Dr. Christopher’s Favorite Poultice

by Practical Herbalism

March 2007

Dr. John R. Christopher frequently used a combination of 3 parts of Mullein and 1 part Lobelia for poultices or fomentations to aid in the healing of boils, skin ulcerations, and swellings that he felt were the result of lymphatic congestion.

He would also administer a tea made in the same proportions. I have had excellent success with this remedy as well, and I very often add 1 part Peppermint to this formula as a "catalyst."

Everything was great! You had a book that I could not find anywhere else, and it was super cheap with fast shipping.

Thanks!
