Making Comfrey Salve for Pain Relief 🌱 Easy and Beneficial

Making pain relieving salve from the Comfrey plant. It has been used for thousands of years just for the beneficial medicinal properties.
I am not a Doctor or make any medical claims. I do use this in my household for relief from minor arthritis/joint pain and sprains.
Beeswax I use is available on Amazon by clicking here:

I am growing Comfrey. I am planning to make a salve. I have arthritis in my shoulders and is very painful. I used a Comfrey leaf on my big toe when I dropped a cement steppingstone on it. Was excruciating when I did it. After I wrapped the leaf around my toe and left it there for a coupe hours, the pain was almost gone. Amazing plant, what a gift from God!

[@CHwT]

Absolutely, I could not agree with you more. I just cannot say enough about Comfrey and how great it seems to be. I think until someone actually tries it; they cannot fully understand the healing power it has. Thank you so much for your comment. I am so happy it works for you. God Bless ❤

I’ve tested lemongrass essential oil in topicals and they aid in pain as well.

[@curtischadd]

Is there a specific comfrey I need to plant?

[@hoosierpreppingnurse]

I’ve made salves for years. I never had an issue with cleaning up with using bees wax. Heat up the pan, use a paper towel to wipe out and then wash with soap and water. I use the paper towels for fire starters. Rule of thumb is one ounce of bees wax to 8 oz oil. When heating oils try to keep temp 115F or lower. High can destroy the benefits of the olive oil or any oil). And it is loaded with benefits. Adjust amounts to your liking. I have bought a with Achilles tendinitis, bursitis and plantar fasciitis. All in one ankle/foot. This works wonderfully.

[@CHwT]

Thank You! Sounds like a great and easy way for cleanup. ❤

[@michellelaclair]

I am just fascinated with this comfrey jazz so I bought everything to make salve too- must be the nurse in us! LOL. do I need to get a digital scale?

[@unnamed2737]

I’ve had plantar fasciitis for over 18 months and I’ve been wondering if I could use comfrey to heal it. I walk with a limp and haven’t even able to wear normal shoes in so long.

[@hoosierpreppingnurse]

@@unnamed2737 mine has gotten so much better. I didn’t put as much bees wax in it the last time I made it. It was just the comfrey infused olive oil and enough bees wax to make it thick liquid. I massage it into the back of my ankle and heel/arch area. Then I prop it up and let it soak in and the tendons/muscles relax from the massage. You can also try rolling a frozen water bottle, a tennis or a golf ball - last two not frozen. Calf pumps is also great. I have also used the over the counter Lidocaine lotions at the beginning of the flair up. This last time with the Achilles tendinitis, bursitis and plantar fasciitis flaring up at the same time the exercises were extremely painful. I started out doing 10 and worked up to 30 at a time. That has taken 6 weeks. I still have some pain but it is slowing receding. Mine started last summer. Would get better then worse then better. Have you had your foot xrayed to make sure there’s no breaks? My heart goes out to you. 18 months is a very long time.

I made some comfrey salve and ground my dehydrated comfrey into a powder and used it that way. Keeping the powder IN the salve. Although I didn't infuse it for the 4+ weeks. I'm thinking I should have now. I did use vitamin E though! I like your method of using it in "leaf" form dried and having a more "cleaner" looking finished product by straining it out. I will try this method next! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@amanda69]

Hello, thanks for the video. I put my comfrey through the blinder when it was dry and i also wanted to use some plantain leave in it too and i also ran those dry leaves through the blender so what I was wondering how much do I use of each of the leaf powders? Thank you for your time

[@CHwT]

I am not sure what the amount would be. I have never used just powdered comfrey to start an infused oil. But I think to use it, it would be best to do the heated method, which is adding the powdered comfrey to oil and heat it at the lowest temperature for 24 hours. I would experiment with the amount of powder. When I made the Rosemary Comfrey, my oil was already infused and I added 1 Teaspoon of powdered comfrey to it, just as a guide. But I think experiment is the key and it depends on how much you are making as well. Good Luck!

