'So why would I use a ginger poultice? I would use a ginger poultice for an inflamed joint.
So the easiest way to remember this is ginger is for joints. So that would be gout. It would be arthritis. Also a sore back, an inflamed back.
Now when someone's got an inflamed back, they usually put a hot water bottle on it. Is that right? But if the back is hurting because of inflammation, the hot water bottle will relax. And you know the reason why the hot water bottle relaxes is because when we're in pain, the muscles around that area tighten and cramp. Basically they go out in sympathy with the pain.
And you put a hot water bottle on that and it relaxes those cramping muscles so you do get some relief but it does not help the inflammation. It can even make it worse.
But ginger, if you apply a ginger poultice anywhere where there's inflammation the ginger pulls the inflammation out of the joint to the skin and the skin gets really hot. So if you apply this to the lower back the heat relaxes the muscles and yet the ginger is reducing the inflammation.'
