The comfrey root is what contains allantoin, which is the cell regenerator. The leaves are for pain relief and work great. I make a comfrey salve with leaf and root and I can't even say how many people use it now. One guy at church went in for back surgery and the dr cut a nerve and he's been on opiates for years, until I offered him a jar of my salve. No more opiates and he smiles all the time. Works like a miracle and is my favorite herb. Yarrow is great as well. Herbs are so much fun to work with.
Everything I've researched about comfrey says that allantoin is also in the leaves but at a lesser strength. I've been making and using comfrey leaf salve for a couple or so years and am convinced of it's cell regeneration abilities. Such an amazing plant ❤
gretchen, will you please share how you make your salve? I have such bad back pain and even after two surgeries, and I don't want to be on opiates. Thank you, in advance, for your reply, Cats
@@catsebn927 Me, too!
@@linda51464 could you share your recipe or direct us to it, please😊
@@carolynfulton4060 I shared a link but it disappeared so I guess I'm not allowed to do that. Carolyn gave the basic directions I use here in this video. Rain Country channel, and She is of the Woods channel both share good directions. Also I saw a commenter here share directions. ❤
A couple of tips for your viewers: if you heat only the beeswax in a double boiler, you can add the oil once the wax is melted and the heat is off. That way you don’t have to warm the herbal oil and risk reducing its potency. Also, when making the herbed oil, give it a good little bit in the blender before jarring it up and letting it sit. This releases a good deal more of the plant’s constituents into the oil and you’ll have a much stronger end product. 😊
but the cold oil would solidify the wax on contact so you would still need to heat it through
Yeah, the wax will seize & you have to heat it longer to get a uniform salve
Thanks @LMD That’s great advice!! 👏
if I can ask,,,my cream has bits of beezwax that was totally melted, yet the cream is grindy...any suggestions to not have this? Thank you in advance
@@akashaofthenile6077mix in a double boiler.
Have not used antibiotic ointment for years😱‼️I am a Registered Nurse many years and support herbal medicinals. I use Calendula Cream, Silver drops, silver gel and Manuka Honey bandages….kudos to you for promoting the herbal alternative👏🏼💚💙!!!
Traditional fabric bandages are problematic; they soak up medicine and stick to the wound as it scabs over. A more functional concept is to use at least 6 mil clear flexible polypropylene. I buy 48" rolls for many purposes. Cut useable sizes. Sterilize in alcohol or bleach and when dry store in good lid container. I apply salve of Manukian honey, she's butter and other herbs onto the polypropylene and then directly onto the wound. It is held in place with compression wrap or packaging roll film with tape securing the wrap. All of the salve is in direct contact with no pad absorption and no sticking to wound.
Brilliant! Never thought if that. Thank you for posting!! 🥰🥰👃✌️🇨🇦@MakerBoyOldBoy
Adopt and re-raise me, please. 😅 I just love the land, the garden, and the healthy choices. That's all the heaven on earth you need😍 peaceful
"Adopt and re-raise me"...... Interesting.... 🥰. As a senior, any possibility.... ?? ♥️🥰🥰🥰👃✌️🇨🇦
Your baby is so sweet, I just want to hug him and kiss his little head. . My baby is 44 now.
Yes, Bee Balm, also referred to as Horse Mint, or Bergamot herb, a member of the mint family, not to be confused with Citrus Bergamot which is an entirely different plant with different properties. Its often called Bergamot because of its aroma. But has no relationship to true citrus Bergamot. Bee Balm is wonderful for repairing damaged skin tissue. As is Comfrey and Plantain. Love what you are sharing dear lady! I'm 69 and have been into this study since I was 15. I'm so happy its being shared by you and this generation. One heard very little about it in my younger day. PS, I would never leave any moisture in a plant that goes into oil though. Better not to risk it.
I was sad because I have no Yarrow or Bee Balm, but instead have Rose Geranium, Nasturtiums, Rosemary and Comfrey. So after all, I'll end up with a very nice mix as long as I don't overdo the Rosemary amounts. Oh, and I may have some Lavender still flowering as well. I'm going to pop them into the food dryer on very low and slow, and give this method a try once they're nicely dry.
