Comfrey Healing Poultice Recipe
Comfrey is amazing for speeding healing. So much so that you should not use it on deep wounds or wounds that may have debris inside. Comfrey is also called boneset or knit bone due to its ability to help in bone healing. You do not want to use this on a fracture that has not been set correctly. I’m sharing a great recipe for Comfrey Healing Poultice with you today. Read to the very end for storage tips to have on hand for a year. 

Comfrey Healing Poultice 
Ingredients 
  • 2 cups fresh comfrey leaves and small stems, roughly chopped
  • About 1/4 cup water
1. Place the leaves in a small food processor or blender.
2. Turn on the machine and slowly drizzle in about ¼ cup of water. You want the leaves to form a thick mixture without being too runny.
3. Once it is well blended, use a spatula to scrape it into a small bowl.
If you are going to use it immediately then you can spread the mixture thickly over the affected area and then wrap with a clean gauze or bandage or an old t-shirt. Change this every 1 to 3 hours.

You can also freeze this for year-round use. There’s a couple of ways to do that. The first is to simply freeze it in ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop out the cubes and store in a freezer-safe bag and be sure to label them with the contents and date. Or, the paste can be simply frozen in a freezer-safe bag; for best results, use a vacuum pack sealer. Again, be sure to label it well. I recommend using it within a year.
You can use this same method for preparing a poultice with the roots.

My greatest desire is to help you become a Happy & Healthy Home-Maker!

 
Hey Y'all,
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here, I'm Deb, Debbie or Deborah Raylene (if I'm in trouble LOL). This is where I'll be sharing with you, all my doings here at
Deb's Sweet Country Home
No matter what the season is, there is always something going on here at home. I come from a ranching family and always loved the homesteading lifestyle. Maybe I'm just channeling my inner Grandma Walton or Ma Ingalls.

 "Use it up ~ Wear it out ~ Make it do ~ or Do Without" 

is one of my mantras. It's a lifestyle that I love. Now that I live in town, I'm still doing my best to live up to the principles of homemaking that the strong women of my family taught me. I feel it's important to share with you, how things were done in the old days, before there is no one left that remembers.

I'll be sharing about gardening, canning and food preservation. Stocking up the food pantry for winter or heaven forbid, in case of emergency whether it's a natural disaster or some man made one, like my hubby and I recently went through. Foraging (my hubby calls it pulling weeds LOL) for the plants to make all of my natural herbal body care products and medicinal remedies. And all the benefits of using them.

I'm afraid that we will soon lose the valuable knowledge our pioneer ancestors passed down to us in the form of folk remedy recipes. It is a important part of our heritage! Being a Home-Maker is something to be proud of, it's a whole skillset like no other. If you are looking for a place to learn how to be more self sufficient and self sustaining, you found it. I hope that I'm helpful to you, just like all my Grandmas, my Mom, Sisters & Aunts have been for me.

Make yourself at home and have a look around, but most of all, Thank You for stopping by and come back soon.
