Botanical blends—mixtures of various herbs and plant extracts—are traditionally used in many cultures to support skin health and treat conditions like boils, which are bacterial skin infections. The use of such blends is typically based on historical practices rather than rigorous scientific validation. For example, herbs such as turmeric, neem, tea tree oil, and calendula are commonly included in these blends for their perceived anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Historical texts in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western herbalism often suggest that these plants can help soothe inflamed skin, reduce infection, and promote healing.

However, the evidence supporting these claims is largely anecdotal or based on traditional knowledge. While some individual components (e.g., tea tree oil or turmeric) have limited in vitro or small clinical studies showing antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory activity, robust clinical trials on the efficacy and safety of multi-herb "botanical blends" specifically for boils are lacking. As a result, while botanical blends are widely used in traditional medicine for boils, their effectiveness is not well supported by modern scientific research, and their use should be considered complementary rather than primary therapy.
