- What does the scientific research reveal about the efficacy of comfrey for back pain, osteoarthritis, sprangs and more? We will delve into the research and share a story of someone using this natural remedy and the incredible results.
My 88 year old mother has been chair bound for the last 3 years due to a shoulder injury. Painkillers, physio…nothing worked. About 6 weeks ago I made a salve from comfrey leaves and she started applying it several times a day. Within 2 days she was moving around, smiling and so happy her pain had decreased. Now several weeks later she is organizing her cupboards and going out shopping…all things she couldn’t do because of pain before. I am so grateful I discovered this beautiful plant!
Could you show me how to do it. With bees's wax and castor oil or other oils? Thank you for sharing.
@@lilytang6485 I infuse comfrey in olive oil using a slow cooker on low for 8 hours, then strain it. Depending on how much you want to make, you can adjust the recipe. I took 1 cup of the strained infused oil and put it in a double boiler, on simmer…add 1/4 cup beeswax (you can adjust according to how soft or hard you want) and stir until melted. Cool slightly until you can touch it but before it starts to set…add Vit E, and whatever essential oils you want. Pour immediately into containers and let them set until firm…about an hour or so. There are many tutorial on RUclips on how to make salves, but this is a basic recipe.
@@Katrn30Hi. Thanks for sharing about your mother and for the basic recipe. I’ll give a try and research more.
30 years ago I was in far north Queensland with friends in a very remote area. My friend slipped and cut the sole of her foot wide open on an oyster shell. The next day the bottom of her foot was every colour of the rainbow and the red lines had started up her leg. No mobile phone or phone reception meant no way out, however we found a Hippy and he made a poultice of the leaves and changed it every 2-3 hours. 3 days later she just had a fine red line on the sole of her foot. Just amazing and I would never had believed it if I hadnt seen it.
So why is he a hippy?
he lived in the rainforest for 30 years, grew everything himself, didnt part take in society etc

I burnt my hand severely thirty years ago in a dry cleaning press, the doctors wanted to give me a skin graft, but my friend said he'd put some comfrey ointment on it and he said I wouldn't need the skin graft, two weeks later I went back to see the doctors and they were shocked, I never told them about it. The comfrey ointment was very thick and dark not like the stuff you buy now which is light and weak.
awesomeness
Recipe for the burn ointment you spoke about: Mix equal parts comfrey root powder, RAW honey, Wheat germ oil. Works wonders! Looks like dark fudge. Restored the skin (without scarring) on my toddler son's face when he suffered a severe burn from an extremely hot clothes iron.
@@SouthronDrummer …Wow Robert, Thank you! What an amazing plant and and it’s awesome of you to give the recipe! ♥️
@@SouthronDrummerthank you !
@@SouthronDrummerour large ram hit my pinky and I haven’t been able to use it since ☹️. I’d like to try this recipe. But what does the wheat germ oil do? Is it necessary?
Just got 2 broken toes all purple and swollen. I used comfrey for 3 days all pain and swelling has gone still a little discolored but I can walk on my foot without any discomfort. Made me a believer!
I make a salve with comfrey leaves. Sell it at farmers markets...it sells really well. I broke my ancle when I was 53 and astounded my orthopedic surgeon...was an eye opener to him to see how well I healed...I didn't even use a tylenol for pain.
I work at the Farmers market and just learned about comfrey salves. I have a country plant and was using most of the leaves to fertilize other plants that I had in containers on my deck. Today I stopped at one of the vendors and asked him if he had any country plans he was selling her plants etc He had two plants gave me one and told me I could pay for it another time. Then I asked him if he would mind trading and I would make him some salve. On the way home I thought about making salves and using him as trades for the market or selling them. I'm not sure how we could do it but would you send me the recipe or video link of where you go to learn to make the sales. I've seen some some are simple and summer extremely complicated and disjointed. Would love to communicate with you.

Do you have a tutorial on how to make the comfrey salve?

Praise the LORD for comfrey
Id still use this internally before any big pharma drug 🤷♀️
Me too.
