Keeping Well How Plasters Work
The article argues people rely on plasters and poultices to draw out disease, but heat and moisture provide the actual benefit. It cites misused home remedies like bread and butter poultices and notes true value comes from warmth, not the material. Dr Fantus notes drawing poisons through the skin is a myth, while plasters may aid natural repair by increasing local blood flow.
