Hello, thank you for such wonderful information on Psoriasis. I also have a swollen lymph gland in the groin. You mention armpit swollen glands, Can I use horsetail for one in the groin.. Do I chop up the horsetail. Not sure how to make a poultice with it. Would appreciate help with this. Thank you.
Hello Gillian! Yes, horsetail compresses/poultices are amazing for all types of swollen lymph nodes, no matter their location in the body. Put the horsetail plant (roughly chopped) in a sieve over a double boiler to heat it up thoroughly. This helps bring out the anti-inflammatory and healing substances in the plant. Then wrap the hot horsetail plant in a two-fold cheesecloth (or medicinal gauze), to make the poultice. Apply the poultice over the swollen nodes and keep it in place for two hours, until it cools down completely. Use a new plant every evening to make a new compress and continue applying it every evening, until the swolen nodes as completely gone. Anoint the area with castor oil after each application and head directly to bed. Swollen lymph nodes are a sign of the body fighting against infection. Thus, alongside the horsetail compresses, try to eat as clean as possible, plenty fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh water and herbal teas, namely lady’s bedstraw, chamomile, milk thistle or musk thistle. These teas have detox and anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory properties, helping the lymphatic system fighting the infection. I really hope I helped. Much health to you, Gillian, and thank you for being here. 🌿💚😌
