For applying to tumours an infusion made from horsetail (shave grass) or oak bark produces good results when mixed with clay. Inflammation of the nerves is best treated with a mixture of lemon balm and clay; and for rheumatic problems, an infusion of eucalyptus leaves, needle-like juniper leaves, or wild thyme with clay is recommended. Never boil aromatic herbs and leaves; merely pour boiling water over them and allow them to steep in the hot liquid (infusion). Non-aromatic herbs can be boiled a little. When ready, strain and mix the liquid with clay to make a paste. If you infuse the herbs in a small cloth bag, this will be useful for laying on top of the clay-herb poultice when it is in position. As previously explained, this will help to retain the heat.
