Poultices and Sweats

---

"While ice is the preferred cold therapy, it's not always a convenient option," Grogan concludes, "Poultices are an excellent alternative option to cool things down and are frequently used as cold therapy on the lower legs (tendons, ligaments, joints) and hooves (traumatic injury, bruises, abscesses) to reduce swelling and aid healing."

StayOn Poultice Leg Wrap

"Our leg wraps combine both bentonite and kaolin clays plus Epsom salt, uniquely blended in a specific patent pending ratio with a gelling agent that provides a long-lasting, wet poultice. The wraps remain wet longer than you might expect. We recommend checking ~ 18-24 hours.      If the wrap is still wet, you can simply rewrap the leg for additional poultice time, if needed."

"Our wraps are compact & easily transport to events, tracks, or for trail rides & used in first aid kits. Instead of lugging around heavy pails of premixed poultice when you're on the road, plus brown paper or plastic wraps, use STAYONS Leg Wraps - they're just so easy to bring along."

DUAL ACTION - provides support for short term & longer term issues. Soaking the wrap in ice water provides effective  immediate support for acute injury/inflammatory conditions, while providing poultice benefits for the longer term effects. Two way support all in one step. No need to remove cold wraps & apply poultice - STAYONS leg wrap uptake and hold the ice water, then slowly warms while the poultice blend provides its benefits. Win-win  - without the mess.

Ichthammol is extremely effective for drawing infection or debris from a wound or hoof. When treating a hoof, Ichthammol can be mixed with Epsom salt to aid in the drawing effect. It can be applied to a sore to help moisten and sooth. Ichthammol allows for the wound to heal from the inside out. It is also an effective salve in cases of fly bites on ears or around tail sets.
