Hello to all. I thought I talked about the mill used in this vid and never responded to so many others asking about it because I mistakenly thought I had mentioned it and didn't want to continue repeating myself. I have since watched my own vid again and realized that I had in fact DID NOT mention or talk about it. Please accept my apologies. I have the model #116 from this small family company at this web address - grainmaker.com I have also received an E-mail from a recipient of one of the jars of the very Comfrey Salve that I made during this video and wanted to share the testimony mail with others. Others have responded with similar experiences and this one is as follows and exactly as I received it minus his personal e-mail and last name: "Hey, I hope yall are doing well. I dont know if you remember me but you sent me a jar of your comfrey salve as a gift for catching clues in a video. I wanted to let you know that stuff is awesome. I recently had a mishap while sharpening my chainsaw and instead of going to a doctor I pushed my skin back together and applied gauze and tape with this salve liberally applied. Within a week it has healed tremendously and the whole time it kept the pain to pretty much non existent. Well i figured i would drop you a line and let you know how much that has helped me and see how yall were doing especially with all this other stuff going on in the nation. John 16:33 in my NKJV Bible is a fitting verse for these times for sure. Well I hope all is well. Have a good day." I Thank You for sharing Derek P.
Just a small tip for those who may not know- in order to get the most strength out of your herbs, pick them JUST BEFORE THEY BLOOM. This is when the plant is producing the most oil, so this is when it’s strongest. 😊
Thanks for mentioned that. I have been wondering lately when I should harvest my chamomile, spearmint and peppermint that I grew for the first time this year. I will be looking for the flowers before I pick.😊
@annchong9701 in the morning just after the dew dries off the leaves. That's when it has the most oil in the leaves. As it gets hotter in the day some of the oils go to the stem and roots then back up again at night.
Many years ago I fell and landed on my thumb it started swelling and hurt like the dickens, I pulled some comfrey leaves packed into a cup added hot water push a wash cloth into the mixture to absorb the comfrey tea juice and then placed it on my Thumb 15 minutes later swelling gone and NO pain. Good stuff.
I would take the stem and make a tincture, as it's been used internally for treating diarrhea, and it's been claimed to heal gastric ulcers, hemorrhoids, and to suppress bronchial congestion and inflammation. This way none of the plant is wasted.
I don’t know if you are still reading these comments, I have only just found you. I have subscribed, this salve looks wonderful I would have loved to receive a jar anyway I loved your content and will be checking for more ideas.
I have never had coconut oil go rancid either. It also has anti bacterial properties and excellent for oral oil pulling - which makes all the more sense to use in salves. Thanks for this because I was thinking coconut oil as I am about to make salve with my comfrey, and your video is the first that shows use of coconut oil vs olive oil. I pick up those small electric coffee grinders at Goodwill for average $4 ea.
Hi, I am Linda from Iceland.👋 Thank you very much for your demonstration and recipe. I grow comfrey here and have used it before in a salve I made for someone who had a huge second degree burn on his leg. He used the salve after the wound had closed up and it healed very well. I did use the traditional way of making the salve but like your way better and will apply it next time I'll do it. I love the thought of more potency. I do not have a lot of lemon balm but a little though and will definitely use that as well.
I'm so glad that I found your info about comfrey. I'm wasn't lucky enough to get one of your salve little jars, I live in Ontario Canada and I don't qualify for it. However I think it's wonderful you sharing your product and information. God bless you! 🙏
I can't even tell you how excited I was to find this video (and your whole channel)! I have a 2-gallon jar full of dried (but not yet crushed) lemon balm leaves from my herb garden last year -- honestly didn't know what I was going to do with them since I'm still a beginner with herbs, but now I know exactly what I'll use them for! And my comfrey crown that I bought last May from a local farmwife & planted (which grew into a huge bush within a month!) is already coming back from the winter, so I imagine I'll have lots of comfrey leaves in another month or so. I'm sending my deepest appreciation and many thank-yous!!
