People that have never tired this DO IT!! It has many uses!
My dear friend would make this every year and send it to Africa ❤she always made enough for friends and family. She passed last year and a few of us plan on continuing her efforts ❤
Girl, you are not learning how to be a herbalist, you were born to do it! Don't forget the days we watched you at your little house, with the sunroom full of tinctures. You just didn't have the physical space to fulfill those desires (and you had two babies at home). You now have all the tools; I can't wait to see you thrive! Looking forward to next years' herbal garden.
I pinched a nerve and i used the comfrey leaves as a poultice and it helped to remove the inflammation. Really helped a lot. Iam going to make the salve this plant truly does work
Thank you! ❤ I took a 6 month herbalism course last year and have been making so many things from the garden for loved ones/coworkers (gifts not $). It’s a blessing to have this knowledge and share so freely, as was always my dream. 😊
Jillie Girl, just seeing you and listening to you is comforting and healing! 🥰 Learning the plant and garden stuff is just (sugar free) frosting on top!! We all appreciate you and your sharing, SO much!! Keep up the great work at Whispering Willow!!! Sending LOVE, PRAYERS, and HUGS!!! 🥰🙏🤗 Susan, Napoleon MO
Thank you so much 😊
I had a seriously painful knee injury that I had for 4+ months. Decided to put a comfrey poultice on it for 24 hours. After that it healed within a couple weeks. One day I realized the pain was gone.
God bless you for this video. I am also studying botany and holistic medicine to help with my pain and health condition. Last night I saw a video on the willow tree to help with pain (just like your channel name), then I was inspired to use cayane pepper in my curry after watching the first video of the morning, then that lead me in my side bar to a cayane pepper balm video, next leading me here, this was my plan last before I even searched comfrey, but wait this is not my plan it's his The Godincidences are real Jesus is alive! (Psalm 23:1-2 Kjv) (Psalm 147:3 Kjv)
I have not grown comfrey yet, but I need to. I have made Dandelion Salve and Plaintain Salve so far.
Thank you so much for teaching me how to make comfrey salve.
I love this 🥰🥰
Blessings! I just found your channel and so appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge. I have wanted to participate in an herbal class so that our family has a way of naturally treating/healing ourselves as our ancestors did. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I’m excited to be learning from you💚
Always excited to learn and grow with ya'll :)
Thank you friend
You are so delightful to watch. Thank you for the diy healing salve video. Looking forward to whatever to have for us next time. Blessings....
Love these types of videos!! ❤
More to come!
Thank you for sharing this!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the recipe. I have comfrey growing in my garden and did not know how to get the essence of it for healing. 💖🤩🌸
Was just looking into the how to’s for comfrey yesterday!!! Thanks!!!
Happy to help!
Thank you for sharing your video and may God bless you.
You are so welcome!
Love the Herbal Academy especially the Herbarium! Thanks for sharing/teaching us, Jill! Great info!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your great teaching video and advice 🙏🙏
You are very welcome
Quick question can I use comfrey powder instead and what would you suggest for measurements for powder substituting the leaf? Thank you🙏☺️
We have much well establish comfrey and planned for using. So now we start. At first I thought this was going to be click bait but it is not. The to the point informations and so on and staying on topic etc is why I will try a subscription. Keep up the good plant and such knowledge and skills that look like many will be blessed. Good healing information leads to good health.
Oh I’m definitely signing up as soon as I can! I finally found something that I really feel in my heart that I’m good at! I’ve never been able to just get something and remember what I’ve learned but herbs and gardening just comes so natural to me I can hardly believe it myself sometimes times lol I don’t know why it took me so long to realize this but I’m really glad I did!! Thank you so much!!❤
You got this!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing. I am fascinated by herbal medicine. I can’t wait to try some of your herbal products in the future-G
Wow. I normally study through Wild Rose, might look into Herbal Academy just for those books.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe I had knee surgery last month and still having some pain but am trying to wean myself off traditional pain meds and go more herbal remedies. I m drinking some willow bark tea occasionally but to have the salve would help. Gonna give it a try. 😊
Turmeric tea would also help.
