Mustard Plaster for Chest Congestion
This is great for chest congestion from the common cold.

3 parts flour to 1 part dry mustard
Add enough water to make it stick together (almost like thick thick paste)
Fold inside newspaper like a packet
Place on your chest for a short time

It will get warm. Be careful not to leave it too long as it could burn. I had these all the time growing up. It works. Use with care!
