I know- that green is amazing!
Try a salve with calendula.
Both herbs make amazing, potent oils, especially when made with the method I teach in Handcrafted Healing Herbal Oils

Perfect! Thank you. I am wanting to formulate something for more regular use so will skip this lovely plant. There’s just something about that green!

Yes, 30-45 days a year is the max one should use comfrey, and not for more than about 10 days in a row.
It’s amazing when used for flare-ups and acute care of a chronic condition and for the occasional bump or bruise.

You’re right- comfrey should only be used in the short term and not for more than about 30-45 days total per year.
It’s better for acute care of OA flare-ups

If you’re using it for something like chronic pain then you’d be over that. Is there anything to that maximum?

Recently I accidentally had boiling water pour on my leg. I immediately reached for the comfrey oil, and although the burn looked horrible and formed huge blisters it was never painful and has healed up very easily.

It’ll make 2-3 Tablespoons of salve