70 + Years old I make my own comfrey salve I use it for my back pain an any other pain on my body Ii works great. God Bless ❤
How do you make the salve l am 62 and definitely in pain
@pamparrish753 it's really quite easy to make. Just search up how to make a comfrey salve, they're are loads of videos. You'll need some beeswax and olive oil and of course some comfrey
@@joystar7468 thank you very much I will Google and try
I am taking the homeopathic symphytum officinale 200c potency for my bone pain muscle and tendons ligaments and lower back pain.just started it today and it has eased my pain in 1 hour.i am also using it for my spinal cord injury and tail bone pain little bone fractures tendons and ligaments effected too. 👍
A friend shared that the root tap of comfrey reaches so deep into the earth and it brings up into the leaves so many beneficial nutrients that it should not be kept in a bucket. I love learning new information on utube. Thank you for sharing. I found your channel looking for Comfrey Cream recipes, now I know why I need it.
I bought some Bocking 14 about 10 years ago and planted it in different places at the edge of my garden and lawn. I just dug up 2 plants, replanted a piece in the original spaces and then planted 33 other pieces of those original plants at the edge of my gardens and the side of my house. I want it to stop the encroachment but I also will use it for chop and drop and Jadam fertilizer tea.
The new planted areas will keep me from having to chop it and put it in a wheel barrow to spread it in my garden.
I make Jadam (Korean) comfrey tea by chopping up a bunch of comfrey and stuffing it into a 32 gallon black garbage can. I pack the comfrey tight up to about 3/4 of the garbage can. I throw in some leaf mold and sea salt, wait about three months and mix the solution 1 part tea to 10 parts water. You can keep adding the comfrey and water. It's freeze proof over the winter. It works and you will never run out of the stuff.
The Russian Bocking 14's NPK is 1.8 - 0.5 - 7. Buying it was one of the smartest things I've ever done for my garden and my back
What zone do you live in that it’s freeze proof ? I’m in zone 3 and even antifreeze gets slushy 😏
I brewed some in the house last year but it stunk !
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 It does stink, but it works.
M
Comfrey tea to enrich your garden soil, not to drink!!!!
@@delfine7163thank you - I was slightly wondering, the leaf mold had me convinced it wasn’t for drinking. Lol
I just learned some negative information about this plant, but if so much positive feedback, then I choose to believe the magic of it. Sometimes, God's gifts are good gift.
It is suggested by the researchers not to take it internally. It also should not be overdone. Do not take this plant perpetually. Blessings.
God’s gifts are ALWAYS good.
ALWAYS GOOD! 😊
Those studies are misleading. It was done we on 6 wk old rats and comfrey EXTRACT was given as 40% of their diet for a very long time. What they don't tell you is the same studies were done in pigs.... no lesions.
Seems to me the warnings on IBUPRPHEN are more dangerous.
I've recently heard from a friend with multiple myeloma , cancer of the bone marrow and blood, very painful. He looked it up on Goog and they said not to take it if you have cancer. I had just given him some comfrey oil. I thought it would be ideal for his pain. He now seems to have rheumatoid arthritis, which is causing severe pain and swelling in his hands. I'm sure comfrey salve would be an immense help to both.
I broke my ancle in 2 places at 53 , I make comfry salve, used CV omfry and both my surgeon and myself was very pleased with my fast healing.
Thirty years in the masonry business and a bad back to prove it. I am going to try this. Thanks Chad for this great information. God bless!
Wow I can imagine pain from that. I hope it works out. Blessings.
Did the comfrey work? My other half has a very bad back.
My husband has suffered from back pain for thrifty years. He doesn't believe in herbs. So he would never try it. So I finally made a salve and he used for 6 days then he backed off and then used for day or two during the next two weeks. And his pain has eased off and he has had sleep like not experienced in many years. It really works. And he is now a believer.
Thank you for the detailed lesson.
Good video and very useful great job!
I absolutely love and appreciate your videos Chad. Your family is just beautiful! Thank you for all your hard work. You are “re-educating” the world.
