A poultice is a warm herbal application placed directly on the skin to support comfort during pain, injury, or infection.

Recipe:
Simmer herbs for a few minutes, then apply them to the affected area while still warm. Secure with gauze or cotton strips and leave on for up to 3 hours.
You can repeat every 2–3 hours, as needed.

The amount of herbs depends on the size of the area you’re treating.

Tip:
You can also make a poultice by mixing powdered herbs with tinctures.