Can herbs be freeze dried?
@@ddbaldwin8324 "You can freeze dry all herbs, and you can even freeze dry different herbs in one batch or with other foods. Freeze dried herbs retain all of their flavor and will keep for years, just like they were fresh, if packaged properly."
To use the comfrey root, would you just chop it up and add it to the oil?
@katharinabirch2464 You would wash it, dry/dehydrate, then tincture it in high proof vodka, strain, bottle, then add a couple drops to the salve recipe.
I “worry” for nothing, because I cast all my cares upon the Lord- I highly recommend it..
My g grand mother was an ojibou healer, her poultices and practices are still a part of our lives and saved my grandads leg from gangrene. He stabbed his leg carving my violin when he was twelve . 1904 .
My grand father was right off a reservation and we grew up learning about these plants. Yarrow root has so many uses. Along with plantain(pigears),and comfrey. We make salves and tea. Be careful if you are planning to process your own yarrow root the numbing effect can be so effective that you might cut yourself and not realize it if doing bulk harvesting. Pretty handy that the plant also stops bleeding lol
When making herbal oils, it's best to use fully dried herbs. It isn't just mold that you need to worry about, there are some bacteria that can taint the oil if there's any water. Even the small amount in wilted herbs. Also, letting the oil steep for ~6-8 weeks is better than letting it steep over heat for a few hours.
I can see your point, but wouldn't you lose some of the beneficial oils from the plants by letting them completely dry out?
Totally agree. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to people but you don't want your medicine contaminated with bacteria and you certainly don't want it to mold in the container. My comfrey salve sits for a month to "percolate" and draw out all the medicine from the root. You get more potency if you give it time.
@@charmc4152 I would say it's negligible. Also, dried herbs take up less space than raw, so you're probably going to get more potency because you will be using more herbs i.e. half cup raw herb is less herbs than a half cup dried. Only time I use raw is if I'm going to ingest it immediately.
@@charmc4152 Drying most foods seems to concentrate nutrients; also all those illustrations you see of apothecary and herbal shops have bunches of dried herbs everywhere. As long as the drying process doesn't involve too high a heat, there should be minimal losses. Lavender sachets contain dried lavender flower heads, and retain their aroma for ages, for example.
@@gretchenhaugen7303 Thank you for responding. 👍
If I have a cut, bite, or burn to tend to, I go out and get a sedum leaf. I prefer the autumn joy variety. Just take the leaf and scrape one side. Put it directly on the affected area. Takes just a few minutes. The most important thing I've found that it works on is arthritis. I have 2 sisters who suffered from it until we tried it on their hands. We took the leaves, mashed them up, and added coconut oil. The worst pain took about 3 days, and the pain was gone! Mild soreness disappeared in about 10 minutes. Amazing the wonderful plants our Lord has given us
How did you mash the leaves up? I am very curious about this remedy
@@artbylauri I just take a serrated knife and scrape one side of the leaf until I see the inside of the leaf. I take it and put that side of the leaf against the cut, burn, or bite and let it stay there for at least 5 minutes. I hope this helps!
how long/often did you apply the mashed leaves/oil?
Is there a specific sedum variety?
@@ninagerulski8832 I grow autumn joy
I'm benefitting from all the comments from experienced herbalists - wow - so much good advice. CZcams is a curse AND a blessing.
I 💯 agree!
I made my first antibiotic salve today with yarrow, chamomile, comfrey, and calendula. I had made the oil 2 months ago and finally made my salve! So excited to finally use my medicinal herbs.
Wonderful!
That's awesome 👍
Is it possible to use this for mursa?
That's the same recipe I use. 👍
This women is a wealth of knowledge. I am so glad I came across your videos
To avoid wasting, you can measure the proper amounts directly into the jar you’re using and place the jar into the pot of water. Make sure you have something on the bottom of your pan, like a canning jar ring or trivet, you just don’t want the jar resting directly on the bottom of the pan. Also, you don’t want any water to boil up into your jar, so make sure your water level only comes up to about half the jar and don’t get your water to more then a small simmer. Hope this helps.
