Comefrey is amazing. My second ever salve was comefrey and calendula, it helped heal my daughters broken neck! The doctor was shocked as he thought he was going to have to perform surgery and fuse her C1 and C2. Now did I write that formula down? No. 😂 So yes, I need to wtite it down! Comefrey and devils club has helped my Aunts vericose leg pain and sores. Thank you April. I would have been afraid to try these things without your amazing encouragement!
@@betty8769 for how many days has she used it for her neck plz? Because it's usually advised not to use comfrey for more than 10 days consecutively. I don't know whether it's the truth or just fear mongering because comfrey is a miracle plant
and loved how you explained all the Glycerin / water / alcohol extraction business so I finally cemented all of that as well! You're the only herbalist that explains things so | understand.
Thank you so much for sharing your lived experience and wisdom gained. 20 years ago I experimented for a year making a lotion bar without any recipes available at the time. We were a family of rock climbers and the chalk would dry our hands out and all that was available was a brand of oil/wax that came in a tin, pre Burts Bees, it might have been Climb On. I finally came up with one that had the right blend of oils and waxes that was soft enough in the winter but didn't turn into soup in the summer. I used to sell it in my local Rock Climbing gym and a Natural food store for a couple years. It was well liked by nurses and climbers, but the insurance cost was killing me so I stopped producing. Only make it for family now. Now in my 60s I needed to see this to gain that same young confidence I had back then, so thank you! Going to try my hand again at creating formulas for pain/healing salves.
And thank you by the way, above everything else you do and teach, the biggest thing you do for me is give me confidence to actually put my knowledge and passion into practice x
Thank you for this video! I typically make very small batches as it's just for my household. After forgetting to label one jar of a tincture, i decided labelling was the way to go for sure, and i wrote what i did on each jar. So the recipe stays with the product because i dutifully wrote what i did in a notebook, and the notebook is MIA. Sigh. So now, it's on the jar AND in a new notebook. I have learned so much from you, thank you! Because of you i have comfey infused castir oil in the shelf. Thick, yes, but it works well.

