Compress
To
make a compress, soak a clean piece of soft cloth in a hot
infusion, decoction, or tincture,
diluted with water. Squeeze out the excess liquid loosely. Hold the
cloth against the affected area. When it cools, repeat, making sure
the mix is still hot. This often accelerates healing wounds or muscle
injuries. You can use a cold compress for headaches.
These
provide thorough deep cleansing. The heat produces perspiration, which
eliminates toxins and stimulates circulation. The steam softens the
skin and opens the pores, which helps the skin absorb the beneficial
properties of the herbs. Recommendations: for normal skin, once a week-for
oily skin, 2 or 3 times a week-for dry skin, once every 2 weeks.
