It read the first paragraph then skipped the 2nd paragraph and went straight to the recipe.

This is so true!
So many people down in the Caribbean know about the cabbage leaf. If we have joint pain or certain aches, we warem the cabbage leave till it is quite warm and then placed on the affected area.

Great question, Howard. For non-wound applications, you can refrigerate and reuse for a couple of days. For anything wound related, you will need a new application each time.

Ie can it be made up and kept in a cupboard/fridge for emergencies?

It seems to have a wide array of healing properties that are extremely useful. I have used both fresh leaves and dried tea leaves.
Thank you for sharing your informative site.

I’m going to try to make a poultice using kawakawa extract! Can’t go past native trees for healing!

Looking for an old fashioned poultice. Saw the name, had to comment. Only an interested Kiwi would know Kahikatea – one of my favourite trees – ancient podocarp – kia ora, kiwi Jeff in Melbourne 11/22

She mixed it with melted crisco, let it cool enough so that it was comfortably warm and she pinned it into our p.j. top. It was ICKY but it worked. As the crisco cooled it congealed on the skin which is why it was ICKY. It stopped coughs. I need to go buy some snuff tomorrow. I have had a virus that attacked my lungs and triggered asthma. Antibiotics and prednisone are helping but tomorrow is the last day for the meds and I’m still coughing a lot even though I am using my inhaler.

We listened and just produced two additional recipes. Thanks for the suggestion.

Placebo? No skin contact means no absorbtion, so I do not see how it can work

Is cooking this necessary to achieve the same benefits?

Yes it will be wet-ish, soggy. You can wrap over it once you’ve applied it to affected area, with plastic wrap or another, dry cloth, to prevent everything from getting wet from it while doing the treatment. I use it when I have flu, on my chest, and put a dry cloth or piece of plastic over as I’m doing treatment.

I used to use poltices on my horses for inflammation but I don’t remember what was in them.
