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.