I came across your other video after my mom had a similar mishap with a pan of bacon grease all over her hand and arm. After watching your video she ordered a jar and is currently waiting for it to arrive. She plans on growing the plants in her garden moving forward. I was struck by how many people in the Amazon reviews stated that it alleviated their knee pain. As she also suffers from knee pain, this could potentially benefit her in more than one way. Thank you for your informative videos around this worthwhile plant.
I enjoyed your comfrey video. I liked your coconut oil suggestion instead of olive oil. You are so genuine and explained your recipe perfectly. I will be making your salve. Thank you for posting.
Yes you can use a coffee grinder dedicated to herbs. Typically, they are small and won’t be able to handle large amounts, so it may take several passes. You can also use a high speed blender.
Another way to ensure suspension of ground plant material is to cool the mix almost til gel consistency. Then mix. Or, cool to consistency of softened butter, then use a hand mixer, kitchenaid or stick blender. Basically it's like making herbed butter. The final product will need to be scooped into jars and packed like brown sugar with the bottom of a measuring cup slightly smaller than the opening of the jar. Thanks for the recipe. It helped my 2nd degree burn. I don't think it would have left a scar if I'd gotten to it sooner. As it is it's still quite faded.
Well I'm two years too late for the giveaway but I am so happy to have found this video. I grow comfrey the bocking 14 variety and just love it. I'm definitely going to try making Salve your way because I did want to make a stronger version. Enjoy this video very much. Thank you
I just watched this video today.. I figure it's a bit late for the entry for the free jar of comfrey salve. I do recognize the two numbers 479 and 501 as being Arkansas area codes! I'm here to see how you make your salve and then I'm headed to the kitchen. Great video! Thanks for posting!
Hey, I was wondering where you got your mill? I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last year and also I had a tumor on my back and was hardly able to walk. Thank God he is so good to me! I got one of your jars of comfrey around 8 months ago and I am now using it on my back. I need my vertebrae to heal. The tumor on my back, broke my back so I am praying God will divinely heal me!
Hi, I am so sorry to know of your cancer. Please look at what Barbara O´Neil says about castor oil and cancer. : "The 'Miracle Oil' Doctors Won't Tell You About! Barbara O'Neill's Castor Oil Benefits" I sincerely wish you ll the best and hope you'll recover, or at least get to feel better.
👍🙌 Blessings and greetings from Australia. Excellent video thank you so much. I’m growing comfrey for the first time and I’m looking forward to utilising it in the very near future.
I very much love the way you made your Comfrey Healing Salve and very much appreciate the efforts you took to show us the complete recipe and directions. I just found your channel today and I am really excited about making this salve. I really want to take a look through your channel at past videos to hopefully see a video showing how you made your dehydrator. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. May God always Bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
I would add Jojoba oil myself to extend the shelf life of the coconut oil. Jojoba oil shelf life is 2-3 years and fractionated coconut oil is only 12 months. So, if you have organic unrefined etc. etc. we don't know the shelf life 😂 Adding Jojoba oil will help 🙏🏾
Oh my, thank you for sharing that. I've had pain for years. There are supplements that help me. 500mg Allithiamine (for 3 days I felt the difference) , nascent Iodine, 4000mg of potassium (I also have non smoking lung disease and who would have thought it would help that. Not any website I know says to take potassium for lungs. But I have to take alot), I seem to need supplement amounts for deficiency to make an impact. Normal multivitamins don't seem to do a thing, just not enough. I'm better but still looking for that something else. Just thought I'd share with you what helps me.
I got better by using essential oils and totally changing my diet. I took fibro down to nothing but I use only distilled water, turned vegetarian, stopped all grains (that means no bread or nothing with flour), and started smoking pot (it is legal where i am but i have a Rx for medical strength). Now my diet is not that strict anymore but I am being very very careful. Good luck ❤ @ladybugsarah6671
God bless you for this comfrey salve recipe I am definitely going to make this salve recipe and grind up the comfrey and lemon balm to a powder . I am so thankful and grateful for your help .
