I fell and broke my pelvis in 2 places and my back at 62yrs old. My leg and foot were quite swollen when the comfrey oil I had ordered arrived. I put it on and within hours the swelling went down and I healed in record time for my age.
Marlene Campbell Thank you for sharing your story. I have D8 spine fracture & am hoping to heal. Just ordered 30kg comfrey dried leaves & 30kg comfrey dried roots!
My cattledog got bit in the upper part of her front right leg by a large aggressive dog yesterday while on the trail. Two punctures and obvious swelling associated with soft tissue damage. Several hours after the incident she would not place any weight on it and would just lay down. She was in obvious painful distress. After 3 applications of this using same process but with fresh green bockng 14 comfrey leaves from our garden she is now walking normally and wants to play in the yard. I did not put the compress over the punctures but below them all the way down to her pads. I used a very thick terry washcloth that held a lot of the tea and I left it on for at least 30 minutes because her fur is quite thick and I wanted ro make sure it had a chance ro wet and absorb into her skin. Both my partner and I are amazed. Thanks so much!
I got hit by a car, while on my walk, my bone was poking out of my skin. I got comfrey on it as soon as they took off the cast (only two weeks later) they did put a rod down my bone. but on my first recheck he could see the bone healing. My ribs they said would hurt the longest and I got comfrey on them the first day home from the hospital ( and they don't hurt at all). after only 2 months I am walking, not long walks yet.
My husband broke his foot and ankle last week and I purchased the comfrey for this thing! Thank you for posting! 3 days later: update: my husband is reporting zero pain!
We can tell you first hand that it works. My daughter broke her toe and we did this. Even her doctor when she went back to get it checked was amazed at how quickly she healed. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
The Amish in Wisconsin eat one medium sized leaf per day for the health benefits. They put peanut butter on them. (I have heard since that consuming too much comfrey can cause liver damage, but one leaf per day shouldn't hurt...however, I am not a Dr. so try this at your own risk but my family and I did it for years)
Big Pharma is the cause of people thinking you cannot eat comphrey. They will go to any lengths to stop you using natural cures. See Lawrence Hills books on comphrey if you want to get past Pharma doctored sources and find out how useful comphrey actually is. Do your own deep research on it.
Don't listen to the fear around internal consumption! There's only been one "clinical study" done on 6 week old rats and they were fed comfrey extract (not the plant itself, but an extremely concentrated form of it) to make up 40% of their diet. Of course they got sick! That is like feeding a 250kg man 30 years worth in one go... ridiculous. The case studies are equally as absurd. It's because big ph4rm4 can't make $$ off it, so these ev!l giants ban it instead. Very typical behaviour for them
I had first hand experience using this wonderful herb. I was pregnant and broke the tip of my little pinkie ...dr told me it will take about 8weeks for it to heal up and l should keep it still and wrapped up..well l went to a dear friend's house got myself some comfrey and wrapped my little pinkie every night before going to bed with the finely chopped comfrey..within 2 weeks time no pain and my finger totally healed up..many years later l used comfrey on my son's broken jaw which he sustained in an accident.Drs were totally shocked after his 2 weeks visit that his lower jaw where his injury were was much stronger and totally healed
Last year I stepped on a burrowing bee (I don't wear shoes unless I have to.). It was so painful and swelled up. I grabbed 2 leaves of my comfrey and chewed on one as I hobbled to the house. I put the mash on the bee sting, covered it with the other and a bandana to hold it in place. Just a half hour later, the pain was gone and much of the swelling too! I kept it on but it came off sometime through the night. I Love my comfrey!
@@DaughterOfChrist333 I chewed on it to mascerate it. This is what many of the old timers did. I can't speak to the mouthwash but my logic says it may be helpful if you have an abscessed tooth or possibly sore throat or tonsillitis. That's just my opinion. I'm of the same opinion as Heidi about 'what some say'.😏
Mandy {this lovely path} Can I ask what you are using? ? My son torn his ACL and had surgery on it and his ankle keep swelling, he's back to work, but I 'd like to give him something that would help it, continue to heal..
Thank you, so nice for you to say you hope we never have to use this. Unfortunately, I fell, age 64, in my home and broke my wrist. The surgeon put a plate in since I broke it in 3 places. Two months out now, I'm going to get the comfrey. I used it when I was younger for Asthma, but I never knew it was good for bone healing as well. Thanks again! Blessings to you and yours. ❤
We grew it and used it for scrapes, sometimes really bad ones. My mom would pick it fresh, have us chew it then apply it directly to the abrasion, then bandage over it. She also kept dried comfry, but I don't remember why.
Thank you for this, my son broke his tibia 7 weeks ago. The healing has been slow so I am trying this to hopefully see a bigger improvement at the next follow up 😊
@@spoolsandbobbins by the next visit, after 2 weeks of applying the tea twice daily there was some union, it's still a bit slower healing than I think is usual but as long as it's going in the right direction, he is now walking without crutches just a bit of a limp 😊
@@jacobspranger1267 I would suggest using plantain first. It will draw out infection. I used it to heal poison sumac. It's great for bee stings. It takes the stinging pain out immediately.
I sure could have used this a couple weeks ago. Had a nasty fall and did the worst possible thing by putting my hands out to catch myself. Since I am very obese that meant a lot more weight coming down on it. Even though there was a lot of pain I initially didn't think it was broken. By the time my DIL (nurse practitioner) saw it she had absolutely no doubt it was broken in multiple places and after cleaning up some wounds they tried to stabilize it which made me realize the location of the first break. Anyway to make a long story short I am trying to get my home ready to sell and this has definitely put some limitations on me and I am a slow healer. Once I get into the new home I am definitely going to have to start growing this for the future. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing & showing how you do the comfrey compress! I’ve made comfrey oil by infusing it a long time in a closed jar. My daughter used the oil when she broke her ankle bone. It healed perfectly.
