Potato wrap
The temperature-controlled applications may be left as long as they are warm and considered comfortable (including overnight).
If the person requiring treatment has a fever, do not use hot wraps (caution: heat build-up).
Application Area:
- Cough
Ingredients:
- Inner cloth (Cotton gauze)
- Middle cloth (Fustian)
- Outer cloth (Molleton)
- Possibly bath towel
- 2-3 potatoes (depending to the size)
Cook the potatoes in their skin until soft. Place the potatoes on top of the cotton gauze, crush them and fold them into a suitable pack. Check the heat with your inner forearm (caution: risk of burns).
When it is hot enough, place the potato compress on the chest and fix it in place with the fustian and molleton (possibly add a bath towel).
Keep asking whether the temperature is OK. If necessary, renew after 20-30 minutes.
