My mums coming up to visit, with a broken rib. In some rather nice timing Ive been infusing comfrey leaf in oil to make up a salve, so i made up the first half so she can have some meet her when she arrives. I strained all the plant material out of the olive oil, grated up some beeswax and added that to the oil heating in a double boiler. The end result looks silky and should be pretty good for all her internal bruisings and breaks. Meanwhile my cat nomad relaxed...
As a footnote, next time I make salve Ill add something antiseptic to the brew, like lavendar oil. If a wound has infection in it, comfreys amazing properties can heal the cut, leaving the infection locked in beneath the surface. This generally doesnt apply for sprains and fractures, which is why i suggest 'using externally' when i offer someone comfrey salve.
