Fill a pint jar about ½ to ⅔rds full of dried comfrey leaf, then cover the plant material with your carrier oil of choice.
Let the oil infuse in a cool and dark place for 4-6 weeks (or longer).
Strain out the comfrey leaf before using in this recipe.
Comfrey Salve
Create a makeshift double boiler by putting a small bowl or a glass Pyrex measuring cup over a pot with about an inch of simmering water.
Put the comfrey oil and beeswax into the small bowl or Pyrex, and heat until the beeswax completely dissolves into the oil, stirring occasionally.
Add the shea butter and stir until it completely dissolves.
Carefully pour the mixture into small jars or tins and let sit until the salve sets up completely.
Notes
You can use a single carrier oil or a combination of oils. My favorite combination for making salves is equal parts of olive, coconut, and sweet almond oils.This recipe makes approximately 12 ounces of salve total, or six 2 ounce tins.