This is what I do
How long does the strength of the salve last?
@@JanColdwater she did state the Vitamin E helps it last for about 2 years. You can extend this time by keeping it in your Refrigerator. I personally just grow my own herbs in the garden and bag dried leaves every year for use. The essential oils I keep refrigerated.
You don't want to boil the water and kill the benefits ofvyhe salve. Just heat enough to melt beeswax
Thank you
I read the book EXTRA VIRGINITY and I learned about the counterfeiting of imported extra virgin olive oil, EVOO. I later learned 80% imported was counterfeit. I looked for our Olive Oil and found several growers in the USA and ordered oil from Georgia. Very GOOD !!!
@By the piece
Is there any chance you could share where you’re getting your olive oil from? I’ve been getting from Sams club because there was nothing else .. I’d be most grateful!
Where in Ga do you get your olive oil could you send me a link to where I can buy this oil
Will you please share where you ordered the olive oil from? TIA
I am also interested in getting the real deal instead of the counterfeit, please & thank u!!
You need a “thank you” button. 😀 that was great!
For a decade we have used this: mix a couple of oregano oil capsuls with Coconut oil about 1/2 cup total. Keeps forever, kills anything. Heat the coconut oil slightly, mix in the oregano oil, pour off into small salve or plastic screw top container for travel.
I love this! Thank you!
What do you use it for ? You say it kills everything
Carolyn, I have all of the seeds mentioned. Thank you so much for giving us a printable recipe. Your baby is beautiful.
Comfrey also is amazing for under your eyes when mixed with witch hazel. It gets rid of black circles.
I would love to try this! Witch hazel herb or the liquid.?
@@rachelbronson1809 liquid. Just put about 1 cup of witch hazel into a jar and add some leaves if Comfrey. I put a strainer on the lid of the jar and use a cotton ball soaked in it to wipe away dark circles under the eyes. My BIL thought it was magical because he always had dark circle under his eyes and it just took it away. Had to use it every day for him but only once in a while for me. 😉 also would add some mugwort to it when I had it and would store it on a cool dark place in glass bottle. 😉
Interesting. Do you have any snoring cures. I'm thinking something astringent but OK to gargle with...
I wouldn't use that near the eyes witch hazle is a huge irritant.
I watched 15min of this vid and just had to SUB! I love the simple, no-nonsense, honest and easy way she explains and discusses options- it made me feel like i was having a conversation w/her bcs she was answering questions my mind was asking at every step!! So excited about this channel!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!
@@HomesteadingFamily -Why wouldn't you want to use comfry for puncture wounds? Just wondering. I have some deep puncture wounds from a cat attack. Continual salt soaks reversed the red streaks & infection but the punctures are taking a long time to close up. His incisor sank deep into the back of my wrist & it's still unusable. I wouldn't want to use any of this if it would not be good. Please let me know. Thanks.
@@HomesteadingFamilyhi I’m excited to make an herbal oil infusion but am uneasy about this whole botulism thing. How do you avoid it. Thank you!
@brendaann727 I have heard that comfrey heals the deep wound too fast. Because of this, the infection can be closed up inside & not be allowed to drain out.
@@renamaemcdonald2075 - Thanks for the explaination. A similiar thing can happen when you try to treat skin cancer from the outside. The skin heals but the cancer goes deeper in. My horse had skin cancer & topical things were only minimally effective. It worked much better to change her diet to get to the source of the problem .
