Comfrey Ointment: A Herbal Remedy

This homemade comfrey ointment is a great natural, herbal salve to have in your wellness toolkit. Comfrey is known for its healing properties and can be a lifesaver for cuts, bruises, and even sore muscles. Let’s get into the ingredients and instructions to make your own batch!

Ingredients

1 cup of dried comfrey leaves
2 cups of olive oil or coconut oil
Beeswax (about 1 oz, but you can adjust based on how thick you want the ointment)
Essential oils (optional, for fragrance or added benefits, such as lavender or tea tree)

Instructions

Infuse the Oil: Start by placing your dried comfrey leaves in a jar and pour the olive or coconut oil over them. Make sure the leaves are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.
Heat Up: Find a warm spot in your kitchen to place that jar for about 4 to 6 weeks. The longer you let it sit, the more potent your oil will be. Alternatively, you can heat the mixture gently in a double boiler for a few hours for a quicker infusion.
Strain It Out: After your oil is ready, strain it through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Squeeze out all that goodness from the comfrey leaves!
Make the Ointment: Now, take your infused oil and measure out about 1 cup to pour into a saucepan. Add the beeswax and heat it slowly until it melts completely. Stir well to combine.
Add Essential Oils: If you want to add some essential oils for their benefits or just for a lovely scent, now’s the time. Stir them in and mix well.
Pour & Cool: Pour the mixture into clean jars or tins and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in a cool, dark place, and you’re ready to go!

And there you have it! Your very own comfrey ointment is ready to use. This salve is not only easy to make, but it’s also packed with natural goodness that your skin will love. Keep it handy for when you need that extra relief. Enjoy and stay healthy!
