In reply to Karen. I've never grown it inside with a grow light. You can also separate the roots of a thriving group of plants then plant that.

In reply to Kami McBride. Do you grow with seeds, and could you do it inside with a grow lamp?

This is Great!
How long should you keep the oil when using multiple times for soaking & compress? I seen you mentioned 3x’s a Day but not sure if we’re discarding after each use or not?

When I say herbal oil. I mean herbal infused oil, where you infuse the actual plant in a carrier oil.

Hi Marilyn,
This takes hours, in fact an entire course, that is why i created my course, Handcrafted Healing Herbal Oils to teach people how to make the most effective shelf stable oils including comfrey. COmfrey is one of the oils that people have trouble with, so i have an entire module on it… https://healingherbaloils.com/enroll-now

Can you tell us all how to make our own comfrey oil? I have a beautiful, large comfrey plant in my back yard and have been wondering what to do with it. It would be a great help to know how to make comfrey oil at home and have it for those emergencies.
Thank you.

I know internal usage is frowned upon by fda – but my mom used it when she fractured her wrist (for a short term- a few weeks – tea, once a day) the doctor was confused when he saw her at her following appointment – said there was no good reason why it should’ve healed so fast! Caveat – make sure it’s set before taking it or it will heal crooked.

When you say “oil” do you mean an infused oil or an extract? I’d love to be able to make my own.

Hi Linda,
Great you are having success with your comfrey oil.
I can’t make recommendations like this through the internet as far as internal use of herbs and also, there are lots of sources that talk about only drinking comfrey tea for a short amount of time.

I made comfrey oil with dried comfrey from mountain rose herbs, i also grew a great comfrey plant and dried that
as well I made a big batch of comfrey oil using your method. I use the oil on my itchy back, i get scratches on back from somewhere, the oil heals them i use it as a body moisturizer because i know it helps soreness–i go to the gym a lot–however i have been nursing an arthritic knee, same knee also has torn cartalidge. I oil my knees with comfrey a lot. I wonder if it helps. anyway i love it. I also make tea and drink it. I wonder if i drink the tea more often, and with stronger steeps, will this help themuscles, ligament, in the knee?
