You recommended to apply sports ointment salve and then wrap it.
WRAPPING 'DRIVES" THE HEAT IN. A MJST WHEN DEALING WITH BROKEN BONES OR HURT MUSCLES. LEFT UNWRAPPED WORKS AS WELL, BUT YOU WILL NOT FEEL THE DEEP HEAT.



Do you wrap it in lettuce or cabbage like the amish or is there another way?
THAT WOULD BE FOR "BURNS" AND WORK JIUST FINE. THE USE OF A "LEAF" KEEPS THE OINTMENT FROM STICKING TO THE BANDAGE MATERIAL. SO BURDOCK, GRAPE, ETC. LEAF WOULD WORK WELL; WE ALWAYS USE OCEAN LEAF. THE SQUARES YOU BUY FOR WRAPPING UP ASIAN STYLE OCEAN FOODS

THIS ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR INJURY AND GOAL HOW WELL YOU WANT TO WRAP OR DECIDE TO JUST "RUB" IN AND LEAVE UNWRAPPED.

Currently im just using some plastic food wrap
PEOPLE DO THAT TO, IT DOES NOT BREATH AND FORCES THE SKIN TO FIGHT BACK BY SENDING MORE BLOOD TO THE AREA----THICK OINTMENT WILL SHUT THE AIR OFF AS WELL AND DO THE SAME---SO SOME PEOPLE JUST SIMPLY USE FOOD WRAP; I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT. HOPE THE SALVE DOES NOT "DISSOLVE" THE FOOD WRAP?

and sticking it on the area but thats probably pretty unhealthy because im just leaching the plastics into my body lol.
THE WRAP PROBABLY WILL STAY OUTSIDE AND YOUR BODY ONLY SUCK UP THE OINTMENT---UNLESS THE WRAP DISSOLVES? I KNOW WE CAN EAT THE LEAVES SO I DON'T WORRY ABOUT USING LEAVES.