[@kellybrown9283]

Thank you so much for your video on making the salve. I have a question. I do not have a dehydrator however, I do have a freeze dryer. Will that be too harsh on the comfrey leaves?

[@CHwT]

You can by all means freeze dry comfrey and it will actually be better than dehydrating! You can just hang the leaves up as well for a week or so if you wanted. But yes, freeze drying is fine with comfrey and is not too harsh for the plant. I do wish I had a freeze dryer....it is my long term goal! 😀 God Bless ❤

[@CHwT]

The comfrey, to me, is like a medicinal type smell. But it is not unpleasant. I do not mind it at all. When you are warming the oil in the pot, you will smell the scent of the comfrey. If you do not prefer the smell, just have some essential oils on hand and add about 30-40 drops of whatever scent you prefer. It depends on individual preference. As for what Comfrey is used for, it is for muscle aches, soreness, joint pain, arthritis...things of that nature. God Bless ❤

You can use a combination of them, or straight. There are some people who have used Castor Oil and said it worked great. So I guess the choice is really up to you. I do not see where it would hurt.

Thank u very much..if I don't have a drier to dry the comfrey leaves what other method can I use to dry out leaves?

You can hang comfrey leaves in bunches upside down and let them air dry. It will not take long for them to dry...about 7-14 days depending on the size of the leaves. You can also dry them in the oven at the lowest temperature (130-140 degrees) for a few hours (5-8 hours). God Bless ❤

The process is the same whether you are using dried comfrey leaves or roots. Cut the roots up and put them in a jar and cover them with the carrier oil. (Yes, you can use coconut oil instead of the olive oil). Leave them sit for at least 4 weeks (longer is better). Then strain and make the salve from the oil. God Bless ❤

[@Mister.Doodler]

@@CHwT thankyou. The roots I have are Approx 1 to 2” in size. Do I need to moist them with water and cut them further or directly infuse them in coconut oil as it is ?

[@CHwT]

@@Mister.Doodler You will have to dry the roots first. To do that: Wash the roots well and chop them into smaller pieces. Lay them on your dehydrator trays and give them ample space for proper airflow. Dehydrate them at 130-140 degrees F for 5-8 hours. Alternatively, you can string them up on thread like bunting and let them dry naturally. The roots should be dry and crumbly before you use them to make comfrey oil. Once they are dry, add them to the jar and fill with your coconut oil. ❤

Hi Tess, I made a mistake and didn’t test my salve before I put it in my jars. Now after a few days, the salve is soft and hasn’t got enough beeswax as I used a block which I grated. Can I melt it again and add more beeswax? 🙏

[@CHwT]

I have never tried doing that, but I think it should be ok. I would try melting just a little and see how it turns out in the end. If it does, by all means, melt the rest and jar it up. Also, if you keep the salve in the refrigerator, it will stay harder. I do that and just take it out a few minutes before I use it. If you leave it out after refrigeration, you would see water drops on the top, but it does not harm the product any. Good Luck.

@@CHwT Hello from Melbourne, Australia. It is recommended now to only use comfrey salve /ointment for no longer than 4-6 weeks per year due to the Pyrrolizidine alkaloids(PA). Daily applied dosage should not exceed 100mcg of Pyrrolizidine alkaloids. 5 comfrey leaves contain about 5mg of PA. PA is higher in roots than leaves. PA is genotoxic and tumorigenic just so you know! Can damage the liver. There are cases of individuals dying (of those that took excess and more likely ingested it). Thanks for the video!

2.5 cups oil to 1/4 cup beez wax>right?

[@CHwT]

Yes, but you can add more or less beeswax depending on how soft or hard you want the salve to be.

[@CHwT]

I do not think you can buy the plant grown, but you can purchase the seeds. This is where I got mine from: www.amazon.com/Outsidepride-Comfrey-Herb-Seeds-seeds/dp/B00BQ03UW8/ref=asc_df_B00BQ03UW8&mcid=966c8ffe278a3487ba1f8675331585b3?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80882879268484&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584482457639277&th=1 Hope this helps ❤

I bought some comfrey and it doesn’t look like leaf.. can I make this salve with what is probably the root?

