Using Charcoal Poultice for First Aid
In fact, it's almost like you're spreading it like
peanut butter.
Can you see that?
And the beauty of the slippery elm is it really is just holding it in place.
And then you fold over like you did the other
poultice. And you can see that
that's one of the beauties of the,
of, of the chocks. It's starting to come through the holes
already. Now, where would I use this?
Again, I would use it on a snake bite, an ant bite, a bee sting,
a, uh, wasp bite, any poisoning cases.
But you can also use that on a sore eye.
That will bring a lot of relief to a sore eye.
And you can also use it on, um, on a boil.
And again, as I mentioned before, any case where you've got swollen
and you've got
pus. And you might say, "Well, wouldn't you use the grated potato?" You
certainly
could. You might do grated potato one time,
and you might do the,
uh, the charcoal another time.
But wherever you've got any poisoning or pus, that's
where you would use the charcoal because of its ability
to absorb and neutralize the poisons.
So that's the charcoal poultice. So you're starting to see that it's a good
idea to have a little jar of charcoal
in your first aid kit.
