  Poultices   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Poultices are used to ease nerve or muscle pain, sprains, or broken bones, and to draw pus from infected wounds, ulcers, or boils.
In times past, poultices were a favourite household remedy, often involving the use of bread or mashed potatoes as a carrying mixture for herbal infusions or oil.
Like compresses, hot poultices can be used for swellings, sprains, or to draw pus or splinters, but cold pastes or poultices can also be useful, as in the case of comfrey root applied to varicose ulcers.
