Practical Poulticing Tips:
Always ensure the leg is clean prior to application.
Always ensure leg is wet before application.
Use only paper unless you are experienced with how "plastic wrap" impacts the heat exchange process and the "signs" to look for throughout the application process.
Poultice no more than once every 6 to 12 hours. Remove poultice after the initial application period to evaluate the process. Is there more heat, less heat, more swelling, less swelling, more infection, less infection – what are you observing and is it what you are expecting?
Between poultice applications – let the leg "stabilize". Stabilizing is the act of establishing a "base line" from which you can further evaluate the next step.
A "base line" can be attained anywhere from a ½ hour to say 2 hours. At this time a determination can be made as to what the next best step might be. These steps might include:
Hose the leg with cold water.  This produces two processes:  stimulates circulation which increases blood flow, and counters the effect of inflammation by cooling the leg.
Wrap the leg with a mild to moderate support wrap to create a modest "pressure bandage" – this procedure prevents the accumulation of edema and helps dissipate the edema.

Do nothing
Under no circumstance should a leg be poulticed more than twice in any 24 hour period.
