poultice

It is the poultice and wound dressing suitable for a wide range of conditions. Renowned world-wide for its effectiveness, and now improved with a stronger core for better strength when wet.

In horses and other farm animals, the most common usage of the poultice is its application to reduce swelling of the joints. Some use a simple cool bran or oatmeal cereal, essentially porridge, on a cloth, and then cover the area with a bandage to secure the poultice. A warmed cereal poultice may be used on abscesses to help the abscess drain.
