Comfrey Salve Recipe #1
Infusing the oil:
Fill a canning jar full of comfrey leaves and then pour pure olive oil over the
leaves. Let this sit in a warm place for at least 2 weeks.
Make salve:
Drain oil from comfrey leaves. Melt 2-3 ounces of beeswax in a double boiler. Stir
in infused oil a little at a time. Continue to stir in oil until the mixture
reaches desired consistency.
Store:
Store the salve in small glass jars and seal them tightly. Keep in a cool dark
place until ready to use. Do not place in open wounds or take internally.

About Me

- Hi Folks! My name is Candy and I have been married to my best friend, my one true love, Steve, for 11 years now. We are a combined family with 7 grown kids and 14 grandbabies. Our children are all over the US; Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii. We are proudly owned and operated by an ever growing menagerie of animals: parrots, parakeets, cockatiels and cockatoos, dogs, cats, chickens, and 2 rabbits. We have a huge garden in the summer, planted fruit trees and grape vines last year, can food from the garden, sew, quilt and make our own soap. Needless to say, we live in the country, have an avid interest in homesteading and how to make it do-able on a small acreage plot of ground. We've had alot of successes, a couple of near misses and a couple of "really missed the target" in our venture and look forward to sharing them like-minded folks.