I was so excited to see this! I received and planted 21 comfrey root cuttings and they ALL sprouted. I just planted 15 plants along one border and as soon as the remaining 6 plants get a little larger they will go along the other border. Cannot wait to have enough to dry, feed chickens and chop and drop mulch.
Wow! What a treasure you have! I have a small area for comfrey-perhaps 2 1/2 feet square, and I harvest a lot. Right now (9/16/2021) I am pulling large leaves, drying them in my bedroom on a tarp, and crushing the dry leaves by hand. I then ‘poach’ them in avocado oil. Ace hardware ordered me a thin enameled double boiler, about $20. I fill the top pot about 3/4 full of dry comfrey leaves- crumbled by hand-and then add a 24-ounce bottle (3 cups) of avocado oil. I add water to the bottom pot, bring it to a boil, and then turn down the heat so the base pot just barely simmers. I place the the upper pot of comfrey and oil over the barely simmering water. Do not allow the water in the base pot to come in contact with the upper pot. After several hours, my candy thermometer registers 200 degrees Fahrenheit-for a respectable amount of comfrey oil.
@@gemcool16 The FDA, CDC and Australia’s TGA ban anything that works. Big Pharma funds studies to denigrate any herb that works. It is very safe to eat and use. Pharma wants to ensure you distrust any herbal remedies..they have done a good job judging by what rubbish people repeat about liver cancer. See early books out of print now by Lawrence Hills. They are scrubbing old info and getting ‘scientific studies’ done that disprove what centuries of experience has shown works.
Hello Carolyn, Patrick the nurse here! Great demonstration! Compress vs Poultice? My mother in law was an herbologist. We learned a lot from her with herbs...I have been pretty steeped in the traditional ER medicine. Great to see you. Great job!
Knowing people today don’t like to consume comfrey, I managed to find seeds for common comfrey, the one that’s supposed to be safer for consumption. And knowing what it does for skin and bones, I really wonder if consumption would heal my intestinal damage.
In addition to exploring that, maybe have a look at slippery elm and cayenne pepper. Barbara O'Neill has videos on them and their healing properties, including leaky gut and more!
Why not just add enough water to reconstitute the herbs and then put them into a poultice? Seems like you might be losing a lot of herb's power this way. But if you have any spare space at all having fresh comfrey around 3/4 of the year should be easy enough and then all you have to do is smash the leaves up and apply them right to the injury.
I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine it would take a lot of herb to make 3 poultices a day. Using water carries it and I don't think the constituents are less powerful in this medium. We don't drain the water, so some herb bits do get on the skin, and after getting a few soaked towels out of the tea, I use the rest of the soaked herb itself directly on the skin in the last application before making the next batch of tea. :)
Really wish I had found your videos earlier! My Mom broke her leg in three places last year with no Bob growth or healing and just had another surgery you place a bone graft on February 1st! I will be making this for her so [even though it's late] maybe it'll help the bone graft and her bones to begin healing! Thank You for this!
Salves rubbed on the skin CANNOT affect the bone deep below, whether they are made from comfrey, snake oil or fairy dust! Skin is waterproof for a reason! So we don't absorb everything we touch in our environment. Bones will heal themselves when the diet is correct. For bones, this means abundant natural foods, rich in essential fatty acids, saturated fats, fat-soluble vitamins A, D & E, and more calcium than phosphorus. Carolyn's family already eats a wonderful diet including all these things, which would be why a frasctured boner would heal quickly. Children's bones heal much faster than older peoples'. Most older people already have osteopaenia, which is a tendency to reduced calcium content in the bones. Next step after that is osteoporosis, qwhich is when there is very little calcium left in the bones. Then, they are very susceptible to breaking, and very difficult to heal. The very best way to stimulate bone healing is to eat lots of these foods every day : Whole milk, cream, butter (NOT margarine), cheese, salmon, sardines, cod liver oil, green leafy vegetables, bone broth, and take calcium gluconate supplements. Also required is a high intake of Vitamin C, from natural sources such as citrus, black currants, raw green vegetables, red peppers, and other fruits. What to stop eating : Anything high in Phosphorus. That includes bread, cakes, rice, barley, biscuits, cookies, cereal, pasta, anything grain or flour based. Coffee. Soft drinks. These both dissolve and excrete calcium from the body.
@@rubygray7749 ACTUALLY there are a lot of very toxic things that can be absorbed through the skin which is why you wear gloves.... so please don't tell people their skin is some how resistant to anything. i get it that you're an anti-grain revolutionary, i was too once. but you need to realize that bread isn't the killer.... being a fat lard pig who over eats and doesn't move is the problem. civilizations advanced because of their ability to grow, harvest and store grains. it allowed them to settle down and thrive. but they also had livestock...which also ate the grain in winter..... you use fewer resources when you're not a nomad chasing roving herds of bovids across continents. the american indians hadn't quite caught on to that though they were starting, and they paid dearly for it later. People today are going backwards in progress for several reasons and they too will pay dearly. The difference between now and back then is people don't do a whole lot of anything to earn their food. they sit at a computer all day long, drive home and order fast food. which is consumed in front of their tv sets. the heart attacks, cancer, diabetes, obesity, allergies and weak immune systems are supposedly progress lol You have to balance everything. we're omnivores. I personally don't eat bread very often because i like it a little TOO much..... i can eat a whole box of donuts in one sitting. No i am not 1200 lbs... i am actually very lean and active. but it just seemed like a bad idea to eat a whole flippin box of donuts. now i limit them and other items to maybe twice a year and try to only eat what i grow on my farm....
Ignore Ruby’s comment about snake oil. What rubs on your skin enters your body. Many things are absorbed thru the skin, or will Ruby suggest nicotine patches are useless? If you soak your feet in magnesium chloride it will go into your body via the skin and improve any magnesium deficiency. Any oil salves also are absorbed. If not, why are ointments made…for the fun of it? Yes, the nutrition will work, but Ruby needs to read a few more comments by people telling that it did heal breaks and injuries by rubbing comphrey infused oil on.