I Have gone through some of their courses and the Chestnut School of Herbal medicine too. I have found with trying to do a heat extracted oil method that crock pots were way too hot for the herbs. Even my lowest setting on my stove top was too hot also. You really should set a thermometer in it to watch and make sure it doesn't get over 110 degrees. The only way I found that had a precise consistent temp was using a programmable digital yogurt maker!
How do you think one of those larger dehydrators would work if you took all the trays out? Those can be set to pretty precise temps.
@@andrewhammill6148 try it and find out! I've used my dehydrator to proof bread dough before but never to do herbal infused oil. I would gently bring the oil and herbs up to temp on the stove and then pour it into a canning jar or a glass mixing bowl. Make sure to put a loose fitting lid so nothing can blow in there.
Thanks for the tips!
I have used my mixer md s it cools bled bout every ten minutes at first nd then fter it cools moreevry few minutes. Mkes. Great buttter soft salve.
Great video! Do you know how long it's good for?
Hello Jill, what is the difference in benefits from Comfrey to Calendula flower?
Love your video and information. One of your comments was seeing and hearing you is the draw the content is secondary. I concur. Thanks so for your time. I s are you planning to have the wax and ?? In you merch? Or, suggestions where and what type to buy? Take care and see you next time! 💚💚💙💙😎
Thank you for sharing, also where do you get your tin container for your salved please and thank you in advance?
Amazon
Is using dried comfrey leaves the secret to keep it from smelling bad?
❤❤
Jill is there a good substitute for the shea butter for this recipe? Shea allergy.
Questions...how long will this salve last on the shelf, approximately? I know different storage practices can be a factor. I have a freeze dryer, can i use freeze dried comfry? Only leaves? Thanks for your insight and knowledge!
Hi there can I use Castro oil?
Does the compared have to be dried?
Can I add some spearmint infused oil to the comfrey oil? Would it benefit?
Can i mix comfrey, calendula and arinica together? And can it be put on minor cuts and wounds? I know comfrey is debatable on open wounds
Oh, I have to make this. My comfrey flowered, I wonder if that is okay to use? I am going out now to harvest, wash and put in the dehydrator. I have bees wax pellets somewhere but no shea but plenty of time 😂 thank you Jill xxx
It is best to use comfrey before it flowers
I heard from another herbalist that you should leave the lid off the slow cooker because you don’t want to get condensation in the oil…not sure if this is true.
What's the reason for all the other oils
Can this be done with fresh comfrey? Or die it have to be dried?
I can't find comfy plants or seeds. How can I find some??
What oil is that? Can I use castor on oil
Any ideas where to buy comfrey that yr not just getting shredded whose knows what. I made some, but ordered off Amazon. Not sure if it really was cuz who really knows. I gave RA, I wouldnt say it helped. So an actual person growing it to buy would be awesome to see if there is a difference. Cooking oil is ok? I alway thought any skincare regimen you need to use a carrier oil, one that will soak in the best. Grapeseed oil is rated #1 to soak in fast.
Jill, is it necessary to dry the comfrey first or can I infuse it directly out of the garden? Thanks!
I came here to ask the same question!
Taking a herbal academy course and would love people to study with. Anyone taking the Herbal Formulations course and want to connect?
Being a nurse I can understanding how that could be confusing.
How much oil
I want some, but have no comfrey
Can you post the exact recipe? I tried to deduce it from the video. I used 2 cups of infused oil, 1 Oz of Shea butter and 1 Oz of beeswax. Is it supposed to be so soft?
Question: i make a strong pain salve with cannabis. Can i combine comfry oil to my salve? I have a tendon tear in my ankle. Would love to avoid surgery
Absolutely! That sounds like a great formula and wouldn’t counteract each other
Hello Jill and Nathan, do you sell the seeds for the comfrey plant?
You can get starts for comfrey from Renewed Homestead or Perma Pastures Farm. Both are RUclips channels.
