Before the medicine cabinet there was a cloth, warm water, and whatever was in the kitchen. This is the revival of a genuinely useful skill: warm and cooling compresses, honey and oatmeal and clay poultices, exactly how to prepare and apply each, what they suit, and the clear point at which you should set the remedy aside.
