How To Make A Tofu Plaster For High Fevers

When anyone in our family gets a HIGH fever, we use this trick Marilee taught us to help soothe and bring it down. Remember, in general fevers are good! It’s the way our bodies respond and fight infection. We only recommend bringing down a fever if it goes beyond what your doctor determines is too high. The tofu/ginger plaster has a powerful cooling effect.

What You’ll Need:

• 8-10oz block of firm tofu
• 1-2 Tbsp Flour
• Ginger

Here’s how to make a tofu plaster!

1. Cut tofu block into squares (we did 16 here)
2. Grate ginger (enough to equal one tofu piece)
3. Mash up the tofu
4. Add in ginger and mix together
5. Knead the mixture a few minutes
6. Add 1-2 Tbsp of flour & continue to mix
7. Add water if necessary to get mixture to stick
8. Make a patty on a cloth
9. Place directly on the forehead (lasts up to 2-3 hours)