Tyvm for sharing, Very nice grain mill and dehydrator! I always keep my dried herbs whole until I am ready to use them because of the volatile oils and healing properties. Good idea to grind your comfrey and lemon balm! Coconut oil is also antimicrobial.
Hello sunshine! I’m two years too late and live in Canada 🇨🇦! This video just popped up as I’ve been watching a bunch of homesteading videos and hand made products. I loved this video. Subscribed and off to see what other videos you have made. Happy Sunday! 😇❤️
This is such an awesome recipe! I have made it! My friend had a bad sunburn, so he took some home, said it works! It also works for itchy bug bites and for burns as well! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Your video was awesome, straightforward,detailed and informative!!! Keep doing what you do !! ( your Name sir?) I can’t wait to try your recipe and the salve. Just wish I saw your video back when you were offering the salve give away ! Peace brother.
I love what you did by saying you would give away a free jar. I also like the fact that you powdered most of your herbs and I'm considering trying that in the future. Thanks for the info!
I really appreciate your presentation style. Step by step with details and methods explained thoroughly. I’m going to start harvesting my first year comfrey and get to processing it. Plus some prolific lemon balm that has spread into my yard. Thanks!
Great tips and I will definitely be trying this out next year. So kind of funny story… I moved out of the big city of Toronto and onto a country property near Ottawa - the capital of Canada. Before I moved, about a dozen years ago now, a coworker friend gave me a native plant from his garden and I forgot what he said it was all this time. It’s been growing and thriving in the spot I planted it and this year another friend from the city asked how it was doing, then told me about an app I could use on my phone to identify plants I’m unsure about. Not being techie and only getting a fancy “smart” phone last year, I didn’t know about such wonders. Well, turns out it is comfrey. I’ve made salves with plantain from my yard before that is also good for wounds and sunburn, but I am excited to make this out of my now not-so-mystery plant. I confess that I won’t pulverize the leaves to the degree you have though and just be lazy and crunch them up and put them with coconut oil in my big crockpot. I do have an air fryer oven I can use as a dehydrator so I will do that first. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you from Canada!
Thank you for the great video. A little more info than I’ve found in other videos. I’ve only seen one other video where they used powdered comfrey but they didn’t speak in it or explain anything.
wow I am so anxious to make this recipe. I saw your burn healing video also. I currently have a second degree burn on my toes. I poured boiling maple sap over them. I was using Plantain Salve that I made, but I ended up going to the hospital since it was so severe. And they didn't give me the silvadene cream either. Surprised about that. Had I known about your cream, I would have had it made and ready to use. I will be growing some comfrey this summer to make some of this salve. Thanks so much for sharing. Praying my toes heal up as nice as your arm did!!! Thanks
I finally had a good use for the Montana build grain mill (I gave up wheat a long time ago). although i ground the last batch, it was no where near as powdery as when using the grain mill. Thanks! We made one batch last night into this morning and it's already on it's way to people who need it. I'm eyeing the dehydrator now.
Thanks for a much more detailed explanation of how to make your comfrey salve I can see why yours would be better. Keep up the good work. Dave from Liverpool England.
I want to say thank you very much! I finally got your salve and it is amazing!!! I am so thankful that I got it because it's fabulous! Thanks for taking the time to show us step by step how to make it. Great recipe! Do you have a video showing how you made your dehydrator? It looks like a solar dehydrator. Thank you again!!!
Thank you for your detailed method. I know I am 4 years late, but really would love to purchase your salve. Is that an option? I did recently send an email and have my fingers crossed. Awesome video
Hi all from OZ. I wish I had seen your video just a few hrs earlier. I have dried comfrey which I made into a salve but I just couldn't get it the a fine powder. I do indeed have leave matter in my 2 jars (made as a test) which I will still use on my sprained leg and knee. I've been using a poultice mix until I could make the salve. This will be much cleaning and easier to use but now I know how I'll make my next batch. Thanks heaps for all the detailed instructions. I'll be saving your video for future reference 😊
I have used comfrey poultices before but never tried the salves because it always seemed the comfrey properties would be too diluted to be very effective. But your recipe I will certainly try. Thanks for the recipe.
