not to be a country folk on main but.... when in doubt slap some raw potato on it!

i have and abscess on my stomach an very time my shorts move its hell. i've tried antibiotic ointment and drawing salve and acetaminophen and NOTHING

my bff was like oh just put some potato on in it!

and i'm like 🤔why didn't i think of that??? (but i'm so wrapped up in school work now i forgot the very existence and cold and hot compresses 👀)

anyway grated a potato up and as soon as the juices touched my skin it was sweet relief

(also helps on cuts and scrapes) :)

#highly recommend drawing salve from native american sellers or even amish sellers #it usually works wonders! #also just so everyone is clear i'm a firm believer in modern and herbal medicines #sometimes you need antibiotics/sometimes on a lot of the minor things you need to slap some herbs on it #BUT make sure you go to a practitioner who knows what they are doing! #also know the limits #we need both modern medicine and herbal medicine #also get vaccinated and vaccinate your kids! #end of tangent lol #what should i tag abscesses as? #cw abscess #cw injury #?
