poulticing
Treating with paste
Poulticing is the application of a poultice—a soft, moist mass of material applied to the body to relieve soreness or inflammation.
The term extends to similar treatments for porous surfaces like stone or brick, where an absorbent paste draws out stains or moisture: The conservator recommended poulticing the marble to remove the oil stain.
