Containing 60% magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) and methyl salicylate, this poultice offers a convenient way to address minor swelling and discomfort without the need for soaking.
It’s commonly used to support relief from muscle and joint stiffness, as well as to assist in drawing fluid from hoof abscesses or reducing the effects of sole bruising. When applied to legs, joints, or muscles, the poultice can be covered with cotton and/or wrapped for extended contact, typically 36 to 48 hours. It is non-irritating and does not burn or blister the skin, making it a gentle option for managing localized areas of soreness or minor inflammation.
For hoof use, the product should be packed into the sole and frog, then secured with a hoof wrap or boot. This helps encourage drainage and reduces localized hoof discomfort. The poultice can be reapplied as needed for continued support.
This product is intended for external use only. Always consult your veterinarian before beginning any new topical care routine.