I read that the injury cannot be open when applying comfrey because it doesnt necessarily heal it from the inside out and has been known to "heal" in an infection.
punctures are the danger. i have personally used it on abrasions, cuts, blisters and even pimples from hell..... you know, the ones that look like you've been shot in the face with a pellet gun? i always hesitated at first but became a believer when my husband broke his leg. nothing terrible, just a hairline fracture. but that's still broken and it put him out of work. i sacrificed the only plant i had left and made a poultice. just one poultice.... he wore it for a few hours the day after he broke his leg. apparently that was all he needed to speed up recovery. after that i have started using it more and more in place of the OTC oinments.. right now i just want to learn how well it will work as a foot soak because i have arthritis trying to settle in :/
i love your presentation. everything about it. and i think your hands are so beautiful. even if you didn't have any herbs i bet you could just about heal someone with just your hands.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with all of us! I am new to herbal medicine and am learning so much and feel so blessed that people like you are sharing your knowledge! God Bless!
I can see doing this if the broken bone is in an air cast or a splint...but it’s not recommended to stick anything into a cast, so i don’t see how you would get a comfrey salve or ointment onto the bone. Otherwise, this is an awesome piece of information for those without access to healthcare, or body parts that are easily accessible.
right now I'm dealing with a broken ankle in three places on my daughter. Surgery. plate and 10 screws. I'm putting a poultice above the soft cast around her knee until she gets a boot, then will apply directly
I love running but knee joint plays up. When it does I soak comfrey leaf in little warm water and place wet leaves on kitchen roll and wrap with cling film. Hour or so later remove and honestly feels like a new knee. I also make comfrey salve. Amazing plant. I only use it externally tho as believe it can interfere with liver function.
@@diannacarlson9601 this is how I do mine, I’m sure there are loads ways more out there.. •Beeswax: 30 grams (1 OZ) •Coconut oil: 65 grams (2.3 OZ) •Olive Oil soaked with comfrey leaf for 4 weeks (strained), I leave in dark cupboard and mix it every few days : 130 grams (4.60Z ) •Natural vitamin E oil: 1 tablespoon To prepare I : •Boil water in large saucepan. •Add beeswax and coconut oil to broiler/ pyrex jug and place in boiling water (do not cover to decrease condensation risk) •Once melted remove from heat and add comfrey olive oil. • Mix continuously. •Pour into containers/storage jars and allow to set.
I used comfrey i only had 12grams i then put it in 1/4cup olive oil 1/4cup of Shea butter and same amount of bees wax 4 drops each of eucalyptus oil, 4 drops of tea tree oil, a couple of drops of oil of cloves and 4 drops of peppermint oil all in a saucepan and heat till nees wax is melts stiring heaps , then strain ..good way would be to put melted bees wax in last after straining which i will try next time this comfrey ointment is so nice not to oily ..hope this helps
I'm thinking if you put your herbs into cheesecloth tied with kitchen string, you could get the same benefit that you get from steeping the loose leaves (squeeze it out to get out every bit of goodness from those leaves) without the mess of random leaves attaching themselves to the cloth used for the compress. You could even apply the cheesecloth filled with leaves directly to the skin and place the compress on top of that as directed, with plastic wrap and a towel on top to hold in the heat longer. It's a thought....
My husband needs to get knee replacement surgery bc he had a huge injury in it and idk if we should try this for a while and see if he can avoid the surgery
Thank you so much for this video. It couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. I have a friend who is a diabetic and have an open wind on his foot and he may lose his toe. I will be making a salve with comfrey to see if we can safe his toe and possibly even his foot.
I doubt this will work. In fact, I am certain it cannot. The problem is that diabetes destroys the blood vessels due to the excess sugar flushing through them 24/7. The problem has already been many years in the making by the time amputation stage is reached. There is no external application which can restore the internal dead tissues caused by compromised blood supply. He would have needed to drastically alter his diet years previously, cutting out all the sugars and starchy carbohydrates, to prevent this tragic situation.
Be careful when adding comfrey to an existing open wound comfrey should only be applied to a wound that has been closed over. For gangrene on a toe, the best thing is to use tea tree oil. I did this on my Dad's foot and his doctor said he had never seen gangrene reverse before. It was amazing. Comfrey can be used on a wound but it should be almost healed first as funny as that sounds. You don't want to trap infection in a wound by healing the top of it. So once the wound is scabbed you can then apply comfrey. comfrey is actually more for muscle and bones. Someone mentioned about it being toxic. Some people drink a comfy tea,. But according to the powers that be we should not ingest it because it can be toxic. I personally don't drink it although I wish I could but I don't want to take a chance, using it on skin or as a poultice is just fine. It shouldn't have to be long-term anyhow just a couple of days.
Please can you do a video on how to oil a Babylock Evolve overlocker. I want to learn how to take care of my machine as I cannot find a person to service my machine. It was so easy to follow you. Thank you
Hey thanks. What would you do for a blood clot as a result of a broke foot? Foot is healed but left me with a blood slug as a result of inactivity. Please, advise.
Do you make a comfrey salve with lard for pain, etc? I would love to see how you make it and any information on it. Also do you use the leaves or the roots? I have left leaves to dry for days so hopefully I have started to process properly.
How many fresh leaves would you use? And then, how do you heat up for next use? Do you heat rag in micowave or heat mixture and then soak rag again? And someone asked earlier, how long do you eave it on? Thank you!
My aunt puts castor oil directly on the skin, then a towel soaked in the comfrey on top of the oil, the castor helps absorb, in which case room temp water would be fine! :)
Does anyone think , there would be much benefit of applying a compress like this with a fractured elbow that is already 3 months into the healing process?
So, I made the comfry soad (for my foot) and you say to bath it several times a day and that it should be warm. So how are you warming it for time 2 or 3 of the day?