With my cat punctures, I just kept on with the salt soaks, but when I did an anti-bacterial cruciferous diet for 3 days, I'm very happy to say that the source of the infection was finally healed. 🕊
Hi Carolyn, you’re living the best life! I’m so grateful that you share your wonderful knowledge and show us what can happen when a husband and wife live out the Biblical plan for marriage and family. Despite my most determined and stubborn efforts for 35 years, God has instructed me to a much different life, and I’m starting to embrace the change rather than fight and resent it. I’m in a massive transition, and the challenges are greater than anything I’ve ever had. God’s got my back, I have a newly developing attitude of anticipation and I try hard to let go of what I wanted for my life and be content wherever I am. Still, you are a beautiful example of how I wished my life to look. God bless you, Josh, your family, your church, and your community!🙏
❤ Thank you! Am a country gal who lived off the grind and learned how important this idem is.. loved how you show us how to make this..Christy from Colville, Wa..😊
I want to just thank you for your channel. The knowledge from your own research and experience through the years is seriously priceless! You have kindly shared the recipes & info from your videos through easily found links as well, that are very much appreciated. I have watched you for years and you are an inspiration that many can (and should - esp. in these days) benefit from. You are a lovely young woman (I am 73!) and you and your husband have raised a beautiful family. May God bless you, always! P.S. Congratulations on your new baby. 🌹❤️🙏
Add baking soda into the hot dish water, and it helps to remove any stuck on food or smells!!! An amish friend taught me that for canning jars, and I use it all the time now!!!
Thank you for making herbal remedies seem so easy and not intimidating!
I had no idea that I was going to love this,, but I did,, really appreciate it
Coconut oil works great too
for healing especially gums
& teeth. ❤🥥
You have a delightful calm about. Can't believe I watched it all, and even rewound a couple of details.
My family used lanolin on cuts, scrapes, and chapped skin. It has anti fungal, anti bacterial, and anti viral properties. It’s also wonderful in the healing process, sometimes no scar at all. It might be missing the anti inflammatory component and maybe not pain relief.
I heard Lanolin is full of residual pesticides in the sheep’s lanolin wool- from the sheep getting dipped to control diseases.
Your kitchen is beautiful, with all those lovely jars of preserved foods on the shelves! I wish I could live this way, I think its the ideal existence.

Herbal salves work! I make one that works BETTER then 3X antibiotic cream. I did a side by side comparison, on several cuts, on several people. Better infection control, skin regeneration, and pain relief. I researched my formula and chose specifically.
Glad to see another great recipe! And j strongly suggest people watching this video actually DO this. They really do work better and stronger!😂
Please your recipe with us here?
I love plant medicine!
Please share your recipe.❤
Yes, please share!
Yes, plz share !
Well, in my recipe, you have to make the plant oil. I use sunflower / olive oil blend. My method is a little technical, but there's reasons for it.
I use Plantain for my oil. Comfrey heals outside to inside. Hence , you don't want to use it for puncture wounds. Plantain heals inside to out.
Collect the Plantain and dry overnight. Then rip it apart, and put it in a 9x12 glass cake pan. Cover with the sunflower/olive oil blend. Heat in a small toaster oven to 120 -125° do NOT exceed this temperature, or you deteriorate the critical enzymes in the Plantain. With the bees wax. Do NOT exceed 130° -135° ( this is a trick told to me by an 85 y.o. master bee keeper.) Keep at the Plantain heating for 24-36 hrs.
Here goes the recipe:
1 cup Plantain oil
1/4 cup melted bees wax.
1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
15 drops essential oil of:
Lavender,Teatree,Peppermint, Clove, Lemon.
Add the essential oils and Plantain oil. Gently mix them in. I do this to the warm Plantain oil. Pour the slightly cooled melted beeswax into the warm Plantain oil. Working quickly. Pour this into small jars.
There are reasons to use these combinations and ingredients. I've poured over hours and hours of research to perfect this recipe. I can't keep up with the demand for this salve. One person actually wanted to invest in me to patent it!! He was THAT impressed with the results it gives. Of course, I, like other herbalists, feel that it is not ours to hoard, and get wealthy. It is ours to share this knowledge and pass it along. If you would like further information on this please feel free to ask.
Great video, thank you! A French press is a great way to squeeze everything out. I do that for my elderberry syrup and then (usually) follow up with a cheesecloth.
Thank you, great idea!❤❤❤
Your homestead is beautiful and dreamy :) I just moved onto 20 acres a few months ago. I owned the property for 25 years and finally decided to build. I love the sunsets and feel so close to God here. I have barely started and the work is more than I imagined. Still loving it :)
That is awesome!
