Much of it does, but its refined, tested, clinically trialled then used whereas auntie Joan knocking up some herbal brew or dressing is leaving you and your immune system open to a massive attack. Take your pick, the choice is yours.
I had finger surger about 6 days ago and it went great. I had the dressing removed yesterday and it is healing really well. Whiston hospital have been excellent no problems with care from them.
The reason why I wanted to know about the poltice is that Sandsnakes did a wonderful workshop at the Bushmoot in 200?. He used a poltice on his own hand after surgery and got minimal scarring. It is purely to reduce any scarring.
Thank you all for your input and I'll message sandsnakes for his recipe!

Naturopathy is not quackery, rather it is old style medical practice that is often used when the more modern methods of treatment are found to be ineffective, I may not be first choice but for many it is last choice when other methods have failed to resolve the situation.
This site revolves around nature and the wilds, or have you not noticed, many are interested in what our forebears did to resolve the problems they we confronted with. Do not confuse primitive with lack of sophistication.
Further to this you have no idea of the exchange between Sooozy and I.
Judge not least ye be judged.

I'd just like to echo sandsnakes comment about Naturopathy. I had a very ill ('had' because he isn't ill now) son, who was basically being kept alive by naturopathic treatment. When he finally catastrophically collapsed and needed major surgery, the chief pediatric thoracic surgeon in Leeds general infirmary wanted details of how we'd been caring for our son. He said that child with my son's condition normal have the catastrophic collapse before age 2 - my son was 6. So we had the chief registrar and the surgeon taking extensive notes on the fever and infection care techniques taught to us by a naturopath in York.
Naturopathy is very much a complementary form of treatment.
(just in case people misunderstand, we had been taking our son to doctors and hospital constantly since he was a month old. They just failed to pick up on his condition).

I have had these arguements before it doesn't matter how much clinical evidence, or the quatity of the evidence, the same very repetive arguement is still put forward by the same individuals that spoil perfectly good threads about natural medicine.
I dont know what sandsnakes put in his poltice but I use comfry. It contians high levels of allantion. Here are peer reviewed articles on research on allantion.
It is Bob, it is. It may just not be in the medical journals that you and Rik regularly read.

What I'm saying is I'm happy with any medical treatment/practise so long as it is based upon evidence of actually working, be that some twigs, synthetic drug or whatever.
Thank you Bushwhaker for that clarification.
I would not post 'dodgy' material or advice in a public forum niether would Xylara-the lady of the woods! We are both responsible and well informed adults and like to be treated as such.
As reguards the question I was asked, behind the public forum, I applied the normal criteria of w,w,w,w etc, etc.
And yes peer reviewed articles with double blind testing do stand up in court. ;-)
