Olbas Oil

Flashy, crush the leaves a bit and then pour boiling water over them......leave them until the water has gone cooler, but is still fairly warm. then apply them to the sore place and bandage on with a crepe bandage.......leave them on for a few hours, then replace them with fresh warm ones.
I hope this helps, failing that, send for some comfrey oil from Holland and Barretts:D

my dad said do it with a bandage, but i can't put a bandage on my shoulders can i lol, think i'll nip into town on mi bike and try the oil, it will be much easier, thanx Marg x
 
i have now got a poultice on each shoulder, i followed the vid that Margaret R put up, its not a great idea to use a hand blender though, it makes your kitchen rather messy ;)
rather than putting flour with the mixture to thicken it, i just used less water, i can freeze these poultices too which will be good for when i'm not using them


sorry to hijack your thread John but i'm sure you'll understand ;)

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:Understand, Understand;) course I understand:D
 
oooooh, she used them with the flowers still on.......I was told by my witchy old Aunt that you should wait until the plant has stopped flowering.......the plant puts all its effort into the flowers and the leaves are less potent.......and apparently, the flowers don't have the same effect as the leaves.
 
ah i just used the leaves, don't know if they where in flower or not, didn't ask my dad..... i have them sitting on my shoulders with a tea-towel over them, i look like i have mega muscles now ;)
 
You are welcome Shaz(I hope you mean me)...I'm just off now to blow the bats out of my hair and to see if the cat wants a trip on the broomstick :D
