Making Comfrey Root Balm - Part 1

[@MrNudgit45]

Fantastic vid.. Thank you so much.. really good info but background music is a bit distracting.. The mix is uneven Better without it I reckon... Don't need it... Does more harm to your message than good.. (I'm a sound engineer in music production) .. Thanks for the tips and I've used your ultimate herbal cleanse every year for bout past 5.. great stuff!!!

I agree about the background music being a distraction.

[@nickg9070]

I agree with everything said. I use comfrey for more than 35 years. Only I grind the dry roots to the finest powder and keep it in a tight closed container in my work bag. Any cuts or bruises - I take a pinch of comfrey powder, add a few drops of water ind mix it intensively, than apply the slippery mass on a wound and cover it with a plastic film to prevent fast drying. It saved me many times. Before applying comfrey I clean a wound with alcohol.

Brett Elliott Thanks for the extra tips, I must try that

[@pointblank1978]

I’ll definitely add it to my first aid kits. Thank you for the tip🙏🏽

[@chantalrobichaud4587]

Could I use a dehydrator! Thank you so much for the info

[@margathea7072]

Yes

[@pointblank1978]

I’ve added comfrey and castor oil together in a dropper. They don’t mix well so I fill the dropper 50/50. Overnight my knee swelling went away and has not come back. 😮Needless to say I’m a believer.

Great video, could do without the music though, very distracting 😊

[@nigelwinslow]

The too loud background music makes your video very difficult to watch.

[@wormwood6424]

Yes. My kids sprains strains and my torn stomach muscles were healed with comfrey root. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Xx

[@wormwood6424]

@ok joy you crush the root up and pack it onto the wounded area. I used to leave it on over night.

[@wormwood6424]

@ok joy is the wound open?

[@wormwood6424]

@ok joy oh right. Just make sure the inside is not infected. If it's ok you will feel after few days it getting better. But if there is infection it needs to be cleared up before putting comfrey on.

Can't understand what you are saying because of the background music.

[@remnantfewministriesminist495]

This is wonderful. I may have access to a plant. I was able to harvest leaves from their farm. They asked me to take it all! Would it be worth it to ask for a piece of the root for injured vertebrae, hip issues and a person that had a broken bone?

[@BrettElliottHerbalist]

Yes It could help with all of those. If you get some of the root, you can plant it and it will grow from a cutting, so you have an ongoing supply.

[@remnantfewministriesminist495]

@@BrettElliottHerbalist Thank you so much for your help! I will try to get a piece of the root.

[@elisabethmorrison6045]

Great video..but don't don't chop and look at the camera ..or you will need lots of comfrey ha ha

[@Pelican2701]

Hi, thanks for the video, what is the 'hot water cupboard' you use to dry the roots?

[@BrettElliottHerbalist]

It the cupboard in the hall where your hot water cylinder is, some people call it the drying cupboard

[@DSmith-ix1xf]

Or the airing cupboard, or the boiler cupboard or the bathroom cupboard, you get the picture. Some where warmish and ventilated. Seed propagators work as well.

[@DSmith-ix1xf]

I've read that the difference between using the leaf and the root is, that the alantoin strength of the root crosses the line of safety much more quickly than that of the leaf. Book: 'Comfrey - Past, Present and Future' by Lawrence D. Hills

[@claywelch2872]

Will it cure spinal stenosis?

[@moniquekendel5782]

I harvested a load of leaves and thought i could use that. Now what do I do with the leaves?

[@lizm1840]

Comfrey leaves work really well too. Dry them and infuse in warm oil. I use olive oil. Add beeswax to make a salve

[@Wendyann1100]

Hi. Great video. Can you use comfrey root that it harvested in th fall instead of spring?

[@BrettElliottHerbalist]

Yes you can!

[@PaintAllThat]

The music is distracting and makes it difficult to hear you. It is better without.

[@BrettElliottHerbalist]

Thanks for the feedback - will bear it in mind next time
