Using your poultice at home

The facial and body herbal poultice's are intended for a single-use and are given to each client after their treatment to be used as a bath tea, as an herbal foot soak, for self massage or natural aromatics in your home.

All of the poultice's used in my practice are from CJB spa + wellness and are handmade in Thailand by Ytsara.

Storage: If you won't be using the poultice immediately, place it in a ziplock bag or mason jar and place in the refrigerator. The poultice should be used within one week of bringing it home to avoid mold.

bath tea or foot soak

Place the poultice in your bathtub or foot basin, fill with hot water, add 1 - 2 cups of your favorite soaking salt for a bath or 1/2 - 1 cup for the foot basin and enjoy an herbal infused soak. You may use the poultice for self massage in the bath using compression techniques on your forehead, on top of your shoulders, under your collar bones along the pec musculature, arms, abdomen and legs.

massage

To heat:

Microwave 20 - 30 seconds after rehydrating the poultice
Use a saucepan with almost boiling water with a strainer on top and steam the poultice after re-hydrating it.
Heat up the poultice in the shower under the hot water.
Caution must be used with removing the poultice from any heat source by using a cloth or towel.

*It is absolutely essential to make sure the herbal poultice is fully hydrated before reheating in the microwave. To hydrate the herbs, place the poultice in a bowl of water and massage the poultice prior to heating in the microwave. Dried herbs in the microwave may cause the herbs to burn.

You may use the poultice for self massage by using compression techniques that we discussed at your appointment on your forehead, cheeks, under the eyes, along the chin, down the sides of the neck or the base of the head, on top of your shoulders, under your collar bones along the pec musculature, arms, abdomen and legs.

aromatics

Place the poultice out to dry in a bowl or on a small plate away from pets and childre. Allow the poultice to dry in a room and note the aromatics naturally on warmer days or if it sets in the sunlight. You may also choose to unravel the poultice after it has set out to completely dry. I also recommend leaving a poultice out to dry in your car for a natural car air freshener.

1 - 2 weeks for natural aromatics
