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."

Joy,
I am very pleased with More Than Alive's customer service and attention to detail. When I sent an email requesting an update on my purchase, I was promptly contacted and given a description of when and how my items were going to ship. Because there was a shortage on the Berkey Filters when I ordered it, I was given an update on the manufacturer's schedule as well! My order arrived exactly when it was supposed to and in perfect shape. I love my Berkey Filter!

Thanks so much,
Anaia
