Regular potato plaster

Although the regular potato plaster is not quite as effective as the taro potato plaster, you may use this plaster if taro potatoes are not available.

1. Grate potato (green potatoes are best).

2. If the potato is very watery, place it in a double layer of cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess water before combining it with the other ingredients.

3. Mash equal amounts of chopped raw leafy greens in a suribachi (kale, collards, watercress, etc.).

4. Add about 10% grated ginger to the mixture, and mix everything well.

5. If the paste is still too watery, add some unbleached white flour to thicken it to the consistency of mud or wet cement.

6. Apply as you would the taro plaster.
