Compresses and poultices are extremely versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions. This practical handbook was written for nurses and practitioners at the Ita Wegman Clinic in Arlesheim, Switzerland, a centre of expertise for anthroposophical nursing.

The book covers all aspects of compresses and poultices, including descriptions of the substances used and their healing properties, and is based on many years' professional experience.
