My Own Remedy

This plant is "Comfrey".

I boiled water, placed leaves from the plant to create a tea. I soaked a rag and wrapped "India's" leg.

I also placed the actual leaf on her leg. It softened the scabs so I could remove them more easily. I let it dry and applied tea tree oil gel. After a couple of days in a regular bandage wrap, there was some fluid retention. However, by evening the "scratches or mudfever" was improved. I did reapply the "Ichthomal" to keep the area soft. Today she was no longer sore, the redness is gone the scabs minimal. I will post updated photos within the next few days . Note that the following blog should have been posted before this one.
