Here is the link to our friend Sofia's website for comfrey. desertrosesisters.com A few things that are suggested by researchers- - Don't use on broken skin, - Use no more than 10 days a time, - Don't use more than 4-6 weeks total in a year. - Don't take internally.

I've been using comfrey over 40 years and know it to be most beneficial for "many" physiological problems. I am an herbalist who has used and continue to heal naturally whenever possible, as opposed to pharmaceuticals.

In parts of the UK we also know comfrey as knitbone.

Thanks so much for this video & for sharing your recipe! I've just started learning about Comfrey & how wonderful it is for chickens (leaves) AND for the soil. I guess it has quite a taproot & brings up lots of nitrogen for other nearby plants to benefit from. God's creation is AMAZING!

I was pounding a ground rod in the other day and missed the rod, slamming the post pounder onto my big toe. I don't believe it was broken, but it sure was smashed! I put on a comfrey salve (made from a recipe just like this) and even though the expected horrific bruise came out, by the second day most of the pain was gone and the bruising is going away fast.

I was in an auto accident a couple of years ago breaking both my legs and my dominant arm. I had pain while visiting my daughter in my legs and as I was in another state pain meds/ insurance/ MD orders were major hindrance to say the least! My daughter had the comfrey plants in backyard! I harvested the leaves, put them in a bag, beat them and once pulverized I grabbed the saran wrap and put the poultice on my legs and wrapped my leg covering the poultice with the saran wrap. Worked so well I brought 3 plants back to my state and this year I am pleased to say the comfrey is growing well. This year I plan on making salve! The poultice wrap works wonders better than any OTC med that is for sure! Should have listened to those farmers earlier!

My husband had swelled knee and behind the knee. He had surgery on the other knee for torn meniscus. I used powederd comfrey with water as a poultice 3 days later all cured. Never hurt again 🤗

I suffered for nine months on and off crutches with a sprained knee. Four doctors, including a specialist, could not help me. Comfrey cream cured my knee in 48 hours!

I love hearing this. I have a comfrey patch among blueberries in my backyard. I, too m,ake a salve and sold it in a coffee shop for a while. People that use it swear by it and use it often. I also make it for a few massage therapists who use it on injuries in their practices. Others think: maybe I need some VapoRub or a Tylenol. Unsurprisingly, you Can't convince everyone to reconsider pharma !

As a wildlife tech, I'm exposed to alot of hazards. I've been using comfrey for everything from bug bites, scrapes, poison ivy blisters, and sun burns. It even healed a super stubborn cartilage piercing that refused to heal on its own (mostly coz i kept snagging it on things accidentally!) I swear on this stuff, it's amazing

I fell down a flight of stairs and shattered my ankle and tibia 13 screws, a pin and a bar were needed to put me back together.One of my friends who had recently immigrated from Mexico brought me a bag of comfrey and told me how to use it. My surgeon was impressed with how fast I was healing. I told him what I had used and he called it an old wives tale. Silly man.

This is the only video I've found that actually uses the comfrey powder in the salve, instead of infused oil. I always wonder how much of the insoluble (in oil) goodness of the comfrey is left out by straining the oil, and why the whole dried leaf powder is not used in other recipes. I will be making this one! Thank you.

What a sweet young women. I grow comfrey for my chickens...no wonder they are so happy and healthy!

I have a huge comfrey plant in my garden which I mostly use for making plant food. So good to know I can use it for pain too because I have Elhers Danlos syndrome and Fybromyalgia but won't take the meds offered. Natural and nourishing is preferred and now found! I deeply appreciate your true kindness in freely sharing this recipe with the world.. Thank you X a trillion! 🤗💞🙏🏼

It's Italian name (consolida maggiore) it's quite eloquent : from the Late Latin "consolidate" ("consolidating, strengthening") for its virtues of healing wounds and fractures.