I love watching your brain work. You are such a valuable asset in my life. I truly appreciate the way you break it down. Thank you for taking the time to inform us. Many blessings 🧙
Whether or not I make the things in your video, I always enjoy watching your videos because you are definitely a real human being and I love it! Have yourself a wonderful day April and keep on healing!
I soooo LOVE learning from you! Thank you for sharing!! HugS! Love your humour!! I need to find arnica, I thought it was in my yard for a while because a friend told me I had it, but when I wanted to use it and started researching it and realized I had cup plant in my yard, which has it’s own benefits too. I made a cream with comfrey for the first time last year and a few people told me it helped with their pain. I was wondering how to make a cream with the water and wow witch hazel, thank you!! I’m excited!
So good to see you again, April. This content was perfect timing. Both my husband and I have had recent bone and muscle injuries. It’s giving me ideas I haven’t already tried to easy our pain.
April, I have been a home herbalist for over 35 years and have always been afraid of percentages due to my lack of understanding. You have given me the courage to give this a try! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ❤
Memories being what they are, it makes a TON of sense to write formulas down and how they worked. Also you can have as you say records of customised formulations. This is going to be something to look into for myself. Record keeping is so important for so many reasons and a few minutes here and there make a HUGE difference later. I like the warning you gave as well about both herbs and essential oils, thank you for being open in these issues. This did cut out though which was sad because I was really enjoying listening to you. New subbie.
April, I couldn’t agree with you more. When I watch videos on salves, teas, tinctures and such. When they start out chaotic and dirty, I can’t finish watching them. If they aren’t careful enough to be clean I can’t trust their judgment.
April that’s great information. I have mine in the freezer, but it’s just because I wanted to cut them all before the frost. I didn’t know. I did all those great things in the freezer. That’s amazing.
Thank you april! It’s good to see you again. I would love to see a video of how to make kefir cheese (or any kefir recipes really) if that’s something you’re interesting in sharing?
April, that was more than I was ready for. I thought, listen with an open mind open heart. I got soooo much information how to make this and more. You my love are a blessing. Thank you, to the moon and back. ✨🌸V
That was a super helpful vid. Thanks April. I just made a comfrey balm…and failed to put in any preservative/germicide. I just didn’t think about it because I usually make a salve. I need to start over, since it’s for a friend and I wouldn’t want it to go bad. 😵💫😓😬
My goodness!!!!! Thank you, I’m going to have to watch this again to catch all the percentages 😮 I love all the tips you give-comfrey- continues to breakdown, arnica-pick with gloves on❤
Love watching this, from Western Australia. I am currently using comfrey balm on my hip area, attempting to remedy osteopaenia without having a THJR. Maybe it will be healed by the years later that I will be on a waiting list for it, something I am NOT agreeable to having. The comfrey helps with the pain I'm also using a balm made by a fellow herbal witch, some ingredients are amanita, artemesia datura and comfrey, she's omitted the benzoin that I am allergic to. This works well as analgesic and overall well being
I have been trying to find info on making a pain gel and here you are today! Thank you! I want to order the plant cellulose to do this but cannot locate 'Heck Plant Cellulose' so I must not know what I'm talking about! Would you please tell me what I'm looking for? Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder? Thanks so much for all of your fabulous videos, April. You have taught us so much. I so appreciate you!
@ - Can I substitute my own tinctures for the extracts? Is there a reason for the extract vs. a homemade tincture? Thanks so much for taking the time to respond and give all of this info. You so ROCK!! ❤
I just want to say. ... ... THANK YOU PLUS I like the word swips around on your hand I'm going to use that in my scrabble game! I want you to live longer then me because I'm not going tondo th9s herbalist stuff. Doing way too many other things and like you said if something or SOMEONE is smarter or more talented then why not use them or it to perform better or use better things. You yes YOU ARE that for me. Thank you. Many blessings honestly. I buy and have shared with others to buy very important!!!!
Well, I fell in love with you in the first moment of this video! lol I love your giggle ☺ I am fascinated with herbs and natural remedies. I want to take a course or something to learn as much as I can! You are so knowledgeable! I am in awe! Do you teach people, like in a class or offer apprenticeship? I would love to learn from you. I am in south Florida. Probably no where near you. lol Anyway, I am a new subscriber and will be learning from you now! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom here. I love TH-cam. Your dad sure is a lucky man to have you! I hope you are welcomed with joy, good health and prosperity! 🤟🌴🌸🪴🌼🍀🌹🍃🦋🌿🐝
So great to see you!!! I'm curious as to the bought arnica and cayenne extract. Could the two of these be made ( separately) with alcohol or glycerin? I'm hoping to grow arnica this year and was wondering if there is a reason you have what appears to be NOT something you made. ❤ Thank you for all your knowledge and time, I share your videos and tell people about you all the time I love your humaness and easy instructions ❣️
In my mind I was like woo cayenne and arnica is a fiery hot blend lol but I love comfrey as a nice moist cool balance. I'm sure this will be a very nice gel!
All is well. Thinking of what to make next while we rest in winter. Maybe a lavender oil. I love the scent of lavender overall. But maybe some pain topical as well since I have arthritis as well. Hm. Thinking..thinking... Something else I think you just help me decide is a scale.
TY I learn so much watching you and love how real you are. Question: So other than what you made for Dad. ( love it) you're not making these at your home anymore? an outside lab/facility making your salves etc.that you sell following your formulas?? no judgment just wondering . sure you have great oversight of what is being created. Looking into options for doing similar , and the logistics of such an endeavor. Do you have classes on business structure? TY for your beautiful self!
You're videos are always well timed. My husband has been dealing with sore weird shoulder. How much did this formula make in the end? My MIL is an arnica convert after a fall down the stairs several years ago so if I can get her a bottle and one for my husband it would probably be enough.
Hey April I love you and your brain 😆. Would this recipe help my "old lady" meniscus tear with bone on bone femur and tibia? I had a steroid injection and the Ortho Surgeon fortunately wasn't trying to rush surgery. I don't like the idea of anymore injections and always seeking alternatives. Thank you fir letting us know we are smart enough to do it. Love and blessings.💖
Such an intense video! You always Amaze me, you really know your stuff! I would be very happy to see you later on a small video on your dad's testimony. And then if you're going to sell that?
I got a bit confused when the next day, stuff was already strained, it was reheating and you spoke of heck (qhich you added later). What the heck is heck? Love the blue dress. :)
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe .🙂 I heard you can use avocado pits and 70% Robin alcohol. 🤔🙂🤔 And then you can add cayenne pepper. 🌶️ You allow it to format in the rubbing alcohol for a week or two strain it out place it in a glass spraying bottles and use it on arthritis pain. 🤔 We'll have to do some of this wonderful recipe you are given for my husband Julie has joint pain . 🤔
My granddaughter has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The pain is so bad that it causes her to throw up. I'm giving her wild lettuce tincture for the pain and that seems to help. Is there something else that I can use to decrease help with the pain?
Hey April, Love your video's. I made an ashwagandha tincture, but it got very cloudy and sticky. It feels like tree sap and smells like tree sap. Where did I go wrong? 100 proof vodka
Can I ask your thoughts about using comfrey on a neck with hardware/ fusion? Do you think that could push the hardware out of the bones ? I have heard yes and I have heard no.
Here's an easy thing to remember about percentages...convert to a fraction, then multiply ... 100% = 1 10% = 0.1 1% = 0.01 So 1.5% of 966 grams.. 966 × 0.015 = 14.49 grams ...and grateful for converter apps on the internet...like converting square feet to acres or °F to °C.
Hey Mrs. April👋😁first and foremost I love what you do and can't thank you enough for the knowledge you share❤I have been following you for a while now and trust your knowledge and judgment 🧐🫡I was wondering if you could recommend like an herbal encyclopedia for lack of better words you might know of. I am seeking a book that informs me on like the qualities, characteristics, uses, and drug or, in this case, herbal interactions! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thank you kindly again for all you do. You are truly a blessing 🙌 💖 🙏!
It's horrible at destabilizing formulas but also please know it's dangerous. It wouldn't just "get herbs deeply in the skin" it would get the compounds into the bloodstream which can be dangerous depending on the herb. Also, it's (DMSO) really hard on your organs and a lot of the health claims people are trusting come from unfounded claims. It became a fad in 2020 and people just ran with it.

