How to Heal Back Pain

This remedy for relieving back pain dates back to early American medicine. It was called a mustard plaster back in the day. This home remedy uses things almost everyone has at home to help an achy and stiff back. Hopefully this will help you if you are experiencing back pain.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• someone to help you
• mustard
• flour
• water
• warm towel

1. Get all thing things you need together. I wouldn't use an expensive mustard for this home remedy for back pain.

2. Combine 1 part mustard with 2 parts flour

3. Stir your mustard and flour mixture with small amounts of water until you form a paste.

4. Spread the paste onto a warm towel. I start out with an almost hot towel so that once I've applied it is still warm.

5. Have the person with the back pain lie down in a comfortable position on their stomach.

6. Place the warm towel with the mustard paste side up across the persons back. Make sure the mustard side is not touching the skin directly.

7. Check the person wearing the mustard plaster every few minutes to make sure their skin isn't becoming overly irritated. Leave it on for up to 15-20 minutes.
