Bread and Milk Poultice

Writer: Smiths Herbal ApothecarySmiths Herbal Apothecary

I remember my grandmother also used a bread and milk poultice for drawing out infections and splinters.

How to Make a Bread Poultice

The typical bread poultice uses simply bread and milk. You'll also need something to secure the poultice to your skin, usually a bandage that will fit over the application area.

What you need:

Bread

Milk or water

Bandage

Instructions:

Place the bread in a bowl. You can break the bread into pieces if you prefer. Pour the milk or water over the bread, just enough to moisten the bread. Mash the bread into the liquid with a fork until it's thoroughly incorporated and moistened.
