| POULTICES |
| To prepare a poultice, use a cheesecloth, a flannel cloth or a cup towel (light weight cotton towel). Dampen slightly with small amount of water then place whatever herb you wish to use on cloth. Lay the cloth over area, cover with plastic, apply hot water bottle or heating pad and leave on for 15 minutes. Caution: - Do not use plastic or heat over the poultice if you are using Peppermint Oil or Cajeput Oil as this may blister or burn the skin |