Myself and a dear friend both use comfrey salve daily ,I no longer take morphine for my back pain and I have a stock pile of comfrey salve for us both .I highly recommend this to anyone who is in pain

You hit another homerun with this video! Great Job Thanks

You can't know how badly I need to try this for my back, hips, and ankle. How can I get some? Bless you for doing this! "Every herb and every seed for man's use...." Well done.

Excellent video. Great job Sophia! I have used comfrey before very successfully God is so gracious to porovide us with His pharmacy.

thank you for this. I and many others appreciate what y'all do. sending love yalls way

Thank you for sharing this! I’m excited to try this for my back pain

Drying some leaves now in the dehydrator to hopefully make some salve. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.

Just pick some comfrey today, I'm gonna make this salve in a few days. Looks very easy

Yes I have and will continue to use the salve. What a difference.

Love this format, showing both the plant outdoor and preparation in the lab/kitchen, as well as all the great information and in such a concise package. I will be diving into the rest of the channel now, subscribed!

Years ago, I regularly used comfrey. Thank you for this video reminding me of this miracle herb! It’s every bit as good as you state in this video! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing your recipe! We have lots of comfrey growing wild in Russia, I'll share your recipe with my family out there!

I am so glad I fell upon this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and everything

I had hip surgery 5 years ago to repair tore cartilage. I have been taking kratom ever since to help mitigate the pain. Though it works well it has other potential side effects that I’m not keen on. I am just about out and was not going to buy more but the fear of the pain had me worried I’d just go back to it. The pain and the week of hardcore withdrawals. Your video came with impeccable timing that can only go to show the Lord is with us. Thank you for the information and hope. All glory goes to God.

Thank you for this info. I always enjoy learning about natural ways of healing ourselves. Going to order some comfrey plants.

Thank you for this info! I just ordered some and am excited to try it on some residual pain from frozen shoulders and some other areas. Ordered two so I can gift one! God bless 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful information! I just ordered your salve and the book you recommended.

I heard about this a long time ago. I'm glad to come across your channel. I know a lot of people that could use this.

I use fresh comfrey on my dog's skin ,when she has wounds on her skin that don't heal very well....it's amazing....it works very well!!!

My sister made a comfrey drink with garlic & tomato juice for my husband after a large soda machine fell on his ribs at work. He added tobasco for flavor. He drank 6oz twice a day and after 3 - 4 days he was back working pain free. Amazing stuff.

Comfrey, the knit-bone wonder. I almost forgot about this. I must get some. Thank you for posting this message.

I have been buying the salves from your friends shop...THEY WORK! Better than I could put into words. Thank you so much for this information. I have passed on her shop's information to others who could benefit from these products. Such a blessing and a priceless help. ❤❤❤

My husband has been really having trouble controlling his body pain from arthritis incurred through a 21 year career in the army. I've started my first kitchen/medicinal garden this year, and also foraging. Comfrey has found itself growing in my herb garden between the basil and rosemary lol. I've been looking for it during my foraging, but no luck. Thank you fir this recipe. I will be making it as soon as I get a fully grown plant to harvest from.

Thank you. I will use this for my arthritis. I am planting this in the spring.

Not complicated recipe. Blessed by this. GOD bless you as well, esp. so when having Bible study.

How precious. God bless you young lady and sir. Not are you communicating from experience but you share truth . ❤😇

I just started soaking some comfrey leave about half-hour ago 😊 It might be too late for this year but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I used this on a dog's suspicious lump near her toes...we covered with salve and a bandage..we checked two days later and it had started to dissolve the Lump..we repeated again and next time we checked it had nearly disappeared..after a week there was no sign of what ended up being some sort of tumour 😊

I always watch your videos until the end! It's always so uplifting

Thank you so much for sharing the blessing and I made up some of the salve and sold it for a nominal fee at our church health fair.

Wow wow wow!! God’s medicine indeed!! Can’t wait to make some. Hoping this one guy at the Farmers market will have the plant!! Thank you for sharing!! I get so excited about this kind of stuff!!!!🤪🙏

Yes. In days past comfrey was called bone knit.

