Various diets and treatments - herb poultices VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS - HERB POULTICES
Herbs that favourably influence the function of organs when taken as teas, tinctures and extracts will also benefit us if we apply them as poultices, as practical experience will prove. Kidney herbs such as Solidago (goldenrod), birch leaves and horsetail, can be crushed or minced and applied raw to the region over the kidneys. This external application will enhance the effect of the same remedies taken internally.
The application of fresh plants will benefit the circulatory and lymphatic systems and ease stagnation in the vascular system. In fact, fresh plant therapy is easy. For example, crushed sorrel, giant dock and rhubarb leaf poultices applied to congestions, bruises, swellings and the like, have an excellent effect. They will dissipate the trouble much better than expensive commercial plasters and ointments. Various leaves found in the garden and fields are suitable, but care must be taken not to employ the leaves of poisonous plants. The leaves of Rhus toxicodendron (poison ivy) can cause a severe rash. Belladonna and other poisonous plants must not be used either. In fact, poisonous plants, it must be remembered, are safe only in the hands of a professional phytotherapist. Other leaf poultices, for example ones made with cabbage leaves, can be applied without having to fear any complications. They are helpful in treating numerous ailments, and if there should be a strong reaction, simply reduce the time the poultices are allowed to remain on the affected area. These poultices are easily prepared and always beneficial.