I had the same problem for years. Crippling. The solution is increasing your calcium intake. Calcium is the essential mineral that soothes nerves and relaxes muscles. Drinking 2 pints of milk per day, every day, is a great help. Especially on crampy days, you can feel it soothing the pain. Drink only whole milk, as this has all its good saturated fats which contain the essential fat-soluble vitamins that are necessary to assimilate calcium into your system. Then, take calcium gluconate tablets. This is a soluble form of calcium, and 1,000 mg of calcium from these tablets, chewed, when you have cramps, will quickly relieve the symptoms. Magnesium is also a pain reliever, very powerful and soothing. So half a teaspoon of Epsom Salt, swallowed and washed down with water, followed by a hot drink, every day, is helpful for all types of cramps, headaches, chest pain and muscle tics. Extra fat-soluble vitamins A & D can be obtained from cod liver oil, naturally processed, in liquid or capsule form. Take it daily, and it will build stronger bones, straight teeth, healthy skin and mucous membranes, and assist in fighting infections. All these things work because what causes the cramping is usually a deficiency of the vital nutrients in these natural foods. The preoccupation with being "slim" often means deficiencies of many nutrients because not enough foods and variety is being consumed. My cramps stopped for good after I had an 11 pound baby, breastfed for 14 months. Not necessarily recommended! But I did ensure that I followed my own good advice. Breastfeeding can induce very severe cramps because it is constantly draining a huge amount of calcium from the system if this is not supplied in the mother's diet. Phosphorus is a calcium antagonist. Excess phosphorus is excreted, but every atom of phosphorus takes an atom of calcium with it, leaving us even more deficient in calcium. All grains contain high phosphoprus and low calcium, but what we require is a total dietary ratio of 1.1 Calcium to 1 Phosphorus. Cutting down or cutting out breads, pasta, rice, etc can help increase the amount of calcium available in our body. Vegetables contain good amounts of calcium and magnesium, especially if they are grown on soil enriched with dolomite. Fish containing bones such as salmon and sardines, is another rich source of the minerals we need. Cutting out carbonated soft drinks and coffee is another good step, as these acid foods dissolve and leach out calcium.
"Magnesium oil" is just a supersaturated solution of magnesium chloride. How can this "get into" the body? If that was true, then every time we swam in the ocean, all that SODIUM chloride would "get into our body," too, and we would die! Doesn't happen! There's no better way to absorb magnesium than by swallowing it. "Magnesium oil" is just a commercial gimmick. It feels nasty on the skin, which is because it DOESN'T get through the skin. The water evaporates, leaving a layer of annoying salt outside the skin. A 2-ounce bottle here costs $22. And that is half water! That makes the price of magnesium in this form, over $700! You can buy a 25 kg bag of magnesium chloride powder for your swimming pool, for $40. That is just $1.60 per kg. Somebody is having a laugh here. They are selling bottled water and a very cheap salt for an astronomical price, and making impossible claims for it. The amount you would have to "spray on" to remedy a magnesium deficiency, would be absurdly much. Magnesium suplphate , known as Epsom Salts, is very cheap to buy, and can be taken by the teaspoonful, a suitable amount to have a genuine effect. It works within a few minutes on cramps, migraines and muscle tics etc, if you wash it down with plenty of fluids, preferably a hot drink to dissolve it more quickly.
Are you kidding? Have you ever heard of administering medication via a patch? I guess all those doctors prescribing medication via patches are idiots, because putting something on your skin won't "get into the body". Try putting on a fentanyl patch and see if you don't die of an opioid overdose. Try doing a little research before going off on an ignorant rant.
Hi! How long can I keep the “tea” in the fridge for the compress? Can I keep the compress on my broken toe overnight? (Have been doing this for two days and seeing great results).
I broke my ankle in 3 places 4 years ago. They put a plate & pins in it. Technically it is healed but i still get alot of pain in it,especially through the arch pretty often. Do you think comfrey could help any after all this time?
So I’m searching online and I can’t find comfrey seeds or plants anywhere to purchase other than eBay. I’m not trusting eBay as a reputable source. Any recommendations where to get it to plant in my garden?
Question? I ordered a mix of arnica and comfrey with two other herbs for broken bones in my feet. However. When I read about Arnica, it had some issues about reaction to it, i.e. a fast racing heartbeat, blood thinning problems, which is a problem for me as a cardiac patient. Does Comfrey also have these reaction issues? Thank you.
Magneisum deficiency causes these. Take 1/2 teaspoon of epsom Salt once a day, swallow it off a spoon and wash down with water then a hot drink to help it dissolve fast. Some people have a higher requirement and need more than this; others find this is enough to fix symptoms. But because it is soluble and easily washed out of our body, we need magneisum every day. Most soils are depleted in magnesium, therefore our food is as well. Dr Sandra Cabot has written a book called "Magnesium the Miracle Mineral," which explains how just about everybody is deficient in magneisum, and the whole slew of maladies caused by this deficiency. You can pay a lot of money for various magnesium supplements, but the easiest and much the cheapest is Epsom Salt.

Would love to know how this helps asthma?
We grew it and used it for scrapes, sometimes really bad ones.
My mom would pick it fresh, have us chew it then apply it directly to the abrasion, then bandage over it.
She also kept dried comfry, but I don't remember why.
Love comfrey! Using cream to heal jaw bone. It is mixed with Wintergreen and a few other things so no pain.
Thank you for this, my son broke his tibia 7 weeks ago. The healing has been slow so I am trying this to hopefully see a bigger improvement at the next follow up 😊
How is it going now?
@@spoolsandbobbins by the next visit, after 2 weeks of applying the tea twice daily there was some union, it's still a bit slower healing than I think is usual but as long as it's going in the right direction, he is now walking without crutches just a bit of a limp 😊
I've read about the Roman's using it as a paste and making casts out of it. Also using the paste to cover open wounds.
I read not to put it on open wounds.
Helps heal wounds faster apparently. Make sure no dirt or infection first. Wound could heal shut encapsulating infection.
@@jacobspranger1267 I would suggest using plantain first. It will draw out infection. I used it to heal poison sumac. It's great for bee stings. It takes the stinging pain out immediately.
