Sorry, I'm not sure how to say it correctly, let alone spell it. It is a home made paste they use to put on infected wounds, back in the old days. I can remember my grandmother putting one on my brother to pull the infection out of a wound he had. I try'd a search, but didn't come up with any thing. I just want to know how to make it, you can never tell when you may need one.

Hi,

The word you're looking for is 'poultice.'

Here's a link below (copy and paste into your browser) with some basic information about making them. If you Google 'poultice,' you'll find more info.

Good luck!

Thanks Little Dolphin,

I haven't even heard the work, since I was a kid, so I didn't thing I was saying it correctly.
