I bought comfrey roots from Billy & Michele at Perma Pastures Farm. The roots took a couple months to get growing but once the start, they grow very well and come back every year even in our zone 4a-4b.
For pain I soak equal parts of dried comfrey, arnica flowers, and peppermint leaves in avocado oil for 3 months… after the 3 months I strain and make salve with beeswax and shea butter… works wonders!!! Thank you for sharing!! Much love from Canada NB

It needs a carrier. That would be the beeswax. I’m sure it would be fine but it would always have that oil consistency. The beeswax will last a long time, it’s worth the investment.
@@Mygardendiary I wasn’t referring to eliminating the beeswax .. I was thinking of using a little less olive oil and replacing it with castor oil to make a mixture
Billy at Parma Pastures Farm and his family has helped me so much in learning about comfrey

That Comfrey is like magic never thought it would actually do anything. I 100 % approve ❤
Thank you!
@@antoniooilivieri better than over the counter topicals for sure.

Do you mean Homegrown Herbalist? If so, he is wonderful at educating about herbs and their uses.
I’m still learning after 53 years
Awesome 👏
Thanks 👍🏾 ❤
You are so welcome
I made a salve with cannibis, comphrey, and stinging nettle. Did not use essential oils though like to keep it natural
Luv this. Growing now in garden. Would luv to buy one from you.,
Thank you 💙
Any time
I got mine from Perna Pasture Farms. He is set up to sell it. He also has a great channel.
Is it better to use the smaller younger leaves than the large ones?
How does the good stuff get extracted out of the comfrey powder?
It works really well as a topical. The bees wax and olive oil are the carriers.
Can the comfrey be infused with a mixture of olive oil and castor oil
It needs a carrier. That would be the beeswax. I’m sure it would be fine but it would always have that oil consistency. The beeswax will last a long time, it’s worth the investment.