I sure could have used this a couple weeks ago. Had a nasty fall and did the worst possible thing by putting my hands out to catch myself. Since I am very obese that meant a lot more weight coming down on it.
Even though there was a lot of pain I initially didn't think it was broken. By the time my DIL (nurse practitioner) saw it she had absolutely no doubt it was broken in multiple places and after cleaning up some wounds they tried to stabilize it which made me realize the location of the first break. Anyway to make a long story short I am trying to get my home ready to sell and this has definitely put some limitations on me and I am a slow healer. Once I get into the new home I am definitely going to have to start growing this for the future.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing & showing how you do the comfrey compress! I’ve made comfrey oil by infusing it a long time in a closed jar. My daughter used the oil when she broke her ankle bone. It healed perfectly.
I was so excited to see this! I received and planted 21 comfrey root cuttings and they ALL sprouted. I just planted 15 plants along one border and as soon as the remaining 6 plants get a little larger they will go along the other border. Cannot wait to have enough to dry, feed chickens and chop and drop mulch.
Wow! What a treasure you have! I have a small area for comfrey-perhaps 2 1/2 feet square, and I harvest a lot. Right now (9/16/2021) I am pulling large leaves, drying them in my bedroom on a tarp, and crushing the dry leaves by hand. I then ‘poach’ them in avocado oil.
Ace hardware ordered me a thin enameled double boiler, about $20. I fill the top pot about 3/4 full of dry comfrey leaves- crumbled by hand-and then add a 24-ounce bottle (3 cups) of avocado oil.
I add water to the bottom pot, bring it to a boil, and then turn down the heat so the base pot just barely simmers.
I place the the upper pot of comfrey and oil over the barely simmering water.
Do not allow the water in the base pot to come in contact with the upper pot.
After several hours, my candy thermometer registers 200 degrees Fahrenheit-for a respectable amount of comfrey oil.
Is comfrey safe to use? I read some great things about it healing teeth but then read that it had been banned due to it being toxic?
Thank you
Neal Grey what’s the texture of the leaves after you finish making the oil? Crumbly ?
@Neal Gray, do you sell your finished comfrey oil?
@@gemcool16 The FDA, CDC and Australia’s TGA ban anything that works. Big Pharma funds studies to denigrate any herb that works. It is very safe to eat and use. Pharma wants to ensure you distrust any herbal remedies..they have done a good job judging by what rubbish people repeat about liver cancer. See early books out of print now by Lawrence Hills. They are scrubbing old info and getting ‘scientific studies’ done that disprove what centuries of experience has shown works.
Hello Carolyn, Patrick the nurse here! Great demonstration! Compress vs Poultice? My mother in law was an herbologist. We learned a lot from her with herbs...I have been pretty steeped in the traditional ER medicine. Great to see you. Great job!
Thank you so much! Im making this for my mother in laws ankle and a couple clients!!
This is just the video I’ve been looking for! Thanks so much!
I enjoy watching many youtubers, but you all are stars. So good.
I would put a mesh strainer over the bowl to only get the liquid and not make such a mess I use comfrey all the time. Thank you for sharing
Knowing people today don’t like to consume comfrey, I managed to find seeds for common comfrey, the one that’s supposed to be safer for consumption. And knowing what it does for skin and bones, I really wonder if consumption would heal my intestinal damage.
In addition to exploring that, maybe have a look at slippery elm and cayenne pepper. Barbara O'Neill has videos on them and their healing properties, including leaky gut and more!
Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge with us! I have comfry growing in my backyard garden!
I found your channel a few weeks ago, very informative, and well put together. keep up the good work.
I’m following your instructions. Thanks for great info and video.
Thank you, so much for teaching this in such an accessible and articulate way-🙋🙋💟
Am so happy for this thanks very much great
Thank you for sharing, yes it works.
Why not just add enough water to reconstitute the herbs and then put them into a poultice? Seems like you might be losing a lot of herb's power this way. But if you have any spare space at all having fresh comfrey around 3/4 of the year should be easy enough and then all you have to do is smash the leaves up and apply them right to the injury.
I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine it would take a lot of herb to make 3 poultices a day. Using water carries it and I don't think the constituents are less powerful in this medium. We don't drain the water, so some herb bits do get on the skin, and after getting a few soaked towels out of the tea, I use the rest of the soaked herb itself directly on the skin in the last application before making the next batch of tea. :)
Thanks so much for sharing this great info. Love your channel! Look forward to new videos. God bless!
Comfrey is my favorite healing herb. Great vlog.
Thanks so much for this video... we dont need it now but for future run ins. I really enjoy your videos!
Really wish I had found your videos earlier! My Mom broke her leg in three places last year with no Bob growth or healing and just had another surgery you place a bone graft on February 1st! I will be making this for her so [even though it's late] maybe it'll help the bone graft and her bones to begin healing! Thank You for this!
Salves rubbed on the skin CANNOT affect the bone deep below, whether they are made from comfrey, snake oil or fairy dust! Skin is waterproof for a reason! So we don't absorb everything we touch in our environment.
Bones will heal themselves when the diet is correct.
For bones, this means abundant natural foods, rich in essential fatty acids, saturated fats, fat-soluble vitamins A, D & E, and more calcium than phosphorus.
Carolyn's family already eats a wonderful diet including all these things, which would be why a frasctured boner would heal quickly.
Children's bones heal much faster than older peoples'.
Most older people already have osteopaenia, which is a tendency to reduced calcium content in the bones.
Next step after that is osteoporosis, qwhich is when there is very little calcium left in the bones. Then, they are very susceptible to breaking, and very difficult to heal.
The very best way to stimulate bone healing is to eat lots of these foods every day :
Whole milk, cream, butter (NOT margarine), cheese, salmon, sardines, cod liver oil, green leafy vegetables, bone broth, and take calcium gluconate supplements.
Also required is a high intake of Vitamin C, from natural sources such as citrus, black currants, raw green vegetables, red peppers, and other fruits.
