The Holistic Herbalist

An ointment made with Comfrey leaves soaked in Almond oil for one month and then thickened with beeswax.

 

A powerful healer of lacerations, cuts, grazes and bruising. Clears septic spots in a couple of days.

 

It makes the perfect gardeners hand cream, smoothing the roughness, and healing bramble and rose scratches. Bruising from trapping fingers in the secateurs or loppers or digging in hard ground is considerably better by the next morning.

 

Backache and aching knees from stretched tendons respond well to being rubbed with the Comfrey ointment after a warm bath.
