In the words of Nicole Apelian PHD The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies How to Make a Poultice: 🌿👍To make a poultice, se- lect the necessary fresh herbs and tear or cut them finely. If you don’t have the ability to cut them, crush- ing them between the fingers will work too. Doctors carried a mortar and pestle in ancient times for this
are specific to the still and the herb from which you are trying to extract the essential oil.
To make any medicinal syrup, start out by making a decoction. You want to end up with a known amount of decoction, so that you’ll know how much honey to add. This is easy, as you will need to strain out the herbs before adding the honey. When you do this, measure using a Pyrex glass measuring cup.
Typically, these syrups will last about six months in the refrigerator if you use a 1:2 ratio. You can also extend the life by adding a tincture to the mixture, as the alco- hol in the tincture will act as a preservative, or by add- ing glycerin.
purpose. The idea is to have the leaves broken, so that the sap of the plant can come out, contacting the skin. Chewing also works but make sure the herbs are safe to chew.
A generous quantity of the poultice is applied to the afflicted area of the skin and bound in place with a bandage. Gauze is normally used for this, but an elas- tic bandage or a large leaf are other options. The poul- tice must be kept damp to work, so it is usually changed out a couple of times per day.
Poultices can be made from dried herbs as well. In that case, the crushed or chopped herbs are soaked in warm water, softening them so that they won’irritate the skin and to draw out their medicine.

A little fine-tuning can be applied by using either hot or cold water with it. A hot poultice (not hot enough to burn) helps to increase the circulation in the area where it is applied. This can help get the medicinal
properties of the herbs to the cells needing it more quickly. Using cold water, on the other hand, reduces circulation, while also reducing swelling. (Just terrible how all this knowledge has been hidden away ) everything we need to heal is right in our soil 🌿