What to stop eating :
Anything high in Phosphorus. That includes bread, cakes, rice, barley, biscuits, cookies, cereal, pasta, anything grain or flour based.
Coffee. Soft drinks. These both dissolve and excrete calcium from the body.
@@rubygray7749 I wonder why they manufacture Ben Gay....just another snake oil?
@@rubygray7749 you are just really anti grains huh? you keep saying phosphorus. But i think its a vendetta against grain lol
@@rubygray7749 ACTUALLY there are a lot of very toxic things that can be absorbed through the skin which is why you wear gloves.... so please don't tell people their skin is some how resistant to anything.
i get it that you're an anti-grain revolutionary, i was too once. but you need to realize that bread isn't the killer.... being a fat lard pig who over eats and doesn't move is the problem.
civilizations advanced because of their ability to grow, harvest and store grains. it allowed them to settle down and thrive. but they also had livestock...which also ate the grain in winter..... you use fewer resources when you're not a nomad chasing roving herds of bovids across continents. the american indians hadn't quite caught on to that though they were starting, and they paid dearly for it later.
People today are going backwards in progress for several reasons and they too will pay dearly.
The difference between now and back then is people don't do a whole lot of anything to earn their food. they sit at a computer all day long, drive home and order fast food. which is consumed in front of their tv sets. the heart attacks, cancer, diabetes, obesity, allergies and weak immune systems are supposedly progress lol
You have to balance everything. we're omnivores.
I personally don't eat bread very often because i like it a little TOO much..... i can eat a whole box of donuts in one sitting.
No i am not 1200 lbs... i am actually very lean and active. but it just seemed like a bad idea to eat a whole flippin box of donuts. now i limit them and other items to maybe twice a year and try to only eat what i grow on my farm....
Ignore Ruby’s comment about snake oil. What rubs on your skin enters your body. Many things are absorbed thru the skin, or will Ruby suggest nicotine patches are useless? If you soak your feet in magnesium chloride it will go into your body via the skin and improve any magnesium deficiency. Any oil salves also are absorbed. If not, why are ointments made…for the fun of it?
Yes, the nutrition will work, but Ruby needs to read a few more comments by people telling that it did heal breaks and injuries by rubbing comphrey infused oil on.
I read that the injury cannot be open when applying comfrey because it doesnt necessarily heal it from the inside out and has been known to "heal" in an infection.
punctures are the danger. i have personally used it on abrasions, cuts, blisters and even pimples from hell..... you know, the ones that look like you've been shot in the face with a pellet gun?
i always hesitated at first but became a believer when my husband broke his leg. nothing terrible, just a hairline fracture. but that's still broken and it put him out of work. i sacrificed the only plant i had left and made a poultice. just one poultice.... he wore it for a few hours the day after he broke his leg. apparently that was all he needed to speed up recovery.
after that i have started using it more and more in place of the OTC oinments..
right now i just want to learn how well it will work as a foot soak because i have arthritis trying to settle in :/
i love your presentation. everything about it. and i think your hands are so beautiful. even if you didn't have any herbs i bet you could just about heal someone with just your hands.
Thanks very much
Thank you so much for sharing this information with all of us! I am new to herbal medicine and am learning so much and feel so blessed that people like you are sharing your knowledge! God Bless!
Thank you
Thanks you for your lovely video's on RUclips, happy Easter from Olaf, Noord Holland, the Netherlands, Europa
Thanks so much for teaching this in such an accessible and articulate way- YOU ROCK!!! May your bones always be strong.
Thank you so much Queen!👑👆🏾💚👌🏾
I can see doing this if the broken bone is in an air cast or a splint...but it’s not recommended to stick anything into a cast, so i don’t see how you would get a comfrey salve or ointment onto the bone. Otherwise, this is an awesome piece of information for those without access to healthcare, or body parts that are easily accessible.
I would get the cast cut off and get a removable one.
right now I'm dealing with a broken ankle in three places on my daughter. Surgery. plate and 10 screws. I'm putting a poultice above the soft cast around her knee until she gets a boot, then will apply directly
@@candacegilbert3079 ouch :( nasty break. How did she go? Did you see results from the comfrey? Hope she is all healed up now.
Remember my parents saying the pioneers used it to helpfor asthma, how I wouldn't have a clue
I love running but knee joint plays up. When it does I soak comfrey leaf in little warm water and place wet leaves on kitchen roll and wrap with cling film. Hour or so later remove and honestly feels like a new knee. I also make comfrey salve. Amazing plant. I only use it externally tho as believe it can interfere with liver function.
Wonderful testimony. How do you make the salve?
@@diannacarlson9601 this is how I do mine, I’m sure there are loads ways more out there..
•Beeswax: 30 grams (1 OZ)
•Coconut oil: 65 grams (2.3 OZ)
•Olive Oil soaked with comfrey leaf for 4 weeks (strained), I leave in dark cupboard and mix it every few days : 130 grams (4.60Z )
•Natural vitamin E oil: 1 tablespoon
To prepare I :
•Boil water in large saucepan.
•Add beeswax and coconut oil to broiler/
pyrex jug and place in boiling water (do
not cover to decrease condensation risk)
•Once melted remove from heat and add comfrey olive oil.
• Mix continuously.
•Pour into containers/storage jars and
allow to set.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate this enormously. I have my comfrey olive oil extraction completed but didn't know what to do next. God bless you!