[@CHwT]

Yes. Comfrey root can be used to make salve. It is very beneficial.

[@kindragregory9920]

Do you sell your Comfrey root? I would love to have some Comfrey plants 🌱 on my property.

[@CHwT]

Not at this time. I am working with someone to sell Merch. But right now, we are nowhere near ready yet. Hopefully soon. God Bless❤

[@norikotakei9417]

I started mine from seeds. Much cheaper than buying roots.

[@sylviajohnson373]

Where is the most cost effective place to purchase Comfrey from please and thank? Do you sell any of your personal herbs?

[@CHwT]

When I first got my comfrey, I ordered the seeds from earthcareseeds.com They had the best price and believe they still do. You can order packets of 25 or 50 seeds. As for selling any of my herbs, I have been highly thinking about making comfrey and calendula salves and selling them, as well as ground comfrey. I have not started a store process yet, but may be doing so in the future.

[@sylviajohnson373]

@@CHwT would you be willing to sell me some just enough to make a quart of calendars and comfrey. I am willing to pay .

[@CHwT]

@@sylviajohnson373 I do not have calendula right now. It has not started growing yet for the year. Comfrey has just started to grow. I do have some comfrey from last year's crop. I am not sure how much you would need for 1 quart. You can email me at [e-mail] and let me know how much comfrey you are looking for and I will see if I have enough. I could make promises though. 🙂

Can I use coconut oil

[@CHwT]

Yes you can! Coconut oil will work just as well.

[@harleylr99]

Where can i get comfrey if i don't have any planets

[@CHwT]

Comfrey is not sold as a plant, (at least I have never seen any), but by seeds. The best place is to check on Amazon for them. Many people sell them on there. Once you have just one plant from them...you will have many. They multiply every year.

[@lorriekaufman7243]

We're can I buy some comfy plamts

[@CHwT]

You can go on Amazon and search comfrey and you can purchase seeds. To my knowledge, you cannot buy them as a plant....at least, I have never seen them. I purchased the seeds and grew the plants.

[@norikotakei9417]

I've read every comment here so as not to repeat the same question. My question is, can I use fresh comfrey leaves rather than dried leave. What is the purpose of drying them.

[@CHwT]

It is not recommended to use the leaves fresh as they can mold in the oil when infusing and stagnate the oil. If you do not want to wait for the leaves to dry on their own, you can cut them and lay the fresh leaves out into the sun for a few hours (hotter day the better) until they wilt very well. Then cut and use them. But drying is really the best way to go and if you hang bunches, they will not take long to dry on their own. Hope this helps. God Bless ❤

[@CHwT]

Yes, you sure can. Olive, Coconut or Sweet Almond are the recommended oils to use. ❤

@@CHwT thank you for confirming. Would it be fractionated coconut oil or regular coconut oil that is solid at room temperature?

Why should you not reuse the tin container and stir spoon?

[@CHwT]

I choose to use the tin container and spoon for salve making only. You can reuse it for anything you like, I just prefer to keep them for salve so there is no cross contamination of anything if I were to use them for food or something afterwards. I try to keep the salve as pure as possible. God Bless❤

May I use castor oil? Thank you. 😊

I would not suggest using Castor oil. The only oils that are recommended are: Olive oil, Jojoba oil, Sweet Almond oil or Coconut oil. You can use a combination of them, or straight.

[@norikotakei9417]

@CHwT I was sure you'd say OK to it, so thank you for stopping me from making the mistake. Wonder why not, though. It's Edgar Casey's favorite oil. Do you know why not ?

