The taro root and ginger plaster is a heavy duty liver detox method. It is a pulling plaster in herbal terms. You will need about 4-6 ounces of taro root. I'm guessing the amount because I didn't measure it or get instructions with specific measurements. Enough to make about a cup of paste. Enough ginger root to give you about 1/8th to 1/4 cup paste. Enough muslin gauze to wrap up the plaster making a pack out of it big enough to cover the area over the liver. Most of you liver hangs just below your rib cage on the right side. An old towel or other cloth to wrap around and hold it in place.
Grate the taro and ginger root and mix. Spread about 1/4 inch thick on the gauze and wrap two or three times. Just enough so it doesn't ooze out easily and get messy. Don't put too many layers of gauze over it, like I did at first, or it won't contact the skin enough to work.
Put it on just before bed and go to sleep because it will start itching like nobody's business and it's easier to sleep through than stay up and go nuts. It's also easier to keep it in place lying down.
I was told that I might find the plaster black, blue and purple from released toxins. And awful smelling. The pattern should reflect the shape of the liver. I found all of that true except the discoloration. But that doesn't surprise me since smoking and animal fats are the worst toxins I am exposed to and I have taken milk thistle for a while. On my own I decided to take milk thistle for a few days before doing the plaster since it makes hepatocyte cells more soluble.