@@diannacarlson9601 pleasure. There’s loads ways to undertake. (For acute soreness I prefer the soaked leaves compress for few hours) Enjoy 😊
I used comfrey i only had 12grams i then put it in 1/4cup olive oil 1/4cup of Shea butter and same amount of bees wax 4 drops each of eucalyptus oil, 4 drops of tea tree oil, a couple of drops of oil of cloves and 4 drops of peppermint oil all in a saucepan and heat till nees wax is melts stiring heaps , then strain ..good way would be to put melted bees wax in last after straining which i will try next time this comfrey ointment is so nice not to oily ..hope this helps
❤❤❤❤❤
I'm thinking if you put your herbs into cheesecloth tied with kitchen string, you could get the same benefit that you get from steeping the loose leaves (squeeze it out to get out every bit of goodness from those leaves) without the mess of random leaves attaching themselves to the cloth used for the compress. You could even apply the cheesecloth filled with leaves directly to the skin and place the compress on top of that as directed, with plastic wrap and a towel on top to hold in the heat longer. It's a thought....
you guys are awesome
I am making this today to help out a friend of mine. Fingers crossed.
Good to see you, thank you
I'm orally taking comfrey for broken leg
My husband needs to get knee replacement surgery bc he had a huge injury in it and idk if we should try this for a while and see if he can avoid the surgery
Have you tried BONESET. The plant has other names. But has many medical uses including speeding up the healing of bones.
My understanding is it's the same plant - ie, comfrey. Boneknit, boneset, same thing, diff. names.
Comfrey is bone knitter etc.
Definitely the same plant!
Not the same plant. Boneset is completely different
@@steinerhayes what’s the difference and what’s the scientific names for both plants?
Thoroughly enjoying your channel!
Thank you so much for this video. It couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. I have a friend who is a diabetic and have an open wind on his foot and he may lose his toe. I will be making a salve with comfrey to see if we can safe his toe and possibly even his foot.
I doubt this will work. In fact, I am certain it cannot.
The problem is that diabetes destroys the blood vessels due to the excess sugar flushing through them 24/7. The problem has already been many years in the making by the time amputation stage is reached.
There is no external application which can restore the internal dead tissues caused by compromised blood supply. He would have needed to drastically alter his diet years previously, cutting out all the sugars and starchy carbohydrates, to prevent this tragic situation.
Donna do look into LUGOL’s iodine for diabetes & comfrey can still be tried.🙏🏻
Be extremely careful with Comfrey. Do your research. It is potent.
Be careful when adding comfrey to an existing open wound comfrey should only be applied to a wound that has been closed over. For gangrene on a toe, the best thing is to use tea tree oil. I did this on my Dad's foot and his doctor said he had never seen gangrene reverse before. It was amazing. Comfrey can be used on a wound but it should be almost healed first as funny as that sounds. You don't want to trap infection in a wound by healing the top of it. So once the wound is scabbed you can then apply comfrey. comfrey is actually more for muscle and bones. Someone mentioned about it being toxic. Some people drink a comfy tea,. But according to the powers that be we should not ingest it because it can be toxic. I personally don't drink it although I wish I could but I don't want to take a chance, using it on skin or as a poultice is just fine. It shouldn't have to be long-term anyhow just a couple of days.
@@stevej4328 yes, it is potently GOOD.
I have a dehydrator that I always use for herbs. But now I have a freeze dryer. I wonder if freeze drying comfrey would be the way to go...
You can place the towel in a strainer and put that into the liquid, less mess.
Thank you!
Awesome video. Thanks..Now to get some comfrey.
Please can you do a video on how to oil a Babylock Evolve overlocker. I want to learn how to take care of my machine as I cannot find a person to service my machine. It was so easy to follow you. Thank you
Thank you very much. I broke my middle toe. Much obliged!
Hey thanks. What would you do for a blood clot as a result of a broke foot? Foot is healed but left me with a blood slug as a result of inactivity. Please, advise.
Read up on using cayenne pepper…works wonders for clot issues!
DMSO
Thank you for this video!!!
I think you can Drink the liquid as a medicinal tea!!
Do you make a comfrey salve with lard for pain, etc? I would love to see how you make it and any information on it. Also do you use the leaves or the roots? I have left leaves to dry for days so hopefully I have started to process properly.
Had a gun shot wound to the chest. Plugged the hole with chewed up comfrey and 30 minutes later I was healed
Can comfrey use to heal tooth cavity or a hold in the tooth. Cuz my teeth does not look good 😬.
How would you use comfrey over a casted leg??? Any idea 💡.please anyone thanks
Tea
put poultice above or below
Also known as the warrior plant for this reason
Can you drink it as a tea for a compression fracture. Where can you buy it from that would be reputable company ?
I was wondering can you drink it? Because my hand is in a cast at the moment. Thanks for sharing
How many fresh leaves would you use? And then, how do you heat up for next use? Do you heat rag in micowave or heat mixture and then soak rag again? And someone asked earlier, how long do you eave it on? Thank you!
Please don't use the microwave for natural healing. Heat it on the stove.
She said 20 minutes.
I was told not to apply heat to a broken bone until the later stages of recovery, would this still be effective if used with cold water?
My aunt puts castor oil directly on the skin, then a towel soaked in the comfrey on top of the oil, the castor helps absorb, in which case room temp water would be fine! :)
Can it help heal chipped tooth?
How do you reheat the comfrey once you have made it?
What about old wounds with arthritis. Is this helpful to strengthen the bones. Im thinking stronger bones have less arthritis
Would comfrey heal bone spurs? How would you apply?
not sure about comfrey for it, but castor oil is good for bone spurs
Does anyone think , there would be much benefit of applying a compress like this with a fractured elbow that is already 3 months into the healing process?
I would use a salve
What is comfrey? I've never heard of that
So, I made the comfry soad (for my foot) and you say to bath it several times a day and that it should be warm. So how are you warming it for time 2 or 3 of the day?
Once a meteor fell right into my garden and onto my head. I quickly wrapped it (my head) with comfrey from the garden. I died.
I crushed a large leaf and wrapped against my leg, for a strain, and I got a nasty rash after an hour or so. 😮
I wish I knew about this when I fractured a few bones of which created total discomfort instead of taking the chemical route
I have bone loss in my lower jaw/ teeth. Can you drink this as a tea? Where can I get comfrey?
Yes you can drin it as infusion tea.
Would comfrey oil on a dressing applied under my removable splint work on broken wrist ?
Is it possible to help migraines with comfrey?
