Plantain Healing Salve ~ Homemade "Neosporin"
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.

Comfrey Poultice ~ Tidbits
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.
