I dropped a concrete stepping stone on my bare big toe. I thought for sure is was broken. I wrapped a Comfrey leaf around my toe for a couple hours. The initial pain was super intense, (swore like a sailor) Next morning there was hardly any pain. Not broken. Comfrey is an amazing plant. God is so good.
Did you plant your comfrey or is it wild ? I wish I could find some !
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 I planted it. I got a start from a friend. Unfortunately, the deer came around and ate all the young leaves. I have since moved it to the upstairs deck. It is struggling to come back. Weather has been cold and freezing nights. I will get a new start in the spring if needed.
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 I found Russian Comfrey on Amazon, tiny root but in two months it's harvest time
I would like to give some feedback. Good quality genuine olive oil is not cheap, and it can go rancid once opened and not in a cool place. I also find it unpleasant on the skin. My IP has a sous vide setting which is likely to be MUCH more accurate than the slow cook setting, if you have it on your IP. I would recommend an organic, 100% coconut based MCT oil, which goes into the skin almost immediately. If you want to make it go deeply into the skin, prepare a liniment [alcohol/Ever Clear with the same herb and/or same herb and other herbs, depending on what the application is] and when you go to use the oil, use 2 droppers of the infused oil and two droppers of the herbal tincture/liniment and you will have the most effective topical herbal prep you could want. Seriously, it works.
My chickens ate my left overs after following your instructions. I just put out a little bit at a time. Don't forget that heating comfrey dispels the pa's.
Good idea for small batches… I use the turkey oven bags, in a crockpot. The turkey bag contains the dry herb and coconut oil (my preferred lipid) and seal the bag. Add water to the crockpot, and check frequently, to make sure it does not boil dry. Cover with lid, set to low and leave it for your preferred time…I usually let it go for 12 hours or so.
Thanks for taking the time to make this so far along in your twin pregnancy. My last month I never left my house much less felt like making oil. I hope your babies are healthy these days and congratulations. Twins are not easy but they are so much fun. Mine are 11 YO BG. It gets better and better!
New hear, a few things to help you out as a mom. Well the baggy skin on your arms or neck when you get older can be taken care of with reparation H it’s good for that. The stretch marks you talk😮 Make sure to use a casserole oil or fish oil with your comfy in the oil for stretch marks
I don’t have twins but when I was pregnant with my first baby I put just plain olive oil on my belly every morning when I got out of the shower before drying off. I didn’t get one stretch mark and I was huge. The doctor commented that I had no stretchmarks, I told him what I was doing and he said that didn’t make a difference. Well the next two I didn’t do it and I got stretch marks and they were smaller babies !
This was long before I knew about herbal infusions, so for those who don’t have time or resources to do this, just try the oil while your skin is still wet from the shower.
Blessings
You could rub that cheesecloth pouch onto your skin before you discard it, so as to use every possible drop of the oil. After all, you’ve put a lot of effort into the process. 😉
That’s very true!
This was a fantastic video. Thanks so much for the tips.
Thanks!
This is a great video! Thanks.😀
I don't have yogurt setting. I'm going to try bring the water up to temp in the slowcooker, then leaving the lid off or tilted and cooking on high. I might have to put a spoon in to prop the lid open just the right amount. Or I might try the same method stove top, using the keep-warm setting on high and see if that's hot enough. I don't have enough leaves yet to try a batch.
Great video ! I tried a mini-crock but found my ‘warm’ setting went all the way up to 186 degrees! 😵 Don’t trust the dials.. 😔 Still trying to find a method that’ll keep the water at 100 degrees & I leave it for 24 hrs. Thanks! 💕
One way to avoid the moisture in the bath is to replace the water with mineral oil.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing
Is it your experience that this quick method makes infused oils equal in strength to the cold method taking 3 to 6 weeks?
Such a helpful video!!
Thanks we will have even more herb making videos coming soon!
Wonder if their would be a noticable differance in the strength. Maybe add the specialty oils at the end after the olive oil infuses to save$$
Bless you thank you
Thanks!
What if u close the jar so no humidity go in?
Great video. What were the small bottles of oil that you used?
Informative, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I enjoyed your video and am inspired to pull my yogurt maker out of the donation box;0)
Hehe, I just came in from the yard, and am readied with my comfrey leaves. Tomorrow's the day!
Cheers and abundance to you and your family. Are the twins your first, hehe, and second? xo
They are actually 3 and 4 for Tasha
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Conor Weston Instablaster :)
@Misael Zahir i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Misael Zahir It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
Thanks
And how how long to let it cool off to take out that jar
Room temperature
We let it get to room temperature before we do anything with it. Depends on the time of year and your location on how long that can take.
thank you
Can you give the title of the books
That spouty cup comes with a steam cleaner to get the water in that little hole.
Does the instant pot work without lid on. I’ve never used it without closing the lid
Yes it does based on the model and mode you are using
Saute mode works without the lid. :-)
is the warm method worse than the cold method? Can I use unrefined oils for both methods? Does anyone know? I heard is a waste of oil to use unrefined because it loses its health properties by warming it or putting it in the sun.
Neither method is better or worse, it just depends on what you need. The warm method is great if you need an oil quickly, you just have to make sure the temperature stays low. The “cold” method takes longer (4-6 weeks), but even then it’s suggested to put it outside in a warm, shaded spot.
As for which oils to use, I always opt for the closest to its original form - unrefined coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, etc. The refining process can use some pretty gnarly chemicals, with the goal of removing odor, color, etc. Unrefined oils retain their health properties if the heat is kept low. High heat or extended light exposure is what will make your oils go rancid.
Thank you very much for this tutorial🙏🙏🙏 Do you think it's good to use comfrey infused oil to make soap? Thank you in advance!
I've never made soap, so I'm not exactly sure whether the active constituents like allantoin would survive the soap-making process. However, since soap is designed to be applied then quickly washed off, I don't think it would be on your skin long enough to absorb the full benefits. I would recommend it as an oil, lotion, or salve that can soak in.
@@scruffyarms Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁
Can you let me know where to buy the book specific please the first one.t hanks

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Would this method work to make palo santo essential oil?
No. This process is called maceration. The process for making an essential oil is entirely different.
❤❤❤
rub the oily cheesecloth on your belly before throwing away.
If you allow the plant to release naturally with time, 6-8 weeks you will have a far superior product
the child is a year old now, round about, right? hows life?
Do you have to fill the jar with the herbs in order for the oil to be infused? I started meajing infused oil and filled the jar with little bit of herbs enough to cover the bottom and mostly oil. Not sure if it makes a difference?
Making*
You don't have to, but it all depends on what you're going for. The more herbs you have in the jar, the stronger the final oil will be.
For something to have medicinal strength, you usually want the jar as full as you can (keeping it below the surface of the oil). If you were making a culinary oil like olive oil infused with chilis, you may not want it to be super strong.
@@scruffyarms I am making hair products with this infused oil. I will try this again I have been letting it sit for a while. But next time I will definitely put more herbs in. Thank you for replying
@@alishasurratt1139 No worries, let us know how it goes!
Thanks for sharing! How do you prevent condensation droplets forming in your glass jars of oil after infusing when storing?
a little too unscripted and long, but good information. thanks
Thanks it was an early video we learn and grow:)
So agree with you re the studies of comfrey 😢 Such a wonderful amazing herb ❤️🪴 As a midwife, use it on so many post natal perineums for healing
Thank you we use it a lot with all our kiddos.
Is comfrey safe for babies ?
