Mustard Plaster

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix ground black mustard with boiling water until thick enough to spread.

  2. Cut a piece of thin book muslin larger than the plaster size.

  3. Spread the mustard mixture in the center of one half of the muslin, leaving a 1-inch border.

  4. Fold the other half of the muslin over the mustard, then place the plaster on a bandage and apply it warm.