Thank you VERY MUCH for this video & for Sofia's recipe for the salve. I'm gaining so much knowledge from your videos. And I'm especially grateful for your faith & belief in God. We can do nothing of worth without Him. So sad that too many people haven't yet learned that! I'm extremely thankful for the wisdom you share with us! God bless!

Great info, thank you 👍 Love the healing stories!

Thank you so much this great video. I placed this salve order for my dad. I am excited for him to give it a try.

Good video👍🏻 there's a good reason it's called knit bone,Ive used comfrey in a poultice for my wife's broken big toe,healed within 4weeks,hospital was amazed.🕊️

So glad to see your video. So encouraging!

Really great you gave out the recipe with no, but you have to buy this. Good honest people. Thanks.

Cool! I’ve heard of comfrey since I started learning about country living. The salve looks so pretty. We usually use arnica but lately both my parents have been complaining about shoulder pain so maybe this might help. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I might buy some of that salve and look for seeds so I can grow my own.

Comfrey propagation: Years ago I had a comfrey plant for medicinal purposes. My dad ran over it with a roto-tiller to clear that land area. I was so mad. Until Next year I saw that it turned into around a dozen comfrey plants. 😀 It's called root division. ;-)

I had ordered a muscle gel from a company that had comfrey in it and it helped me a lot. Thank you for this video. I will make it now.

I have my own comfrey plants and make comfrey balm and oil it has helped with with my joint problems. I gave a jar to my nurse and she said it's great and her husband uses it too.

Okay now I know what to do about my varicose veins. Thankyou!😊

Thanks for sharing about this herb. I'd heard negative things about it, but you've convinced me to give it a try. Thanks, also, for a glimpse of your sweet family. Much happiness to you all.

My first time visiting your page, and fall in love with the simplicity of your remedies but very well effective. I already shopped for this comfrey cream for my mother who lives in Puerto Rico. She. Always complaints about her painful hips. She's going to be 91 years old this coming Saturday. Thank you for doing such a great channel and helping those interested in natural healing. ❤🙏❤

Great information!! Thank you! My love from Greece.

The V.A. has me taking Tramadol for my maladies.I will be looking in depth for this!

Most excellent! You've blessed me!!

Fantastic thank you so much for sharing this blessing im gonna use this for my arthritic hands bless you and your family

OUTSTANDING. Thank you

Thank you for showing how to make this, I have comfrey growing in my garden. It’s also good when you combine it with nettles to make a liquid fertiliser.

I've been making a comfrey/plantain salve for many years and although our 6 children are all grown up, it's still called "Mom's magic salve." Now, I do it a little differently. I gather roughly half and half comfrey and plantain leaves, chop them up fine in a food processor, cover the chopped leaves with olive oil and I put them on low heat in the oven until the water is evaporated. I have a formula for how much beeswax to use per cup of prepared oil. I know it cured my neighbor's sun poisoning rash, it is wonderful for small wounds and diaper rash. It helps things heal quickly. Another young friend used it to help heal a broken bone she had years ago. I am intrigued by the idea of drying the leaves and making it the way you do. Thank you for this! Oh, and I also make, and freeze, comfrey poultices to use for sprains and bruises. The salve is great for bruises, too.

Just found you guys. What a refreshing channel you have. Lovely family…

Years ago I was working as a stable hand and had a one ton draft horse step on my foot - it took a couple of minutes to move him off - I limped home and put some mashed frozen comfrey on the purple swelling foot the rest of the day (we kept frozen comfrey mush in the freezer). The next day, the swelling was down, almost no bruising, and I was back at work - the stable owner was astonished as he expected me to be out for weeks. Hooray for comfrey. I've never made salve with the powder - I'll have to try it. My usual salve has comfrey, cleavers, calendula.

I used it as a poultice for a sprained ankle and it healed quicker than before. I’m going to have to try it on my shoulder which has been slowly getting better since I fell on ice. My plants that I moved last fall are just peeking through the ground.

