Making poultice? Edited for clarification
So I have a bunch of clay and want to make some poultice and masks. Can't find much information on if they need a stabilizer or preservatives . Any help would be great.
Edit added to bottom post too:
So I guess I should be a little more specific. I thought saying a mask would be less confusy. But what my treal goal is is to be able to use all the ingredients I have on hand (which are a ton!) To save !myself money on the poultice I use on my own ankle and on my horses legs. Here is a list of ingredients from a basic poultice that I would like to try to save money by reproducing with what I have on hand
Bentonite (bowie type clay) and a proprietary extract of witch hazel bark and leaves with the following common herbs: arnica (Arnica montana), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), lavender (Lavendula officinalis), lobelia (Lobelia inflata) and sodium borate (as a preservative)
