a poultice. Water and activated charcoal are stirred until the consistency is
that of a thick cream. The mixture can be “geled” with boiled flax seed, aloe
vera gel, or agar, then poured onto a piece of cotton flannel. This pack is
placed directly over the area of inflammation, covered with a piece of plastic,
and finally secured with tape. You should change the poultice every 6 to 8
