36yrs ago I ate Comfrey throughout the 9mths of pregnancy. Strong teeth and bones. Glowing skin and hair. Ate comfrey in stew, raw salads or juicing. Am going to try oil. Thank you for your video. Yum😋 cheers
Amazing salve. I reccomend making it with coconut oil and or adding bees wax so that it is firmer and more manageable for application. For arthritis deep bone pain breaks and even nerve pain...excellent better than cbd oil IMO. I use it on my legs at night so that I can sleep without being kept up with pain.
They do say not to injest it but has been done historically. I think those with cancer or kidney problems should be aware that even topically it is high in alkaline levels.
@@soulair8081 from what I have been able to find out the study that claims comfrey is bad to eat looked at mice that were injected with extractions from comfrey. Not really good science. But I have heard traditional herbalists say it should be eaten in moderation.
@@soulair8081 Who are “they” and what are their qualifications? Ingestion in moderation is fine as is comfrey tea. Don’t believe everything you read. Comfrey has been used medicinally for a very long time. It’s great for animals, providing many trace nutrients. I feed it to my pigs, chickens, rabbits, dog and turkey. I don’t care for the taste or I’d use it in salads. The tea is nearly tasteless. It works to promote healing as it is high in allantoin.
@@soulair8081I've had the tea in small doses my whole life. Just recently heard it's bad for your liver. Maybe they came across this as they did with wormwood/ absinthe.
You should "boil" off all moisture. The moisture could make the salve moldy. A lot of recipe calls for drying the comfrey first before steeping the oil out. A few drops of Vitamin E can help preserve your salve. Mixing bees wax into the oil would create a thicker paste.

You seem knowledgable and I wanted to use Castor oil. Do you think that would be ok? Thank you,T
Maybe don't use 100% castor oil but only a small amount mixed in with other light oil. @@stupidusedrnames
I put the jars in a sunny place for five or six weeks and not cook. You did a great video 👍👍
I will do this, thank you very much for the video!!
Great information .what can I use if i don't have beeswax
Do you wash the comfrey first to remove any bugs and dirt?
I have a batch of comfrey to harvest, hope it is enough!
If you would leave the lid off the condensation would not build up or have to wipe it off.
I was wondering that too. but maybe it also would be exposed to elements outside of the pot!
