Mustard Poultices

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix dry mustard with enough cold water to make a thick paste.

  2. Spread the smooth paste on a piece of thin old linen or cotton.

  3. Sew it round to form a bag, ensuring it's not larger than needed.

  4. Hold the poultice to the fire for a few minutes to warm it.

  5. Apply the poultice for 15 to 30 minutes, then replace it with clean soft cotton or wadding.