Thanks Bro. Chad, I just called and ordered me some wonderfulproductson their website. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry in Jesus name Amen. Blessings 🙏

Thank you so much for your free helpI really need this

I usea a Comfrey Extact using MCT oil and my Magic Butter Machine set at 135 degrees for 8 hours. I used this for years and the Arthritis and knee pain after Arthroscopic surgery 18 years ago is nearly gone when used after my shower in the morning! I have since made the extract and Bee’s wax into a salve that much easier to use! Good information!

Not sure why I hadn't subscribed sooner, I appreciate what you do and looking forward to seeing you channel grow. Maybe livestock?

Comfrey is amazing! I use it for more things than I can list. Comfrey in my garden is only outnumbered by garlic, and yarrow. The only reason for that is the comfrey plants just take more space. I have over a hundred plants. Next year I could possible have 500 to 700 from root division.

Been using comfrey cream for years my grandma used to get it at the he health food store, works so so well

Thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge! I love my comfrey plants. I must try your salve recipe! I’ve only infused it in oil.

Wow I have also made comfrey salve since 1991 but I never did it into a powder but now I’m gonna try ur recipe. I dry the leaves and cover in olive oil for a few months. Then I do the beeswax w the oil to make the salve. Everyone I give it to or sell it to loves it. So happy to see others use it! Knitbone is a country name for it.

Back in 1978 we were living on a mountain six miles from the nearest school bus stop, so were home teaching our kids except for twice a week when we took them down because we felt it was important that they get some ‘socialization.’ Picked them up from school one Thursday and the six year old had a scrape on her wrist, didn’t think anything of it (this was before we knew that schools didn’t do anything with cuts or scrapes). Touched her on Sunday and she screamed, looked at her wrist and she had a red line going from the scrape to a sack under her arm. Didn’t have a phone so went down the hill to a neighbor who had one, called the local ‘hippy doctor’ (only doc in the area). He said to put comfrey on it and bring her in in the morning. I had no idea what comfrey was, but the neighbor grew it for his rabbits and gave me several leaves. Not knowing what else to do with it I put a leaf over the scrape and wrapped gauze around it. Checked it an hour later and the leaf was black and wilted. Put on another one. When I put her to bed, I put the rest on. Checked in the morning, the red line and sack under her arm was completely gone. The comfrey had drawn out all of the poison. Have grown comfrey ever since, won’t be without it. Mom had arthritis really bad in her back and neck. After we discovered comfrey, she started drinking one cup of tea every day for her arthritis (didn’t cure it but she could sure tell the difference in the pain level if she didn’t take it). Took about a week before she started noticing a difference. Took it every day for 30 years before she died of breast cancer at 84 years old, never had a problem with her liver. I think the key is moderation (as in all things but people need to decide what’s best for them and not take chances if they aren’t comfortable with it). I make a sun tea with dried comfrey and mint (sweetens the drink) and will drink a cup once or twice a month when I notice arthritis stiffening up my fingers.

My Dad made a poluce on his friends gang green foot kept it wrapped for couple of days ganggreen gone the doctor was amazed !

So excited to know how to use my comfrey. My friend has pain in her knees. So I’m going to make her some of this salve.

My Grandparents always grew Comfrey.. It was for tea and even the greens to mix with a salad.. The tea is very good!!! Grandma said it was good for tummy trouble and pain, swelling.. One of my "go to have" plants!!

