Pioneer Woman at Heart

Remember the herbal oil I was heating in the sun for a plantain/comfrey salve? Well, it's done, and I melted beeswax with it and wa-la!  Homemade "Neosporin."  I washed a few lip balm containers, and some recycled baby food jars to store it in.

This was my first time to actually use comfrey for anything.  You could call this a "pile to file" recipe too.  The first time I planted it (live plant vs. seed), it died.  This year I planted organic/non-gmo seeds and was successful.  This year however, I am making comfrey poultices to put in my freezer. First, I grind the leaves in my food processor (worked better than my blender) with a touch of water.  Most recipes I found said to add flour to make the "paste."  I also read that chia seeds works well too.
