Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Hi Soseneda, Do you have a web site to check out? I might be interested in your comfrey. Thanks, Margaret >Comfrey does great in salves. The basic formula is infuse your comfrey >in a base oil, then strain and add beeswax, pour into pots and let cool. > >It sounds like the salve she had might have had more than comfrey in it. >I make and anti-inflammatory and skin moisturizing salve with comfrey in >it called Super Skin. It is $4.00 for a 3 oz jar. > >If you just want to make her a salve of comfrey, then you can do it >yourself if you have some comfrey on hand (I carry that too, if you need >it; $0.75/oz for cut and sift leaves). > >Put about a half ounce of comfrey (use an ounce of fresh herb, and >bruise it first) into a cup of oil. Heat the oil with the herb in it. I >would use safflower, olive, or jojoba (for longest lasting). Heat the >oil to just under 115 degrees and hold it there for about twenty >minutes. Then put the herb and oil in a jar and seal it up tight and let >cool overnight. > >Next day strain the oil through cheesecloth and squeeze the left over >herb good and hard to get the last of the oil out of it. Heat the oil >back up, and add oh around 2-3 ounces of beeswax (carry that stuff too, >if ya want it; beads, white for $3.00/ounce, or pounds, yellow for >$12.00) and melt the beeswax down.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Margaret asked: " Do you have a web site to check out? I might be interested in your comfrey. " And Carol asked " What is your web site? " I don't have a website at this time. It is there, but it is defunct. Long story short, I wasn't making the money off of it to be paying $20/month for the shopping cart and hosting. I have pared my business down to selling off the last of my in stock herbs bagged for retail and selling my lotions, creams, salve, oils (not essential oils, magickal oils for anointing and dressing), and potions. Locally I still make custom mojo bags and do magick for people, I do some other magickal type services too, like building candles properly (for hoodoo), etc. So, if you would like something like I sell, just email me a list and I can tell you if I have it and what the price would be. And if I don't have it, I can usually recommend a good source.
