Comfrey Salve Recipe

Comfrey Salve

For this recipe I started with about 1 1/2 cups of infused comfrey oil that I made in a 1-quart crockpot (see DTube video link below)

• 1 1/2 cups of infused comfrey oil
• 2-4 ounces of beeswax (I started with 2-ounces and ended up adding a total of 4-ounces. More beeswax makes the salve harder, so if you want a creamier salve only use 2-ounces of beeswax.

Cut about 6-10 comfrey leaves on a dry day- you want the leaves as dry as possible.
Clean the leaves to remove debris and insects. Cut leaves into small pieces or put through a food processor.
Dehydrate leaves until they are completely dried out and crumble in your hands.
Add to crockpot and cover completely with olive oil; or another carrier oil of your choosing.
Turn crockpot on low, keeping the temperature of the oil between 85-95 degrees at all times. DO NOT let the oil boil.
The oil will need to cook anywhere from 6-10 hours.
Once the oil has turned a bright or dark green, it is done.
Strain the oil through cheesecloth.
Clean out crockpot to remove any excess comfrey leaves. DO NOT use water. Keep the crockpot dry.
Add the strained oil to the crockpot again.
Add in the beeswax; which will melt immediately.
Pour into prepared and cleaned jars or containers.

This recipe made two half pint and two jelly jar size mason jars; which is plenty for my homestead. Store in a dark and cool cupboard.