The comfrey growing around the trees is lovely. Love herbal information. Thx.
I am definitely making this recipe. Thank you for the free printable download and supply resources. You are doing a great job.

Your a beautiful mother enjoy your time with them they grow up fast🙂👣
love your recipes for herbal remedies. This is definitely one I need to make and have on hand. Could you do a video on making natural lotions for your skin? And how to restore lost collagen?
This is amazing! I have started to look into herbs for healing to put in my garden.
This video is just what I needed! I have actually recently become allergic to all forms of chemical antibiotic ointments. I have extremely sensitive skin and the only thing I have found recently that has worked is colloidal silver in pure aloe vera. I think this herb salve is just what I need. Really thankful to you for sharing your knowledge!
Absolutely love your informative videos. Never quit. ❤
Thank you so much, my dear sister for sharing,❤🎉
I just found you. I'm also in north idaho and I've been hunting for channels close to me that I can rely on for advice relevant to my area. I'm so glad I found you.
Welcome!
Thanks so much for sharing this!!! I just used some last night and I had the same thought about it knowing there had to be a better way. God provides and today he gave me you and your brilliance.
Much love from the Midwest US 💖
Thank you for sharing these videos and teaching us. Blessings
Fantastic herbal salve tutorial. Sending love and warm greetings from Missouri.
What wonderful comments. AND YOU Carolyn are a NATURAL at this! Great explaining, timing, delivery and just lovely to watch and listen to. Just a fyi: I use blue painters tape on the jar it's self to write ingredients. Directions.
I make a version of this for my business. People LOVE it. They use it on their face, burns, cracked hands... THANK YOU for telling me about bee balm. Mine is crazy huge and I dry it for tea but now will add it to the balm also.
really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing.The baby is so adorable.God bless.
Priceless info. God has put everything we need in our environment. Beautiful
Thanks for sharing your wonderful salve recipe! Baby looks like he’s really growing fast (precious 💗). Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
congrats on the new little one. love to see
big families. o had 16 pregnancies in 18 years. it was not easy and took a lot of work but i wouldn’t change it for the works! also a suburban homesteader , and herbalist of 40 years.
Thank you so much for making this easy to follow, informative video! It was so calming and for someone who wants to be more connected to nature, this is just what i needed for an antibiotic replacement
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I'm excited to see more of this type.
Comfrey is so good! I make and sell pain salve and that along with peppermint oil are the go to herbs. Helps so much with pain. I finally have my medicinal garden where I can now make the antibiotic ointment. I also use wild plantain as an itch/rash/bug bite remedy and works like a charm. I love herbs so much!
I’m loving these new herbal remedy videos. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
This is great just got comfrey going this year and a few others. Do you have a recipe for a peppermint foot cream? Would love to try for hot achy feet. Thanks for your great videos would love a mountain ish homestead! ❤
Well! I really enjoy watching your video. Your holding your baby meanwhile doing your gardening and also your place look so relaxing and peaceful. God bless you and all your family. Thanks for sharing your information with all of us. My first time watching this channel. 👍
Thank you for this. I've been wanting to get my feet wet in this topic and it's a great start. Especially with gardening season starting. I'm hoping to find more vidios like this on your site. Thanks!
Please look into adding the plantain herb (either broad leaf or narrow leaf) into your salve. Plantain has wonderful analgesic, anti-inflammatory, astringent, antimicrobial, properties as well as a wonderful drawing herb. Excellent for stings, bites, cuts, burns, etc. Don't get me started on the benefits if taken internally =D
Totally agree!! Love plantain plus heal-all. The husks of plantain is where Serutan came from. Definitely a must for mosquito bites and the swelling. Amazingly fast-acting. I just find a good leaf and chew into a poultice in emergencies. The salve is so nice.
Thank you, I just added some plantain leaves to my salve oil and am letting it go another month, so it'll be 2 months for the original 3 herbs in this recipe and a month for the plantain, to make a super-healing salve for me and my family! So grateful you brought this to my awareness!
@@eileenpatterson6937 It is my pleasure, it is an amazing herb that grows literally everywhere. Enjoy!