Maybe a compress to the back of my neck and shoulders?
Can anyone say , is it can cure the jaw fracture also? ..please say its urgent 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Is the jaw a bone? Yes! Then use comphrey. Simple.
shred comfrey and yarrow, and add it to hot baths,
I broke my arms in September last year can I still use this on my arms or use a salve
Yes, if not healed, get onto it asap.
I have a question. What is good for mps cramps..please help
I had the same problem for years. Crippling.
The solution is increasing your calcium intake.
Calcium is the essential mineral that soothes nerves and relaxes muscles.
Drinking 2 pints of milk per day, every day, is a great help. Especially on crampy days, you can feel it soothing the pain. Drink only whole milk, as this has all its good saturated fats which contain the essential fat-soluble vitamins that are necessary to assimilate calcium into your system.
Then, take calcium gluconate tablets. This is a soluble form of calcium, and 1,000 mg of calcium from these tablets, chewed, when you have cramps, will quickly relieve the symptoms.
Magnesium is also a pain reliever, very powerful and soothing. So half a teaspoon of Epsom Salt, swallowed and washed down with water, followed by a hot drink, every day, is helpful for all types of cramps, headaches, chest pain and muscle tics.
Extra fat-soluble vitamins A & D can be obtained from cod liver oil, naturally processed, in liquid or capsule form. Take it daily, and it will build stronger bones, straight teeth, healthy skin and mucous membranes, and assist in fighting infections.
All these things work because what causes the cramping is usually a deficiency of the vital nutrients in these natural foods. The preoccupation with being "slim" often means deficiencies of many nutrients because not enough foods and variety is being consumed.
My cramps stopped for good after I had an 11 pound baby, breastfed for 14 months. Not necessarily recommended! But I did ensure that I followed my own good advice. Breastfeeding can induce very severe cramps because it is constantly draining a huge amount of calcium from the system if this is not supplied in the mother's diet.
Phosphorus is a calcium antagonist. Excess phosphorus is excreted, but every atom of phosphorus takes an atom of calcium with it, leaving us even more deficient in calcium. All grains contain high phosphoprus and low calcium, but what we require is a total dietary ratio of 1.1 Calcium to 1 Phosphorus. Cutting down or cutting out breads, pasta, rice, etc can help increase the amount of calcium available in our body.
Vegetables contain good amounts of calcium and magnesium, especially if they are grown on soil enriched with dolomite.
Fish containing bones such as salmon and sardines, is another rich source of the minerals we need.
Cutting out carbonated soft drinks and coffee is another good step, as these acid foods dissolve and leach out calcium.
Peppermint is great. Pepogest is sold. Also pepermint oil. 10 - 12 drops in an small glass
Magnesium can help. Using magnesium spray (called magnesium oil) is more easily absorbed by your body. And also try nettle tea/infusion.
"Magnesium oil" is just a supersaturated solution of magnesium chloride.
How can this "get into" the body?
If that was true, then every time we swam in the ocean, all that SODIUM chloride would "get into our body," too, and we would die! Doesn't happen!
There's no better way to absorb magnesium than by swallowing it.
"Magnesium oil" is just a commercial gimmick. It feels nasty on the skin, which is because it DOESN'T get through the skin. The water evaporates, leaving a layer of annoying salt outside the skin.
A 2-ounce bottle here costs $22. And that is half water! That makes the price of magnesium in this form, over $700!
You can buy a 25 kg bag of magnesium chloride powder for your swimming pool, for $40.
That is just $1.60 per kg.
Somebody is having a laugh here. They are selling bottled water and a very cheap salt for an astronomical price, and making impossible claims for it. The amount you would have to "spray on" to remedy a magnesium deficiency, would be absurdly much.
Magnesium suplphate , known as Epsom Salts, is very cheap to buy, and can be taken by the teaspoonful, a suitable amount to have a genuine effect. It works within a few minutes on cramps, migraines and muscle tics etc, if you wash it down with plenty of fluids, preferably a hot drink to dissolve it more quickly.
Are you kidding? Have you ever heard of administering medication via a patch? I guess all those doctors prescribing medication via patches are idiots, because putting something on your skin won't "get into the body". Try putting on a fentanyl patch and see if you don't die of an opioid overdose. Try doing a little research before going off on an ignorant rant.
Hi! How long can I keep the “tea” in the fridge for the compress? Can I keep the compress on my broken toe overnight? (Have been doing this for two days and seeing great results).
I broke my ankle in 3 places 4 years ago. They put a plate & pins in it. Technically it is healed but i still get alot of pain in it,especially through the arch pretty often. Do you think comfrey could help any after all this time?
Can anyone please tell me what colour does the water change into after boiling comfrey? Is it blue?

My son broke his kneecap. He’s handicapped and wondering if this would help

Question? I ordered a mix of arnica and comfrey with two other herbs for broken bones in my feet. However. When I read about Arnica, it had some issues about reaction to it, i.e. a fast racing heartbeat, blood thinning problems, which is a problem for me as a cardiac patient. Does Comfrey also have these reaction issues? Thank you.
Wonderful video! Keep up the great job.
Do you have any recipes for migraines and/or headache pains?
Magneisum deficiency causes these. Take 1/2 teaspoon of epsom Salt once a day, swallow it off a spoon and wash down with water then a hot drink to help it dissolve fast. Some people have a higher requirement and need more than this; others find this is enough to fix symptoms. But because it is soluble and easily washed out of our body, we need magneisum every day. Most soils are depleted in magnesium, therefore our food is as well.
Dr Sandra Cabot has written a book called "Magnesium the Miracle Mineral," which explains how just about everybody is deficient in magneisum, and the whole slew of maladies caused by this deficiency.
You can pay a lot of money for various magnesium supplements, but the easiest and much the cheapest is Epsom Salt.
Ruby - thank you for this information! I will certainly look into this more.
When i do it it works.
I put peppermint oil on my neck. I tend to get a tension or stress headache with sore muscles in my neck
