How to Treat Boils & Cysts With Wheatgrass

Boils and cysts are usually a sub-cutaneous bacterial infection that results in a puss pocket under the skin. Wheatgrass can reduce inflammation and can prevent the reformation of the puss. Through this mechanism, wheatgrass can help treat boils and cysts. Although there are a number of pre-made poultices and creams, making your own wheatgrass poultice is quick and easy and ensures that the wheatgrass treatment uses only very fresh grass.