I'm big at knowing what "weeds" are in my yard since I'm aware most plants labeled as "weeds" are actually amazing medicinal plants. I also make sure to grab medicinal plants when they hit clearance at my big box stores plant section since many don't know what they are for. I only plant multipurpose plants in my gardens. I had a crop of chickweed in my front yard this spring and gathered it all up and made a tincture which I used for a recent heat rash that I got thanks to our 100 degree weather here in Texas. I was browsing through the seed section and came across evening primrose and it dawned on me that, as a kid these were everywhere in the spring, but I haven't seen any in a couple of years. I'm also noticing dandelions are becoming scarce. People have weed and feeded these wonderfully beneficial pants out of their yards. I've managed to replant some in my medicinal garden which has improved my bee pollinator population, which has been null and void the past couple of years. It's so frustrating how people are decimating beneficial plants and animals that they den as nuisances instead of trying to educate themselves on them and preserve them. We are also seeing dragonflies migrating away from our lake and creeks into our yard, we use filtered water, which concerns me about our natural water supplies and how badly they are being polluted.

I made some comfrey salve using your directions. It isn't touching my back pain. Oh well, I am making this for friends and they seem to like it. :) Thank you for the demonstration. :)

Thank you for such detailed information. God Blessed

I bought twenty five seeds, theoretically, off of eBay a couple of years ago. Paid $3.25. taxed & shipped. Not sure how many I actually received since the shells on many of them were smashed. I planted eighteen, and managed to get five plants growing. I have them potted, since I'm hoping to move in a couple of years and will be taking them with me. When they go dormant, I put the pots in the cellar. A couple came out of dormancy early this year, shot straight up, then flopped over before I could get them safely outside. I've put the pots next to each other, and put the flopped over plants onto the other's pot. It's actually pretty comical, they are doing really well even though they're not growing entirely in their own pots. Next year I'll move them to the shed in February or March, then I can put them outside on days there is no inclement weather. That should prevent them from coming up to quick.

It’s nice to see a god loving family. Don’t see much anymore where I’m at. Thank you so much for sharing with us your knowledge on this amazing plant. I heard about it for garden tea but I did not know the amazing benefits that it brings to us! Stay amazing!

I’m sure this recipe will make a difference to the arthritis in my foot

This is an excellent video. Thank you so much for sharing!

We looked everywhere for comfry and could not find. One day we were at the garden centre at my wife's work and the lady said oh my husband has some in garden and she would get some. My wife is waiting for me to finish a bed to plant. Cant wait.

The power of comfrey: my Rottweiler was 5 years old and could not even get up anymore - I was told to use fresh comfrey leaves, parsley and honey and make a tea - I just blended everything together and added some milk for taste - did this 5 days in a row - after 1 day she could get up and day 2 she could walk, on day 3 she was running slowly again and continued to improve - 5 years later I had to put her down because she had cancer in her jaw

Wow!!! I'm impressed! I'm going to make some comfrey salve. We have a heap growing in the garden

Loved this thanks so much. I am now a subscriber of your channel. God bless you ❤

So I watched your video, went to your link, and ordered some. I’ve been using it for about a week now and have to say that I haven’t noticed much,if any, improvements in my hands and arms arthritis pain. I’ll check back in every seven to ten days and give a follow up.

Praise God comfrey root oil gave me back my ability to pray on my knees again, the pain was like electricity up my legs. The key is twice minimum daily use and now today 4 years later I only use it 2 to 3 times per week once a day... God is so very good caring for us out of His Pharmacia of Creation, amen 🙏🕊🍇

Great informative video! Something to keep in mind as we start our homestead.

Great Blessed Natural Care I have just ordered from a SDA member Will see if it works 🌅

Thank you for sharing, Health and Homestead! Thanks also to the commentors who mentioned their experiences and were also willing to help others! I made my first jar of salve today with the addition of a bit of dried dandelion leaf. Walking 8 hours a day on hard cement floors is hard on my feet. I can feel a reduction in pain after the first use! So, thankful for Billy & Michele @ permapasturesfarms and glad I bought some of their comfrey roots last spring. The plants went dormant in the fall and regrew bigger this spring than they were last year; inspite of the heavy snowfall winter in Minnesota, zone 4a-4b. Wasn't sure if they would make it, so glad they did!

I ordered some today. I hurt everywhere! I pray this helps.

Thanks! That's really easy to make.
