        My mother makes e a drawing salve using turpentine. I prefer to use pitch and skip the turpentine processing. Does anyone have a grrreat recipe?

        Also, I read that yarrow is a great companion herb to add to this salve. Is it?

        Any other suggestions before I have a go?

          Plantain is a super drawing herb.

              Plantain is wonderful, especially if you add a pinch of cayenne. Some ground flax added will enhance the mechanical drawing action as well.

              Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
