Sore No-More Cooling Clay Poultice

Our horses love this clay. Easy to apply, you can feel it work on yourself, it holds up great and you can noticeably feel the cooling.

I really like this. I keep the container in the refrigerator. Goes on smoothly, rinses off easily. Does a good job keeping my boy from stocking up.

I heard of this product from an endurance horsewoman friend after I told her I was thinking about using clay on my infection and edema ridden leg. I followed through and now confessing I used this on my own (human) cellulitis infected legs. Not on open wounds, but to help reduce terrible edema and cool the leg with the infection (under the skin, in the fascia layer, like a burn from the inside). I also was on IV antibiotics, so I am not suggesting the poultice was a cure, but it seemed to help the texture of my skin and drew the heat out nicely. I applied it and wrapped it just like one probably would a horse using clean flannel strips. I also tried it with saran wrap over top of the clay, then wrapped that. It was cleaner that way and stayed moist for hours while I kept my legs up above my heart. For a comparison I used it on my "bad" leg only the first time. The bad leg looked better than the "good" leg afterward! After that I just did both legs every day or so while the worst was happening. The arnica (pain and inflammation helper) and lavender (antibacterial and scent) in this seem to be part of the magic, but the clay (bentonite?) is also key of course. My doctor even allowed this when I told her about it, if not formally prescribed it, agreeing it was probably OK if it was clean and commercially prepared, as this seems to be. (I would otherwise have tried my son's pottery clay). Now I have a huge supply of course, since 5 pounds is a lot of poultice, but I will probably give most of to my horsewoman friend for her horses. I will definitely keep some to use for comforting my edema sometimes, even to use on my face! And yes, my leg is all healed now, two months later.

Does an amazing job of pulling out swelling quickly within 24 hours you will notice a difference. Recommend using gloves when applying the product. Will dry out your hands otherwise. No overwhelming odors.

This project has worked well for several different injuries on my horse.

Works great! Love the all natural ingredients.

The product worked well however you can find the same type of product for cheaper in other places.

My favorite poultice to use Great texture for application
