Natural Compresses and Poultices: Safe and Simple Folk Medicine Treatments for 70 Common Conditions

This book is a step-by-step guide to using compresses and poultices for 70 common ailments and chronic conditions, such as migraine, asthma, acne, sinusitis, earache, arthritis, sprains, hives, shingles, anxiety, insomnia, mastitis, muscle pains, bronchitis, and more.

Compresses and poultices, simple yet effective natural remedies, are valued by herbalists, midwives, and mothers. They can quickly ease pain and inflammation, relieve congestion, lower fever, drain abscesses, activate circulation, calm muscle spasms, and trigger the body’s self-healing abilities.

Christopher Vasey, N.D., explains how to use these folk remedies to treat various ailments. He distinguishes between compresses and poultices, explaining that compresses are cloth soaked in infused water and applied to a specific part of the body, while poultices work similarly but use a paste made from healing material.
