Description

Poultice (50g) $18.00

Indication:

Trauma, sports injuries, back pain, lumbago, sciatica, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bursitis, tendonitis, hematomas, post-operative rehabilitation, orthopedic, whip lash and neurological conditions.

Action:

Applied properly, organic extract substances will retain and radiate heat in a localized area.

The natural minerals and medicinal properties are absorbed via the skin giving 50% to 75% faster pain relief compared to similar modalities.

Application:

Apply poultice approximately 1/4 inch thick to afflicted area. Form poultice into a square shape, if possible, to make bordering easier. Apply a wet washcloth directly on poultice; try to fold the cloth so that it goes right to the edge of the material.

Border cloth with a large dry towel, making sure no skin is exposed. Take the towel and fold until it is approximately 4 inches wide. The towel is folded over on each corner, which gives you a solid border. Make sure you place another dry towel over border and cloth. Do not fold this towel, place the towel right up against the edge of the cloth. Place hydrocollator or hot water bottle on top. Hydrocollator should be boiled for one hour prior to treatment. Hot water bottle should also contain boiling water and about half full. Cover hydrocollator or water bottle with one or two towels to maintain heat. Keep hot water bottle on the poultice approximately 30 minutes. (After treatment relax & stay warm for the next hour or two as the treated area cools down.)

If the poultice becomes too hot, pull back the two towels with the hot water bottle in the middle and dowse the cloth that is directly on top of the poultice with cold water. Replace the top layers of the towels and hot water bottle, check border to see that it is replaced correctly; hydrocollator heat may cause skin burns if exposed directly to the skin. Avoid movement during treatment, as the poultice is drying it may crack and cause burning. To remove the poultice, a bowl is recommended, as it is dry and can be scraped off like a pancake. To wipe clean, use a wet washcloth and rotate in a circular motion. Moisturizing cream may be used after treatment to alleviate dryness. Use as often as necessary. Poultice may be used solely or in conjunction with a submersion bath immediately after perspiration.

Keep out of reach of children. For external use only.
