I trusted the Comfrey Poultice when I broke my foot. I could feel the tingling as the little bone knitters went to work. Thanks for the Vid

Thanks for saying so! I am suppressing the desire to talk plants and make videos as my daughter has very different plans for my days :) but they say the time flies so I am trying to stay present and just journal all of my herb nerd ideas 🤓🌿 take care ❤️

Great video and so easy to follow. I've been making and using comfrey products for a long time and wanted to make comfrey cream (I usually make salves). Wasn't sure whether I could use my usual comfrey infused oil as the tincture and this sounds much, much better. I have so many family members and friends who have benefited from comfrey when nothing else worked and cannot wait to try this. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and know that it is appreciated so very much.

Wow, I just found my FAVORITE CHANNEL EVER! Can I just say I love you, you had me at hello. I'm definitely growing some in containers from on. I say thank you to my plants as ai harvest them it was nice to see you talk to the plant as well, you don't usually see others do that. Is everclear good for the alcohol at full strength?

What ratio should you use with dried plant materials?

Hi, I tried to do it as you described but you never specified the recommended Vitamix speed. Mine resulted in the root bunching together and becoming a sticky ball, not mixing with the alcohol (97%) at all. It became essentially like a sticky, rubber, mass. Any reason for this? Any recommendations?
@HerbNerdSchool
@HerbNerdSchool 2 жыл бұрын
wow, ya the blender speed shouldn't be the issue. and you did the 1:2 ratio? Maybe you used dry comfrey root (?) in which case you would do a ratio of 1:5... maybe you'd be interested in the Intro to Handmade Herbal Remedies course opening next week on our site, check it out! www.herbnerd.com/intro-herbal-remedies-sales-page

Also, 95% may be too high…I know, it’s what I said in the video, sorry but comfrey mucilage is soluble in water, so try adding more water to dilute your solvent, hopefully this will break up the mass.

Curious if you educate or mention "energetics" in your online courses?

@HerbNerdSchool 3 жыл бұрын
It is a part of my herbal vernacular for sure, but none of my videos go into too much detail on the subject. I am, however, putting together a seasonal herbalism series where I’ll be covering energetics as a foundational principal of herbalism 👍🏽 I’ll be adding class sign up info to my Instagram and website very soon so stay tuned!

interesting about the vodka mixing background, but isn't one way to avoid that is to dry out the plant material first from the water and then mix it later ?
@HerbNerdSchool
@HerbNerdSchool 2 жыл бұрын
yes, that would be a dry plant tincture, and the ratio of herb to menstruum would be 1:5 btw, please check out our Intro to Handmade Herbal Remedies course opening next week on our site, check it out! www.herbnerd.com/intro-herbal-remedies-sales-page

Hello! I've tried the recipe. I used 110 g fresh root with 220 ml 95% ethanol. But instead of blending it, I grated the root. When i poured in the menstruum, the grated pieces of root stuck together in one big strong clump. Is that normal? :(
@HerbNerdSchool
@HerbNerdSchool 2 жыл бұрын
Do you get a lot of rain? My root may not have been as hydrated as yours. The mucilage in comfrey root can be intense, and grating it made that mucilage very available to the solvent. It may just be looking for water? Add some water and bled it up in a blender and see if that helps.

@@HerbNerdSchool Thanks for the quick answer. Yes, the roots were very wet. The problem is that I don't have a blender. If I shake the jar really hard, the clump starts do break down, but there are parts that stay above the surface ( I used a very big jar - above 1 litre). Is it wise to pour more ethanol to cover it, rather than water?