Just like that wonderful lessons thanks for teaching us great
Great video. I will try the salve as I have serious nerve damage in my leg/foot area that is not improving after almost 4 years
We couldn't agree more with all these findings - comfrey is such a blessing, and so easy to grow in our garden. We make our own salve, and even combine it with Yarrow for added benefit.
Thanks so much for getting out the word, and God bless your ministry!
Thanks for sharing
Used a comfrey cream for bursitis in my hip. Love the results. Thank you for your video
SAWEET ❤! Thank you!
Amazing!!
God bless you brother, we are so blessed by your ministry.
Thank you.
I like it thanks for the lessons great
You didn’t mention that there are varieties that don’t spread by seed! If you can buy a seed that is Common Comfrey, and it will spread if you don’t get the flowers early. There are 2 others that you should research, Bocking 4 & Bocking 14 that might be a better choice for your needs. You need to research for yourself.
I swear by it for the condition for women (or men) that sleep on their side and get inflammation at the joint for the leg and pelvic bone? I think it is more tendon, cartilege, rather than bone issue. I believe it goes through the skin too as there is no way to get close to that joint. I put the salve on all three sides. The relief is almost immediate.
Comfrey root cream containing comfrey extract is what he says was used in a study to lower back pain. After one hour started to help.
I just discovered your videos, thanks
Thanks Chad good advice as always
Thanks. The little m followed by g is not international units; it is microgram, a measurement for very small amounts. It must refer to taking it internally, because you used much more externally
I broke the radius bone next to my wrist last year at the age of 56. A friend gave me comfrey leaves to make a poultice and a tea. The break healed beautifully, the Dr was very surprised and I have all strength back in my arm. There's a reason it was called "knit-bone"
How do you make a poultice and the tea?
@@jude7321 roll and crush moist leaves and apply to the skin. Cover with a rolled tea towel. Tea is just hot water over leaves, let it steep and drink a bit once a day while healing 😉
Yes it works, I use it for back pain.
miracle working plnt
For His healing hands and herbs
Wish he would have given the recipe for the cream.
so how do you make the cream?
Than sign that looks like ug which you thought that may be international units is micro gram
Where can you buy this comfrey oil for pain
What is the pathway for healing?
How did you even find this info from the national library of medicine? I pulled up studies from the 1800’s!
Who sells Comfrey Bocking 14? Local greenhouses don't appear to have it, only vegetable plants & flowers. I'd like to start a plant this growing season but don't know who sells it.
I am at 2:10 and on pause... I have my big toe right foot at the big knuckle hurting (had a bad jam on it) and my left thumb joint at the base .. How did or do or does one make whatever and place it on these and keep it in place.. a new one daily etc. or what?
Unpausing and continuing... you may tell the answer to this so so sorry... if asking ...
God Bless ♥️
Thank you blessings on you.
How do I purchase comfrey salve from you? I only see tees, bags and hats on your store?
Hello , New subscriber - I purchased 20 roots to plant , Is it alright to plant around my Peach trees , blackberry , blueberry bushes or along our property line ???? God bless you I've had a bad back with several surgeries & will never have another surgery again as it just keeps getting higher herniation in a few years , I want to grow my own for our garden plus the sauve for my Back.
Thank you God bless you. Mrs Josette-Texas
Yes, it is. It will bring micronutrients to the surface for your fruit trees. It’s called a Dynamic Accumulator for this reason. I’d get Bocking 4 or 14 because it doesn’t spread like common comfrey, plus it has a higher level of the active ingredient, Allantoin.
Do you sell this comfrey salve?
That was the sign for micrograms (not international units)
Thanks for the correction.
stop apologizing for telling the truth about God's herbs.
Interactions ?
Hello. I found your video very interesting and helpful. I'm looking for some natural remedies to treat my back problems.
I have a question? I live in an apartment, so I can't grow my own comfrey. I NEED something for my pain. Can I use a cream instead? Will it have the same effect ? Thank you so much
A friend of ours makes this salve desertrosesisters.com/product/comfrey-salve-by-sofia/
We also made a video with her making it. You can order from her if you like.
ruclips.net/video/bpfU_120Ydg/видео.html
Thankyou.will it be possible to send me few seeds or roots to India so I can grow here ?
how can I get some of your creams? where can I order them? thank you so much
Good as I can see
Even if there is a small risk to increase cancer I wouldn't take the risk.
