Poulticing: Lymph’s Miracle Helper

The poultice has been used for healing for thousands of years. In fact mud and clay in ancient civilizations were considered the earliest form of medicine. Scientifically, clays have been found to act like a sponge to soak up toxins due to their alkalizing properties. Because all clays are not the same, some can absorb while some adsorb. There are some clays that can do both. Clays with absorbing properties expand when wet acting like a sponge to soak up toxins. Adsorption occurs when molecules of one substance adhere to the surface of another substance. Clays that are negatively charged act like a magnet pulling positively charged toxins to them. The word poultice means “to draw out” and poultices are drawing salves that remove or assist the flow of debris through the skin. Poultices can increase circulation which in turn increases oxygen to the area being treated. Because all clays are not the same, neither are poultices that are being commercially sold in a lot of cases.
