What is a Poultice?

Using a poultice is an age-old tradition dating back to early Egyptians. A poultice is a soft, pliable paste made of clay. Poultice is different than a liniment, which is usually a liquid or gel. Typical use for a liniment is for short periods of time, after a work-out or bath, and often times uses menthol as a main ingredient. While poultice for horses can be either, warming or cooling, and left on for longer. Poultice for horses is commonly used under wraps such as "no bows." Think of a poultice like the concept of a mud mask used on your face. A good face mask will be cooling, tightening, and remove any puffiness. But instead of their face, horses need help in their lower limbs which are the furthest from their heart and are the area with the worst circulation.

Why use a Poultice for Horses?

Commonly referred to as "mud," this age-old technique of using poultice for horses has been a tried-and-true tool for horse owners alike. Every horseman has inevitably walked up to their horses and found an area of sensitivity, or heat and is "puffy." A horse's skin is significantly more sensitive than ours and can often times need a topical product to provide support for the issue at hand. This can often be the legs, stifles, SI's, or your farrier might say you need a hoof pack. That is the perfect time for you reach for Kahm's poultice for horses with the added benefits of CBD.

How Does our Poultice for Horses Work?

Types of Clay used in our Poultice

Our saying goes "Not all CBD is created equal," the same goes for the clay used in making our poultice for horses. While there are many clays available, we have narrowed it down to the best two. We use two types of clay, Bentonite and French Green Clay. Bentonite clay is known for both its absorbing and adsorbing properties. Our "blended" clay poultice has the best clays known for absorbing toxins and impurities.  French Green clay is a great addition to bentonite and increases rejuvenation properties. It has been noted that bentonite clay alone can sometime be irritating too the skin. Using a blended clay with both bentonite and french green clay is the most beneficial for horses because of their sensitive skin.

How to apply Poultice for Horses