Do you know if all varieties of concrete work?
I only know for sure that Symphytum officinale which is the most standard form. I believe I have read that the Russian form may have more of the toxic alkaloids in it. But I am not sure. I just stick with Symphytum officinale. I just started drying some more today. Also harvested more seeds today. Blessings.
Wow
do you use the roots or the leaves to make salve?
The kind that should be used is Symphytum officinale
Can’t subscribe only page that shows wanted me to donate for another cause😮
How about a recipe for salve.
Hi! put "comfrey salve recipe" in the search bar and you'll get many video tutorials, including one from this creator.
Why is my comfrey root 14 established blocking root plant have mildew on it?? It also has some yellow leaves at the base as well??? Just noticed this today. Thanks in advance!
I have a similar problem, I think it could be lack of sunlight and too damp (too crowded,lack of ventilation I think)
Going to transplant to lighter area.
@@onedwinone thank you, I think you have a point here. I have mine in an area that only gets about 4-5 hrs of full sun. Hope you have success with your's as well!
Plant it in full Sun as much as possible. I divide and plant it wherever I can, chickens eat it constantly, so I grow more plants to stay ahead of them. A 2” root cutting is sufficient to establish a new plant. Plant it 1-2” deep. Should push out leaves in 1-3 months.
Mine have always done that at the end of season. If it’s still early cut the whole thing back to the ground and in a week or so it will come back!!
Where can we buy this plant ?
Thanks !
I ordered roots, and grow it.
Do any one know why my new comfrey I just got from Etsy is flowering indoor? and what I can do now before I plant the roots in May outside thank you Ewa
After you plant them outside they should flower year after year.
It might also put out more flowers this year. But that I am not sure about.
I wouldn’t worry about flowers. They’ll come back. Once the plant is established, it’s quite vigorous.
Does it have to be in a cream form to use it or can it just be put on directly?
Using it fresh ( the leaves blended with a little water , to make a liquid ) works great. Warning it will stain anything it touches ! Put the green juice where you need it , cover with wet paper towel , then plastic wrap ( to keep it moist and prevent a mess. Fyi the root is 10 times stronger. It mashed up and applied is sticky and pulls cuts together , but don't use it on open cuts unless it's a clean cut . Heals so fast it can seal in infection.
@@kerryhamilton7404 wow thanks
You used to hear about the herb boneknit. I didn't realize they were the same thing! Where can I source some of this plant to grow it?
I ordered seeds and started some in trays.
@@whytchywooo …I think if you ordered the seeds, they were the common comfrey. They are the only ones that will produce seeds. If you don’t cut the flowers before they go to seed you may have a problem with comfrey everywhere! There are different variations that are better. Bocking 4 & Bocking 14. You need to research which is best for you!
where could I buy this cream or salve??? made up???????
I think it was made illegal because of it's toxicity.
Well, in Australia, I think the commercial sale or supply of Comfrey, or Comfrey products, was made illegal here some time back because it has been deemed to be toxic. In some council areas it is on their noxious/toxic/invasive weed list, and it is illegal to have it growing.
Apparently, it is very toxic to the liver, where human consumption is concerned, it should NOT be eaten.
Try Mountain Rose Herbs.

You find it all over on Amazon and eBay

That's generally what the FDA and others tell the masses to keep folk in fear and using THEIR approved petroleum based, cancer causing, big Pharma meds. Big Pharma make tons selling on OTC AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS for arthritis and other ailments that can be managed with natural resources.
Research how Medical Schools curriculums and the American Cancer Society came about and WHO started it!
@@coalblack181 people have needed liver transplants after ingesting comfrey.
Poisoning ourselves won't help make herbal remedies mainstream.
@@jturtle5318 Would you mind please sharing the information about people needing liver transplants after ingesting comfrey?
I can't seem to locate any valid sources for that.
What variety of comfrey does the best?
