How To Make An Herbal Salve - Comfrey. (Uses For Healing Salves) 

Thank you for making this helpfulvideo. I’ve used comfrey internally for years with some miraculous results, an absolutely wonderful herb for me to drink as tea, add to my cooking and use on my body. What I understand from the research I’ve found, you would have to ingest an ‘extraordinary’ amount for any possible negative effects and when you look even deeper into it, be aware of who is doing the research and who benefits from the research. Many people are willing to take over the counter and prescription drugs without questioning yet are scared to try something growing in its natural state because of false information … this is my opinion only of course 😊

The only real danger of using comfrey is if used on a puncture wound or a deep wound is that comfrey heals it too fast and IF there is infection down deep it will close up the wound and infection will be trapped. I used comfrey after I dropped a heavy wood cutting board on my big toe. It started turning black right away so I heated water and added comfrey leaf let it steep then applied for 30 minutes, continued doing that for 3 days and the bruising disappeared, swelling went down, felt tons better and I never lost my toe nail. Big Pharma tried to eradicate comfrey many decades ago but the roots go 10 foot deep so it is nearly impossible to kill off, which means choose where you plant it carefully. What they don't tell you, when warning of the dangers of comfrey is that even Tylenol, if taken against directions, will cause liver damage and if overdosed can cause death. If one uses common sense it is very safe and can heal. The fact that they tried to eradicate it tells me that Comfrey is God's gift for healing but like with any medicine it must be used correctly.

I grow a ton of peppermint in my garden (planted a single plant 5 years ago and now its literally everywhere all the time) and use this same method but also throw in a handful of peppermint leaves. Adds a cooling effect to it and it smells great.

Thanks for great video! Very easy to do, I will try it.

Thanks for sharing and teaching us!

This video is great! Excited to make mine!

I can’t wait to try this. You have the easiest instructions that I’ve saw on RU-vid. Thank you. God Bless, Carol B

I appreciate this very much thanks for sharing .I will be able to make mine for people

Thank you for this video! 🕊💜

Excellent !!! Blessings +++!!!

Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information

Thankyou I’m going to have a go. Have plenty of comfrey in my garden.

I am so grateful that I bought and planted two comfrey cuttings last year. Actually I completely forgot about them this year and just recently realized what they were as they grew. Can't wait to make salve. So many uses for comfrey.

Dehydration is far easier for thin leaves by simply leaving them about somewhere on a tray and on a cloth maybe. If you really want to you can hang a bunch up for a couple of days. No need for other equipment.

Thank you. I add Vitamin E oil to help preserve it longer.

لقد استفدت منك بشكل سهل جدا لقد شرحتة بشكل مبسط شكرا جزيلا لك ايها الرائع ❤

Thank you for making this video

This was so helpful

Looking forward to making this for my daughters eczema flare ups. Thankyou!

Best recipe 👍 Thanks so much 😊

Really great video

I've noticed that some of the plants that are the most beneficial seem to have some natural built controls. If nettle leaf didn't have the sting they do they would've been devoured long long ago by beasts of the field because of it's incredible nutritional benefits. I believe the same is with comfrey. It can be used as a salve, for sure. By the way thank you for your video. I'm going to start using the salves like you instructed. But, I feel the same with comfrey. They are so nutritious and healing but if everyone knew that we wouldn't have it's benefits or this video. So, let them say what they will, it's actually protecting the plant so we can have it and those in the future. I used to drink a cup of comfrey tea everyday for about two years. If you take proper amounts it will do wonders for your insides.

Great video!!

Thank you for an easy recipe. I can’t wait to try this and will look for many more of your videos like this.

If you want to warm it then you can use a yogurt maker to speed the process up just a little bit without worrying about damaging the oil or comfrey.

I like having another way of doing it although I dry mine and the then coffee grinder and actually add the comfrey powder. I do like the idea of adding some essential oils. Thank you

You can put the leaves in a paper bag and leave them in a hot car for a week or so.works great.

I've heard Comfrey has medicinal properties. This is the first video I have seen that shows how to make it useful. Thanks!

You Got Our Sub!

I would like to see the texture of the finished product

Subbed, thank you

That was easy, thanks for sharing ❤

Thanks loved this! By any chance can you tell me the song in the background?

I would suggest that you add you essential oils after the oils and wax have melted and cooled a few minutes, otherwise the oil just vapouring in the hot mix

Hello< thank you for the wonderful video on Comfrey!! can i use tried comfrey that i bought at an Herb store they come in a small bag

hiya, great and informaitve video. any idea as to how much output the 24oz (liquid) + 4oz beeswax produces? many thanks, Jamie

Wonderful video! How do you clean your bowl? I’ve wondered about this a while.

Great video! Increased use of hand sanitizer this year has been rough on hands. I know it shouldn't be used on deep cuts, but wonder if it'd be useful on dry cracked hands? Would something like this be good for that?

How about using a blender to pulverize comfrey leaves into slightly warmed liquid coconut oil. Then simply pour into the salve jar and let the coconut oil resolidify at room temperature.

Hi there, I was wondering if you used a measuring cup off camera to measure 2 cups of comfrey? Do you crush the comfrey before you measure it? Thanks for a great video.

Hi! Loved the “how to” video! I was wondering if you have or would ever consider using the leaves in a compress or poultice to speed up the healing process?

