Mustard plaster (poultice) 💛
for congestion and sore muscles.
.
Equal parts ground mustard and flour-
Enough water for a pancake batter consistency-
fold into a cloth.
-IMPORTANT TO USE:
You need a barrier between your skin and the cloth, (tallow, olive oil, coconut oil) lather your chest, back or muscle well before laying cloth over - now you need heat (a blanket works) but a heating pad, salt sock or rice sock works better. do not leave in one spot for longer than 20min as this will cause deep blood flow and can cause blisters. If using on children- reduce amount on cloth and check every 5 minutes (remove once skin starts to flush)
Redness is normal! Means it’s working 😉
Be well!❤️
