Comfrey is beloved by kitchen witches and is
one of the best-known healing herbs of all times. It has even been referred to
as “a one-herb pharmacy” for the inherent curative powers. Well-known and widely used by early Greeks
and Romans, its very name, symphytum, from the Greek symphyo means to "make grow together,"
referring to its traditional use of healing fractures. Comfrey relieves pain
and inflammation. Comfrey salve will be a mainstay of your home first aid kit.
Use it on cuts, scrapes, rashes, sunburn, and almost any skin irritation. Comfrey
salve can also bring comfort to aching arthritic joints, and sore muscles.
3/4 cup comfrey-infused oil
1/4 cup coconut oil
4 tablespoons beeswax
10 drops lavender essential oil
Combine comfrey
and coconut oils. Heat the oil and wax together until the wax melts completely.
Pour into a clean, dry jar. When the mixture has cooled a little, but not yet
set, add 10 drops of lavender essential oil which is also an antiseptic. Seal
the jar and store in a cabinet to use
anytime you scratch yourself working in the garden or want to renew and soften
your hands and feet after a lot of house and yard work. One note, use it on the outside of your skin
and it will work wonders but if a cut is deep, don’t get it inside the wound.
Let your physician handle that. Comfrey is a miracle plant for healing; in
combination with the lavender, this power duo will restore your spirit along
with your skin.
