Comfrey(knitbone)
Hi,
I thought I would let you know about our experiences with comfrey.We grow
comfrey for our own use(very easy to grow) Pick + - half a pound of comfrey
leaves and chop them up fine.Take 1litre of Pure petroleum
jelly(Vaseline),mix the two up and put it in a pot, and leave in the warmer
draw overnight,(it must not boil).In the morning strain the contents into
jars(with sealed lids),Leave it to set.
We use this for all cuts,saddlesores,greasy heel,scars excetra.
It works wonderfully!
Regards
Rob And Kathy
PS I even use it on chapped hands.
