Compresses compresses and poultice are used externally and are very effective because the active part of the herb are able to reach the affected part without being altered in any way by the digestive tract.
Compresses are normally prepared by soaking a linen or muslin cloth in an infusion or decoction. The cloth is then placed on the affected region and is held in place by a bandage or plastic wrap.
Compresses are milder than poultice and can be hot or cold.

Decoction  a liquor containing the concentrated essence of a substance, produced as a result of heating or boiling, especially as used in medicinal and herbal preparations.

Infusion a drink, remedy or extract prepared by soaking herbs in boiling water to get the flavour or healing properties.

Poultices
Compresses and poultice are used externally and are very effective because the active part of the herb are able to reach the affected part without being altered in any way by the digestive tract.
A poultice is made from a crushed plant and is applied directly to the affected area. It can be prepared by boiling crushed plant parts for a few minutes to make a pulp  or mix powdered herbs with boiling water. It is specifically useful for conditions like bruises, wounds and abscesses (Pus filled cavities) to soothe and to draw out impurities.

Steep    soak or be soaked in water or other liquid.

Triphala - a combination of three herbs viz. Amla (Emblica officinalis), Harad (Terminalia chebula) and Baheda (Terminelia bellerica)