Do I have to let it sit for 3 weeks or I can just use the green leaves and infuse same time with the oil

[@CHwT]

You have to let the leaves sit in the oil for a minimum of 3-4 weeks before making the salve. This is to get the full infusion of the comfrey. The longer it sits, the better the oil will infuse. You can also add powdered comfrey after infusion for added comfrey strength if desired. God Bless ❤

[@inspiration476]

@@CHwT Thanks you for this info.bless u too.

[@glendalynnejanacek7558]

I learned from a different video that when you're infusing your Come free with oil ,that there should be no air space, In other words you should have filled the oil right to the top of the jar. Hummm, dose it really matter ?

[@CHwT]

I would not think that would matter. I only make the comfrey salve in small batches and the oil infuses without any problem. If I were doing a larger batch, I would use more oil then.But I really think it is just up to the individual. God Bless ❤

OK, if you leave air space in your jar, that will Cause oxidation.

I have heard of that, as well as it could cause spoilage, but again, I have never had any problem when using the dried comfrey for oil infusion.

[@glendalynnejanacek7558]

OK, sounds good. Thank you so much for your reply 😊

[@ely42609]

​@@glendalynnejanacek7558By making the infusion with cold pressed unrefined coconut oil,and using dark jars/tins like in this recipe,will guarantee you a very long shelf life.Coconut oil pretty much never goes bad.I did my research. Also,try using small jars.Because I have 3 young kids that are highly energetic and in sports,I make the 8 oz jars,and one small 1.5 oz that i keep in my bag at all times.

[@nancyskinner5207]

Why must you not use your utensils for food? You are using nothing that is toxic. I just try to use my common sense when deciding what needs to be kept out of my kitchen.

[@CHwT]

It is just preference. Everything I guess is technically food safe and non-toxic, But I use the same utensils for all my salve and tincture making. Just prefer to keep it apart from the ones I use for food. But yes, it is just personal preference. God Bless ❤

[@KingOfKings888]

If you use the ROOTS instead of the LEAVES or a MIX of BOTH, will that also have the same healing properties as using the LEAVES alone???

[@CHwT]

Both the leaves and the root have medicinal properties, but I have heard that if you use just the root, it is believed to be better due to a higher concentration of potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon. I have never tried this with the root, but I think it is up to the individual if they want to incorporate the root into the salve. It would not hurt for sure and it may make better for healing and pain relief. I can not say for sure, but it is worth a try. God Bless ❤

I have a friend that Had a bike accident, and both his ankles got Broken Sooooo Bad that the Doctors, that operated on his ankles, to put them back together, had a really hard time to set the ankles. He just went for a follow up x-rays to see how the brak is comming along. Anyway, The Dr told my friend that they are healing veary slow and he is not happy about it. Dr told my friend he is not out of the woods yet. In other words, this brake is so bad he might have to Amphitheat his feet. I am making Come free save But it has only been sitting for two weeks. I dryed the Come free and then Ground it Write down to a powder. I put half a jar of complete powder And then the rest filled with olive oil. It has been sitting 2 weeks now And it is a very dark green. Do you think i could make the Sav now, ??? . Will it ne strong enough to do some good . I have never made this before, im thinking that being that i made the comfrey in to a power it would Cure faster. What do you think? Im so Anxious for him to get this stuff.

[@CHwT]

I am not really sure what to say other than you could try making it from what you already have sitting. I have never used powder to infuse the oil, so I am not sure if it would be stronger or take less time or anything. I could only suggest you go ahead and make it, but also maybe have more sitting for the entire length of time for maybe another batch later on. You can also take comfrey powder and make a paste from it that I heard works as well, but again, I have never done this. I am sorry I can not really give you a guaranteed answer to your question, It sure would not hurt to go ahead and use the 2 week oil as it will do some good I would think. Comfrey is not a miracle cure for sure, but I would think it could help your friend and certainly worth a try. Good luck and I pray your friends bones heal fast and proper and to the satisfaction of the doctor. God Bless and prayers....❤

[@glendalynnejanacek7558]

@CHwT ok, that sounds like good advice . And I do have a second Jar soaking . And the paste I for gotten about that, good idea. Thankyou .