Hello, I appreciate the clarity in your instructions. I have just started growing comfry and cant wait to try this recipe. Thank you for this recipe. God bless
Too bad I live in Canada. Would love some of your salve. Thanks for the instructions. I will try and make my own and have already shared the video with family and friends.
Oohh i just stumbled across this... obviously much later.😊 Wondering if you'd use honey. I have made many salves with honey and its been a great way to soothe skin.
I wish i wasnt 2 years late 😂 ill still give you all the buttons though. Im starting to make herbal medicines myself and would like to try this for my husbands back... i need to find some comfrey... whatever that is.
just founded your channel just getting in to herbs my self i planted comfry a few days ago cant wait to see if this can help my Arthritis hands thank you shirley from Alabama
That is a very good question. Short answer is I really don't know. I just know when I purchased it that it was advertised as 'organic and when it arrived in the mail, the package claimed it to be 'organic' as well. I'm not sure how I would ever come to know either way. Cheers!
Your sense is correct: there's NO SUCH thing, actually 😮 There's not a way to verify "organic" honey or wax. Just buy it from small, American producers 👍
Thank you for posting this video. I have been wanting to make comphery salve. I also grow both these plants. You gave me the courage to finally go for it.
Just found your channel while looking for a use for our comfrey epidemic, here, just north of Stonehenge, in southern England. Love your style. Thanks for the lesson.

Do you sell the ground comfrey and lemon balm please?
Give weights for your 1 c comfrey and 2 T lemon balm in ounces and/or grams. that will be more accurate.
What's your email addy

What time of the day is best to pick the herbs to get the most flavor?
@@annchong9701 I believe it is after the dew on them has dried, so about 9:00 a.m.
@annchong9701 in the morning just after the dew dries off the leaves. That's when it has the most oil in the leaves. As it gets hotter in the day some of the oils go to the stem and roots then back up again at night.
Thank you for the tip
😢I figure I am 3years to late but it is cool

This was the most informative comfrey salve recipe and instructions I’ve found on the web! Great job!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Comfrey infusion with organic cloves is the best mouth healer for canker sores. Protects the enamel on your teeth. Just keeps a healthy mouth
Grazie 🙏🌻
How is this used? Please do tell. Does it rebuild enamel on teeth? Thank you.
may the sun shine and the rain gently fall on your land God bless
Awesome my friend. Have shared to my Wife. Plantain is another good salve to try....😊
I would take the stem and make a tincture, as it's been used internally for treating diarrhea, and it's been claimed to heal gastric ulcers, hemorrhoids, and to suppress bronchial congestion and inflammation. This way none of the plant is wasted.
Oh my! I bought some comfrey seeds. Planted it! Now I wait until next summer and make my tincture!
Is it comfrey stems or lemon balm. Of course, you could make a tincture with comfrey & lemon balm for stomach issues! Love it!
I don’t know if you are still reading these comments, I have only just found you. I have subscribed, this salve looks wonderful I would have loved to receive a jar anyway I loved your content and will be checking for more ideas.

You can dedicate a coffee bean grinder just for dried herbs, as it will also make a fine powder.
Yes you can use a coffee grinder dedicated to herbs. Typically, they are small and won’t be able to handle large amounts, so it may take several passes. You can also use a high speed blender.
Yes a coffee grinder works great 😊
So enjoyed your video you made it look so easy my next harvest I’m going to try to build my own and what I seen was 501
I made your recipe. I've been using the salve on my normally dry and itchy hands and arms. This is the best ever. Instant relief. Thank you.
Another way to ensure suspension of ground plant material is to cool the mix almost til gel consistency. Then mix. Or, cool to consistency of softened butter, then use a hand mixer, kitchenaid or stick blender.
Basically it's like making herbed butter. The final product will need to be scooped into jars and packed like brown sugar with the bottom of a measuring cup slightly smaller than the opening of the jar.
