salve until I got a boil ( very painful ). My Grandmother told me to try Black salve now known as Draw Out salve in stores. I bought a tube and tried it, it actually worked within 24 hours. You just take a Bandaid or Gauze Pad and Tape( depending on size of area)with some black salve (it does have an odor) and apply to boil preferably overnight. The next day take the dressing off and wash the area with soap and water. The boil will come to a head and burst, try not to let the pus spread anywhere else for it can actually cause another boil.I also recently received a wound from my cat that got infected and the Black Salve drew the infection out. If you have minor infected wounds, splinters, boils, etc. try the Black Salve.I now keep a tube in my medicine cabinet. Please remember if it's a bad infected area a doctor should be seen.