Thank you for all your knowledge and time, I share your videos and tell people about you all the time I love your humaness and easy instructions ❣️
You could make an arnica tincture for sure, I like what I'm using as it's far more concentrated and with a tincture you'll need to add way more.
@sheisofthewoods Gotcha Thank you so much for answering that. ♥️
Thank you April.
Are there particular times you freeze herbs rather than dry herbs? Thanks! And so glad you're feeling better!!
I typically freeze berries/blooms/mushrooms 😊
@@sheisofthewoodsBerries, blooms & mushrooms. 🧘♀️
@@jackiedilworth6112 Is this actual "freezing" or freeze dried?
Looks like April responded she typically freezes.
How you preserve your plant material depends on how you're making your remedy.
In my mind I was like woo cayenne and arnica is a fiery hot blend lol but I love comfrey as a nice moist cool balance. I'm sure this will be a very nice gel!
Thank you

All is well. Thinking of what to make next while we rest in winter. Maybe a lavender oil. I love the scent of lavender overall. But maybe some pain topical as well since I have arthritis as well. Hm. Thinking..thinking... Something else I think you just help me decide is a scale.

Made in a home kitchen probably about 6 months, in a cleaner non food area properly about a year.
Great video, thank you! How much germal liquid in this formula?
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe .🙂
I heard you can use avocado pits and 70% Robin alcohol.
🤔🙂🤔
And then you can add cayenne pepper. 🌶️
You allow it to format in the rubbing alcohol for a week or two strain it out place it in a glass spraying bottles and use it on arthritis pain. 🤔
We'll have to do some of this wonderful recipe you are given for my husband Julie has joint pain . 🤔

I'm so new to all this. I've never heard of the first frozen plant you used or where to get any 😢

I made an ashwagandha tincture, but it got very cloudy and sticky. It feels like tree sap and smells like tree sap. Where did I go wrong? 100 proof vodka

Can I ask your thoughts about using comfrey on a neck with hardware/ fusion? Do you think that could push the hardware out of the bones ? I have heard yes and I have heard no.
Great video! Will you be selling this in your shop? I hope
Here's an easy thing to remember about percentages...convert to a fraction, then multiply ...
100% = 1
10% = 0.1
1% = 0.01
So 1.5% of 966 grams..
966 × 0.015 = 14.49 grams
...and grateful for converter apps on the internet...like converting square feet to acres or °F to °C.
Yep but when calculating a specific formula it's always best to check your math against a computer because little mistakes can ruin a batch 😊
@@sheisofthewoods100% 😉

Yep, it'll probably be pretty pungent smelling though
Why not use DMSO to get herbs deeply into skin? Also could white willow bark be added as another pain/ swelling reliever.
It's horrible at destabilizing formulas but also please know it's dangerous. It wouldn't just "get herbs deeply in the skin" it would get the compounds into the bloodstream which can be dangerous depending on the herb. Also, it's (DMSO) really hard on your organs and a lot of the health claims people are trusting come from unfounded claims. It became a fad in 2020 and people just ran with it.
Do you sell this already made?
