Unveiling the Wonders of Comfrey Salve

A Nurturing Touch for Aching Joints:

• Comfrey Salve is renowned for its ability to provide relief from inflammation and pain, making it a valuable ally for those dealing with conditions like arthritis. With its natural ingredients and therapeutic properties, this salve offers a gentle yet effective solution for soothing discomfort and promoting healing.

The Recipe Unveiled:

Ingredients You'll Need:

• - 1 cup crushed dried Comfrey leaves

• - 2 cups (or more) Olive, Almond, or Coconut oil

• - 2 oz (about 1/2 cup) Beeswax Pellets

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Infusing the Oil: Begin by adding 1 cup of crushed dried Comfrey leaves to a quart jar. Cover the leaves with organic Olive oil, Coconut oil, or Sweet Almond oil. For a unique blend of flavors, consider using a combination of oils. Ensure all leaves are fully immersed in the oil and stir well to coat them evenly.

2. Oil Infusion Process: Seal the jar and choose your infusion method. You can opt to let the mixture sit in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks for a traditional infusion, or expedite the process by simmering the jar in a water bath for 5-24 hours on low heat. Strain the oil through a fine sieve once the infusion is complete.

3. Melting the Beeswax: Shortly before straining the oil, melt 1/2 cup (2 oz) of Beeswax in a separate container. Organic Beeswax pellets are a convenient choice for this step. 

4. Combining Ingredients: Mix the warm, infused Comfrey oil with the melted Beeswax, stirring thoroughly until a homogeneous cream is formed. Be cautious of temperature differences to avoid premature solidification.

5. Pouring and Setting: Transfer the blended salve into small jars, ensuring easy access for application. Allow the Comfrey Salve to cool and set undisturbed, ideally in wide-mouth jars for convenience.

6. Final Touches: Once the salve has solidified, it is ready to use. Apply a small amount to areas of discomfort and massage gently for relief from aches and pains.
