A poultice, also known as antiphlogistic powder, is a paste applied to inflamed areas to draw out inflammation and reduce pain. I have used this since starting with horses in 1973. There are no bad effects. It should be used until all heat is removed from the limb. It also needs to be replaced daily.
Have someone help you learn to apply a poultice effectively. An exterior bandage helps to prevent embedding stall debris, such as straw or shavings, but it is not required. Paper applied over the poultice will keep the mix away from bandaging material.
