Home Remedies for Bulbous Eruptions

There is another fever which accompanies bulbous eruptions on the body. The eruptions are so like smallpox that even experienced physicians are sometimes misled into treating them as smallpox. These eruptions are the result of vitiation of the blood, and blood purifying remedies recommended elsewhere in this work should be administered.

Home Remedies for Bulbous Eruptions

The first step against Bulbous Eruptions is to segregate the victim. The best course is to keep the fever down to manageable limits and to take care of the pustules when they form. If after the fever has gone down (the temperature recedes only when. the pustules start forming), the pustules have not fully come out on the surface of the body, a Fig should be cut into pieces and cooked in a little water. One decigram Saffron should be mixed with it after straining it. The decoction helps shorten the course of the disease.

Care should be taken to deal with the eruptions which are usually the site of intense itching when they are in the process of recovery. Scratching is likely to lead to formation of wounds on the skin.