Thanks for the recipe. It helped my 2nd degree burn. I don't think it would have left a scar if I'd gotten to it sooner. As it is it's still quite faded.

Thank you for the simple recipe. I will be making this. I'm new to your videos I like them so far. Thumbs up.
I finally had a good use for the Montana build grain mill (I gave up wheat a long time ago). although i ground the last batch, it was no where near as powdery as when using the grain mill. Thanks! We made one batch last night into this morning and it's already on it's way to people who need it. I'm eyeing the dehydrator now.
Thank you, of course I’m 2 yrs late but that’s okay; the information is priceless.
Wow beeswax I think in itself that would be healing as they have healing properties too I’ve been looking into monuka honey..
Wish I had seen this two years ago!
Thanks for a much more detailed explanation of how to make your comfrey salve I can see why yours would be better. Keep up the good work. Dave from Liverpool England.
Thank you Mr. Dave.
After watching this video I will be making some salve..so good that you shared your recipe..thank you so much..
I am very impressed with your ingredients and process of making this Comfrey Salve, well done, and thanks for sharing, and posting from the UK.
Nice dehydrator
Awesome video and explanation! You rock ❤love the idea of milling your comfrey & lemon balm!
I want to say thank you very much! I finally got your salve and it is amazing!!! I am so thankful that I got it because it's fabulous! Thanks for taking the time to show us step by step how to make it. Great recipe! Do you have a video showing how you made your dehydrator? It looks like a solar dehydrator. Thank you again!!!

Thank you for your detailed method. I know I am 4 years late, but really would love to purchase your salve. Is that an option? I did recently send an email and have my fingers crossed. Awesome video
Hi all from OZ. I wish I had seen your video just a few hrs earlier. I have dried comfrey which I made into a salve but I just couldn't get it the a fine powder. I do indeed have leave matter in my 2 jars (made as a test) which I will still use on my sprained leg and knee. I've been using a poultice mix until I could make the salve. This will be much cleaning and easier to use but now I know how I'll make my next batch. Thanks heaps for all the detailed instructions. I'll be saving your video for future reference 😊
I have used comfrey poultices before but never tried the salves because it always seemed the comfrey properties would be too diluted to be very effective. But your recipe I will certainly try. Thanks for the recipe.
Hello, I appreciate the clarity in your instructions. I have just started growing comfry and cant wait to try this recipe. Thank you for this recipe. God bless
I line my seive with cheese cloth.
Too bad I live in Canada. Would love some of your salve. Thanks for the instructions. I will try and make my own and have already shared the video with family and friends.
Oohh i just stumbled across this... obviously much later.😊 Wondering if you'd use honey. I have made many salves with honey and its been a great way to soothe skin.
I wish i wasnt 2 years late 😂 ill still give you all the buttons though. Im starting to make herbal medicines myself and would like to try this for my husbands back... i need to find some comfrey... whatever that is.
Dang. I'm 2 years late. If you started selling, I would like to buy one!
I'm so using your method!
Comfrey Salve yes please

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Lots of detail I appreciate you.
Question: What makes beeswax organic or not? The bees get their pollen from anywhere they want including non-organic flowers.
That is a very good question. Short answer is I really don't know. I just know when I purchased it that it was advertised as 'organic and when it arrived in the mail, the package claimed it to be 'organic' as well. I'm not sure how I would ever come to know either way. Cheers!
Your sense is correct: there's NO SUCH thing, actually 😮 There's not a way to verify "organic" honey or wax. Just buy it from small, American producers 👍
Thank you for posting this video. I have been wanting to make comphery salve. I also grow both these plants. You gave me the courage to finally go for it.
Great thanks for your recipes. Looks great. I will try it,
Great video!👍💜💙💜💙
Just found your channel while looking for a use for our comfrey epidemic, here, just north of Stonehenge, in southern England.
Love your style.
Thanks for the lesson.
Thank you, It's the perfect time of year for me to make this. You're AWESOME!
I strain my salve also. Great video.
Enjoyed your video & methodology immensely. Thankyou 😊 🇦🇺 xx
