MUSO's Albi Plaster is made from taro, wheat, and ginger. When used externally, it decreases swelling and heat from inflammation; therefore, it is effective in parotid inflammation, burns, cuts, tumors, etc. Like ginger, taro's birthplace is Japan; it is only grown in the tropical and torrid regions of Japan. Taro was once a staple food in Japan.

According to eastern medicine, taro helps activate intestinal function, removes rushes of blood to the head, and smoothes, nourishes and adds gloss to the skin. It has as much dietary fiber as sweet potato; thus, Albi Plaster can be taken to regulate bowel action and decrease constipa-tion gradually.
