Plasters
Plasters are similar to Ointment, although they are usually thicker. A plaster is designed to be applied to cloth or gauze and bound onto a part for hour, a day, or sometimes several days.
As with Ointments, Plasters usually have an oily base to facilitate penetration through the skin. The base of a Plaster is similar to the base of an Ointment, a plaster typically having powdered herbs and resins in its composition.
