This
is a very old and direct way to apply the
herbs to affected areas. Place the herb
of choice on the skin, next take a hot towel
(not scorching) and place it over the herb.
Remember to feel the towel before placing
it on a person, you DO NOT want to burn
them. Repeat this as many times as you need
to.
