Over the next few days I alternated different types of poultices, Epsom salt soaks and essential oils.
I used poultices overnight - charcoal one night, clay one night. I had her use tea tree essential oil and frankincense essential oil on it during the day. She also took turmeric twice a day.
The inflammation, redness and pain had improved, but when the results aren't coming as fast as I want, I change tactics. I decided to try a potato poultice. I have read about them with fascination but never tried them.
I grated some potato. I mixed in a little raw honey. I placed that on her foot and covered it with some plastic wrap and a bandage. I do think I saw the most improvement in one night with the potato poultice. She continued with the essential oils during the day a couple of more days.
She now has a healthy scab and normal color.
I love having another remedy up my sleeve (or in my pantry! )
You never know where you will be or what you will have on hand. Lots of possible remedies is always a plus.
