Mama To Many (Tn) on 09/10/2020: 
My daughter was running barefoot and cut the bottom of her foot. She didn't clean it and kept doing what she was doing. It didn't really bother her until the next day when she showed it to me. The site around the cut was red and inflamed and she was in pain.
Over the next few days I alternated different types of poultices, Epsom salt soaks and essential oils.
I used poultices overnight - charcoal one night, clay one night. I had her use tea tree essential oil and frankincense essential oil on it during the day. She also took turmeric twice a day.
The inflammation, redness and pain had improved, but when the results aren't coming as fast as I want, I change tactics. I decided to try a potato poultice. I have read about them with fascination but never tried them.
I grated some potato. I mixed in a little raw honey. I placed that on her foot and covered it with some plastic wrap and a bandage. I do think I saw the most improvement in one night with the potato poultice. She continued with the essential oils during the day a couple of more days.
She now has a healthy scab and normal color.
I love having another remedy up my sleeve (or in my pantry! )
You never know where you will be or what you will have on hand. Lots of possible remedies is always a plus.
