This was good timing for me because I just tried out a rusty, dull thresher on my overgrown lawn in 100 degree heat.  I can't bend now.

So I made this ginger poultice and used it on my back, and I do actually think it helped.







At this point I got impatient and minced the ginger my way, which is with a knife.





This is the very same poultice I put on my back 30 seconds after this picture was taken.  

Please give me your thoughts on my Affordable, double-paned earthbag window concept

For my ginger root poultice, I minced up ginger and then mashed it up mixed with water. I added enough water to create a paste from the ginger. I completed a 17 mile hike yesterday, so my feet were killing me. Very practical use today.

I stored the ginger in cheesecloth, then wrapped my foot to compress the cloth against my foot.

I made a Ginger Root Poultice.  I placed the poultice on the bottom of my foot.  I have read ginger helps with blood flow and relaxation.

I grated the ginger, added the warm water then applied to my foot.

I've had flare-ups of knee pain for the last year and a half, ever since I crawled on a hard floor with my daughter. I made a ginger poultice for a recent flare-up, and it took the pain away. I added dried comfrey to it, plus hot water to reconstitute the comfrey. I put the poultice on a cotton cloth and held it on place with a knee brace.
