In one post, I talk about balsam pear. Ms Outlaw was the only one I knew of that made a poultice with balsam pear. I have seen amazing results when she applied it on a person that had such a severe case of psoriasis, his arms looked like elephant skin.
I'm sure the formula must be older her. She also made a poultice by pickling balsam pear in a mild Turpentine formula.