I have a 16yr old granddaughter that would love to learn this stuff. Where do you think she should start since she is still in high school? She has property she can grow herbs.
How much of each beeswax and shea butter for this recipe? Thank you!!!
Hi Jill, love your videos ❤, but a little concerned about comfrey.. was looking to plant it in the garden this year bc I’ve heard so many great things, however, I’ve seen it also can be quite controversial. It contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which are cancer-causing agents. Wondering if you’ve learned much about this in your course? I’ve also read it’s toxic to ingest and toxins could seep in through the skin? Any ideas if this could be soaked up into plants when used as a fertiliser? Any thoughts on this would be super helpful! Thanks so much!
I haven't heard anything about the controversy. Is that about the leaves or what? I know comfrey tea has been a staple for more years than I am old! I might check on line.
@@tericamcginnis5848 From what I’ve read online and can understand, it seems as though the US has recognised it is toxic enough where it shouldn’t be eaten and has stopped allowing it in ingestible products, but are still using it in salves. I did find a source that says it can still make its way into your body through the skin, but the govt has decided its benefits outweigh its negatives. 🤷🏻♀️ ..Something happened to pop up when I was googling comfrey, so I tried to search a bit deeper. Was hoping someone else may know better than I.
comfrey should not be ingested unless you’re working with a certified naturopath. But using it externally is perfectly fine.
Hi Jill,
I had a massive comfrey plant and was using leaves and blooms medicinally and as a compost kick starter. This year sh is 1/10 her size from last year and she hasn’t bloomed. Any ideas what I should do to help her thrive. I’m in NJ zone 7a/b. TIA😊
They love compost and not too much heat/sun, nor complete shade…
@@spoolsandbobbins thanks!
Can you use fresh leaves rather than dried?
Yes you can
Can you use fresh or must the herbs be dried?
They should be dried when infusing in oil. You can just hang them up for a few days
Do they leaves need to be dried to do this or can it be done with fresh?
Must be dried to avoid mold and spoilage
Is that dried comfrey or fresh?
Can you post the exact measurements of this recipe? I know it’s 2 cups of oil. But you also mentioned other things you added in.
Yes, It said you provide the recipe but I cannot find it
Where did you find Shea butter?
I found it here locally but you can find it on Amazon
Can dry comfrey be made into a balm...??
Yes it can
Thank you so much..I have to buy a huge pack of Comfrey of dry Comfrwy. Now I make Comfrey tea, so I was hoping it would do me good, and was hoping salve...Herbs we were created for our healing, I love my creator...
HI JILL do the herbs need to be dry
Yes
What is it good for?
Around the 10 minute mark she answers this, if you're like me, you get excited and ask before the video is over 😅
I have a hard time finding comfrey to grow. I want to do medicinal products for my family. My goal is to put herbs and essential oils from young living used together for any ailment that comes along my family's path. Even those who I run into I can help others too. God is great.
You can get starts for comfrey from Renewed Homestead or Perma Pastures Farm. Both are RUclips channels.
I got comfrey starts from azure standard. ❤
I second Azure Standard!
Plant the root. I got my roots from eBay. They take off like crazy.
Nathan cameo....lol
😂
I’ve been looking high and low for comfrey plant
I’ve not been able to find it
You can get starts for comfrey from Renewed Homestead or Perma Pastures Farm. Both are RUclips channels.
I bought mine from Perma Pastures Farm last year and they grew awesome.
I bought my Russian Bocking 14 from a seller on Ebay. This variety doesnt spread.
Does anyone know where you can buy comfrey plants or seeds?
Stivers homestead sells comfrey seeds.

I bought mine from Perma pastures Farm on You Tube.

You might want to look into earning from The Healing Harvest Homestead 4:04 School of Botanical Arts and Sciences if you want to learn more. (Not an affiliate!)
Doesn’t look like a cups worth at all though if leaves. Loooks like way more ? I’m confused. You did it in a 250 ml jug. Which is more than a 1 cup worth ?!
In most of your videos I can barely hear you
