Mustard Plaster

Just read about a folk remedy to use mustard plaster for 'arthritis, cramps, backaches - anything that required a lot of heat.'

I might try this the next time we run out of Bengal for muscle ache.

'Mix this together and put it into a wet wash cloth and fold it over like a sandwich, then put it into a zip lock bag and then into a dry hand towel. Then place it on the area - chest or back but DO NOT LEAVE IT IN ONE SPOT FOR TO LONG!... This stuff works so well you can use it for arthritis, cramps, back aches - anything that requires a lot of heat. '
