potato

The following potato plaster reduces inflammations caused by contusions, sprains, and fractures:

• Peel and grate ordinary potatoes, mix half of them with an equal amount of green vegetable leaves (either spinach, radish or cabbage).  The vegetable leaves should be coarsely pureed in t a food blender before mixing with the potatoes.  To this wet mass add 10% white flower, then mix everything thoroughly by hand in a big bowl. Add just enough ice water (never warm water) to give the paste a wet, somewhat even and thick consistency.  Apply plaster directly on the skin.  For sensitive skin, rub the affected area with olive oil before applying the plaster.  Put a clean cloth over the plaster and secure with a linen bandage.  When the plaster dries out, apply warm water on the dry mass until it becomes moist again.  Let the plaster sit in place for about 3.5 hours, while reclining.  Remove plaster and rinse skin with warm water.
