A medicated poultice or healing substance applied to wounds or affected areas; an old medical term for a therapeutic paste or salve.
From Greek ana- (again, back) + plasma (molded form), from plassein (to shape), referring to something molded or formed for healing.
Anaplasm was a go-to treatment before modern medicine—doctors would mix herbs, poultices, and whatever they had into these healing pastes, similar to how grandmothers still make home remedies.
