Does turmeric paste help with accesses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reportedly yes: Turmeric has many proven health benefits and a long history of use in treating abscesses. However, I am not aware of any formal studies on abscesses, but it probably helps even though is unproven. See http://skinverse.com/turmeric-for-painful-boils/ for a discussion of this & http://authoritynutrition.com/top-10-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-turmeric/ for info on better-proven benefits.