For some reason, I am only getting the audio on this episode-no video, just a black screen. Is anyone else having this issue? I am listening on my iPhone. Thanks for the information.

Thankyou for an informative video. Just wanted to quickly ask what you used the dry comfrey for? Was the comfrey in the olive oil dried before hand or was it used fresh?

Recommend you try heating it up using a crock pot instead of the stove.

❤❤

I have beeswax sheets I can get! Can I use those, would the sheets work just as well as the melts?Thanks in advance :)

Wondering how to make a comfrey compress. Kinda like those pain patches. ?

How much beeswax did you use to the quart of olive oil? Would appreciate more instructions for ingredient quantities.

Hello, my comfrey oil separated (dark on bottom and lighter on top) how do i get it to merge? thank you!

Do you squeeze the leaves to extract as much olive oil as possible? Would it work to prepare and strain the leaves/oil before melting the wax?

Some people say that if you use olive oil as the base, it can go rancid during hot weather or if kept in an overly warm room. Have you had any problems with it going off?

Buen día si podría traducir al español. Gracias.

thanks so much for the video. I'm new to trying to make my own salves. Can I use fresh beeswax from a local apiary? TIA

What about using the instant pot to infuse the oil?

Hi from the UK Im looking for a salve for sciatica pain will this work.

my nostrils are irritated from using a cpap machine. going to try comfrey

I just picked my comfrey and drying it. Can i use a slow cooker on warm with the olive oil? Thank you.

How does a person dry them and be sure it's that exact temperature ?

Can I heat the comfrey and oil in the instant pot on the yogurt setting to speed up the infusion?

Hi there I just ran into your Channel today as well my beeswax arrived today. I believe you pronounce salve the L is silent. That could just be a West Coast thing I'm not sure. Great video

Can this be done with coconut oil instead of bees wax? Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering where can one purchase Comfrey?

can I have a written recipe?

I'm chair bound and can't garden. What can I get to regenerate my hip? I've been refusing surgery for a replacement. Does it come pre-made, where can I buy this? Thanks

I bought natural beeswax pastilles from Michael's. It has a warning to not put on the skin. Now I'm afraid to use it. Is there a difference between candle wax and what I would buy for comfrey salve

I have a question. You showed us the dried comfrey. But I did not see that you put any in the salve. Can you use the dried comfrey in salve and if so, how?

Kinda makes no sense to use it after the fact of a wound. By the time it’s closed up it’s already scarring and the pain isn’t as bad?

Just wondering why my comfrey leaves are browning at the edges. I'm a first time grower

What are the measurements of oil? :)

Can we use grated beeswax from local bee farm? If so, how much?

I have tons of comfrey leaves I just cut them to make a salve but I didnt know I was supposed to dry the leaves first. If I manage to find a way to dry them how long do they need to be in there before I can make the salve ?

I would love to make this salve, I am new to herbal medicine this year as I'm only 17 and I haven't got any comfrey plants as I am trying to find a good spot for a couple so I will have to purchase dried comfrey. Will it matter if the leaves are in tiny pieces instead of large pieces because that is how they are sold near me? and would halving the recipe be ok? thank you (sorry if these are silly q's)

Will lecithin help to infuse, optional or not necessary ?

I’ve been using castor oil warm packs for many aches and pains in my body because we refuse to take any medication made by big HARMA. I am a registered nurse since 1998 and I’m astonished at the big HARMA payments to doctors who continue to push their lies. So much deception in medicine. I’m sorry I became a nurse………..😩

Can you use dried comfrey root powder to make a salve?

Does the salve help osteoporosis?

Can I use dried comfrey?

Where do I find comfrey plant like this?

can a person use castor oil instead of EVOO?

I heard not to use olive oil as it can go rancid over time. Is this true?

Can you use castor oil instead of olive oil?

Can you make this with the comfrey brought from Amazon?

Where can I get comfrey

Can i use coconut oil instead of olive.

Just burned my finger with a melting air hose. Instant kung fu artist!!!! Gonna have comfrey available next time. I used running water for 5-7 minutes. Then mustard from the fridge. Ahhhhhhhh. Washed it 2-3 times. Now I’m sitting with a big chunk of aloe Vera I’m growing.

Thisyutttt

Comfrey is NON toxic internally or externally. What’s Rosie is cigarettes and alcohol which are legal and very deadly.

YOU DON'T NEED TO DRY IT FIRST. YOU. AN SIMPLY PUT THE PLANT MATTER IN JAR, ADD OIL, LET SIT 5-6 WEEKS, STRAIN PLANT MATTER OUT STORE IN DARK COOL LOCATION IN AMBER GLASS BOTTLE.

Can you use soy wax?

You didn't measure out the oil after it had infused. You will never have the same amount since the dry leaves will soak up quite a bit. Always 1oz of beeswax for each cup of oil. If it's not the correct ratio it could be too hard.

Did you know that British English speakers pronounce the “L” in SALVE, but in the correct American dialect the “L” is actually SILENT.

I am trying to listen to you, and I want to but my ear keeps drawing me to the music. Why play it at the same time? Please, one or the other, in this case, your voice.

If you use the ROOTS instead of the LEAVES or a MIX of BOTH, will that also have the same healing properties as using the LEAVES alone???

One week 😮Are you sure . I dont think that is long enough. I was told at least 6 weeks.
