Just like the carrot, a potato can be used as a beneficial poultice. Grate and wrap in a damp tea, paper, or thin towel (or use without wrapping) an apply to affected area for a minimum of 20 minutes (more repeats = more results) in the case of:
- Sprains
- Skin and Eye Inflammations
- Burns (the lesser burn that you don’t go to the emergency room for)
- Eczema
Caution: potatoes will stain purple or black. Do not apply heat to this poultice.