Oh, interesting, internally? I must look this up. Thankyou
For those allergic ro plantain are there alternatives? We have a glut of licorice root, some comfrey, elderberry, rosemary, calendula and catnip. Some oregano too.
Been making a bum balm with dried calenduela flowers, dried lavender flowers or EO oil depending on whats available, olive oil, bees wax, shea butter after warmed to melt, adding vitamin EI whip them up with a mixer. It takes a bit, but it whips up to a thick cream.
Have made it for last two babies of my six babies and thus far three grandbabies, zero problems of diaper rash, and use it also for chapped cheeks and lips from wind and sun exposure.
Great for hands, elbows, knees feet as well.
Would love your recipe 😊
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe along with the videos
Tea tree is extremely good for burns. Loving your chanel. Thank you so much. From South Africa
Great tips and advice in the comments but this is a very good video. Clear sequential info and beautiful presentation Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for the Farmhouse Teas website recommendation! I ordered essential oils and the couple of herbs that I don't already grow myself for this salve recipe, along with some kombucha flavoring (which my husband really likes), and I was so surprised when my order arrived - The box my order came in was thoughtfully designed, the items were placed carefully in the box, and it contained so many free samples! The box even smelled fabulous before it was even opened. The items themselves are top quality and look/smell so fresh. I was so impressed that I took time to leave a good review on their site, and then I received a "thank you for your review" card along with more samples in the mail a few days later. Top notch company!
Going to try and will surely mention this channel with my order! Thank you for sharing your experience!

I love this lifestyle, so much Oxygen around you, and you have such great knowledge about herbal and plant medicine. So glad I ran into your channel today. This is so exciting! Thank you so much!
Comfrey is the best thing I've found.
This looks like a good way to put it up for winter. I usually use it fresh. Just throw some in a blender with just enough water to make a paste. A little mint added gives a cooling effect and is great for burns.
As a pharmacist, this is very interesting to watch. It reminded me a lot of my compounding training. If anyone's wondering why you don't measure the plants going into the oil but do measure the oil, beeswax, and all the rest later, the reason is that not all plants are the same. Even different parts of the plant or crops from year to year may have very different concentrations of the organic components you're trying to extract into the oil. It doesn't do a whole lot of good to try and measure it unless you've got all of the equipment on the back end to monitor those concentrations through to the final product. This is homemade, not FDA regulated. But, you do want the control over the texture of the salve, so you need to ensure the right amount of your beeswax relative to the other oils you're adding, so that stuff must be weighed and measured. If you get too much oil and not enough beeswax, it'll be more liquidy than you want at room temperature. I'll reserve commentary on the effectiveness of this stuff. Too many components, not enough time to do it properly, and I'm not trying to shill for any one product, let alone any of the Pharma companies. They couldn't pay me enough to sell my integrity like that. However, Neosporin (or generic triple antibiotic) is great stuff. Use it when you need it (like healing a dirty wound after you clean it). It works very well, so don't be afraid of it, even if you prefer this type of salve for routine scrapes and minor stuff like that.
Shill lol. Neosporin should be taken off the shelf
I think effectiveness would depend on the person, the wound, etc. I make my own salve with different herbs than what she's using here but I believe the effectiveness of the oils and waxes would still be there sans herbs. Coconut oil, olive oil and beeswax have wonderful antiseptic, cleansing and healing properties. My salve worked on my daughter's poison ivy rash better in 12 hours overnight than 2 days of the steroid stuff her Dad got her from the doctor.
My personal experience has been my salve works better than the antibiotic ointment and has the added benefit of being good for my skin 😁
of course nature has less side effects, too! Love salves etc!!
I have neosporin from 2020 unopened. Will it still work?
@@LGAussieyes, it will because there's nothing organic in it. Only organic material will decompose. The types of medicines that lose their effectiveness, however, will be labeled as such because they'll oxidize over time. Meaning they are less effective over time when exposed to air, even if they're not opened. Few packaging methods are truly vacuum sealed.
Thank you for the instruction and recipe.
This is a great video and the comments are too. Thank you 🙏
