 Comfrey has been used for centuries to accelerate healing for all manner

of skin conditions. This recipe incorporates green tea and chamomile for

amplified anti-inflammatory, soothing, and regenerative benefits. You can

use this Healing Comfrey Salve as a hand and body butter or as an

YIELDS: 8 ounces

⁄ cup beeswax

⁄ cup Fresh Comfrey Oil

⁄ cup Green Tea–Infused Oil

2 vitamin E capsules

12 drops chamomile essential oil


What you will need: double boiler, measuring cups, rubber spatula,

jars with lids to hold 8 ounces of balm

1. To Make: Start the double boiler on medium heat. Once it reaches a boil

reduce heat to simmer. Place the beeswax in the top of the double boiler and

cover. Simmer until melted, stirring occasionally. To preserve the beneficial

nutrients, do not overheat. Remove from heat, take the top pan off the

double boiler, and cool 5–10 minutes. Add the Fresh Comfrey Oil and

Green Tea–Infused Oil to the melted beeswax and stir. Pierce the vitamin E

capsules and squeeze the liquid out into the melted oil, discarding the gel

cooled mixture off the sides and back into the melted oils. If the mixture

hardens too much before you can pour it, gently melt it again in the double

boiler. Pour into your jars and let stand undisturbed for 4 hours or overnight

before use.

2. To Store: Label and store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.

Use within a year.

3. To Use: Simply remove a small amount from the jar and melt between your

elbows, and feet. Take advantage of the natural healing properties and apply

to bruises, superficial burns, diaper rash, blisters, cuts, and more. Do not

use on open wounds. Reapply often for best results.