Bocking 4 or 14
Love the explanation and have always been impressed with the huge range of beneficial uses that comfrey can be put to.
My question is how to process the plant into its medicinal form.
Just eat it, cook it (what temp) mash it ?
The leaves, flowers or roots ?
Young plants or old ?
How much to eat, make cream, oil or whatever.
Do not consume...make poultice or salves/ creams
@@countrygalinthecity Do not trust the FDA, (the law enforcement arm of pig farma)..they are not our friend.
Comfrey can cause liver failure, don't ingest it.
You can steam it like a green leafy vegetable, you can mash it into potato, the leaves are the easiest to eat. The roots are most medicinal but why dig up this valuable plant when there is so much benefit in the leaves that just keep producing? Pick the nicest looking leaves to eat.
@@countrygalinthecity rubbish..see my other comments.
If you drink Tea from it ,is it bad?
Most would say no but I know lots of midwives use it after birth. Mine did.
It’s a very mild tea tasting like cucumber. It heals ulcers and lots of stomach problems when taken as a tea.
what about the warning from the FDA that it could cause cancer ?
They did some tests on rats and some of them got cancer, BUT, it turns out that that the dosage rate was INJECTED into the rats at a very high rate, and for much longer than was needed. It sounds like Big Pharma at work. Colloidal Silver is another spooky thing nobody should use. The last I knew the FDA (Fear and Death Administration) only approved it to be used to preserve transplant organs, and to be instilled in the bladder for interstitial cystitis.
The same FDA that approved canola oil for our consumption? Don't trust them
The key word is could. It's possible it's a lie to keep us from knowing about the goodness and healing properties. The FDA probably is somehow connected to the pharmaceutical companies. And those companies defiantly are all about profits and not healing. Look at cancer-its a multi billion dollar industry. Research and draw your own best conclusion.
I would check to see what studies they have to back that up and are those studies even valid. I don’t trust them AT ALL.
The stupid experiment 💉 they approved causes cancer. They are bought and paid for. Any information they put out should be heavily scrutinized.
Can comfrey heal decay teeth
Try it and find out. Then let us know. It won't hurt to try, and it may help.
I have been trying to find comfrey starts and It's almost impossible to find! My state considers it a noxious weed.
Ebay
Got starts on etsy
Used it for 2 wasp stings - didn’t do a damn thing to help
Thank you for your work in highlighting what our Creator has given for our healing... Would comfrey help someone diagnosed with osteoporosis? Would sitting in comfrey baths work to strengthen all their bones??
Where can we buy comfrey plants?
Look into gardening groups in your area.
I really wish someone wud just give an easy recipe to make a cream. Its 2023 and not 1550 with all the explaination

I wouldn’t run my engine with trans fluid and brake cleaner mixed. I wouldn’t soak with brake fluid or Laquer thinner ever and never run it with mixed crap in it.
That comfrey doesn’t look well
Sorry, but there's no way a broken toe healed within days. I could believe that it showed signs of healing, but to be completely healed? That sounds like an exaggeration.
FDA pulled all comfrey supplements due to potential liver damage caused by pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Do your homework.
Dont consume......topical
I do the opposite of what the FDA say, they work for big pharma! The FDA APPROVED the clot shot too...You see how well that's working out!
@@coalblack181 if you ingest comfrey, you can have liver failure.
And the anti-rejection drugs if you manage to get a transplant are definitely not herbal.
@@coalblack181 exactly !!!! By the way, would you know why my established comfrey 14 blocking root plant is covered in powdery mildew on the bottom leaves???? I thought is was a preventative for that???
@@TheLissabee sorry, i don't know...neem oil might help, but you're going to have to mix it.
Snapped my collar bone, and the physician said it was snapped clean off!! ... and that the sharp bone could come through my skin!...So they said I may even have to have it pinned back together!
I put a comfrey poultice on every night for qbout 3 or so nights with a little cling film and a bandage on whilst i slept and also just rubbed on expressed juice now an then. On my return to the hospital within that week they said it was looking great! Living proof of comfrey working wonders.
