How to make a charcoal compress?
• Paper towels or a wash cloth. • Charcoal. • Starch or clay powder. • Water. • Plastic wrap. Directions for use Mix a generous amount of charcoal in a bowl, add a little starch or clay powder to thicken. Keep mixing with water until it is of a nice consistency, not too thick, not too thin. Drs. Thrash and Thrash recommend that you spread a inch mixture on paper towels before placing on the body. Or place mixture on to a damp wash cloth. The compress must remain wet in order to draw out the poisons. Bind the area with plastic wrap to keep in place and retain the moisture.
