Live the Natural Way

Salves all begin with a few simple ingredients. So, let’s say for Comfrey Salve, we take a gallon jar, put in the dried comfrey leaf and fill it up with some kind of oil, like almond oil or olive oil.

Then we put the gallon jar in a big pot (12 or 16 qt.) of water, put it on the oven with the burner on low until the jar is hot to the touch and then let it set a month, preferably longer before we use it. Then we use a tincture press to press the oil of the herb and from there proceed to make the salve, which is basically just adding a few more ingredients.

We usually say making the salves and etc. isn’t that much different than making food in your kitchen, you’re just using different ingredients!
