Traditionally used to support healthy skin and soothe minor skin irritations. Comfrey and Calendula are both known for their wound soothing and anti-scarring properties. Apply topically as desired to soothe wounds, scars, dryness, eczema, psorisis and so on.

Therapeutic Uses

Comfrey supports the healing process of wounds, bruises, cuts, sprains, broken bones, tendon injuries, swelling and more. The salve is useful for cracked cuticles, cracked skin, heels, recent surgical incisions, scars and wounds, although it is not recommended to apply comfrey to open wounds.

Comfrey “has been used for generations to aid in the healing of injuries. Not only does it contain important minerals needed in the healing process, but it also contains allantoin, a substance that stimulates cell growth. Comfrey is primarily used externally in compresses, poultices and salves. It has been used internally, but most herbalists no longer use it this way because of concerns about hepatic toxicity.” - The Modern Herbal Dispensatory

How to Use Comfrey to Help Heal Broken Bones by Remedy Grove
“Traditionally comfrey was referred to as knit-bone and was used as a poultice to encourage healing of broken bones and wounds.”

Comfrey- Nature's Band-Aid by Sandra Nwankwo

Our family used a 1oz jar and made a "wound" salve for soothing wounds and such. Essential oils can easily be added. Here's our favorite formula:

Wound Salve
1. Heat the 1oz jar with a heating pad (jar is upright).
2. Once the salve is liquid, add a few drops of essential oils.
3. For a 2% dilution, we added 10 drops Lavender and 10 drops Helichrysum. If using the tiny pipette that comes with the 2mL sample bottles, you would use 30 drops each, as 3 drops from that tiny pipette is about equal to 1 drop from the euro-dropper bottle.

You may not want to add the oil to your whole container. For just a quick need, you may find it much easier to add the essential oil with each application, as the salve doesn't need to be heated to accomplish the task. One to two drops per teaspoon would be about 1% dilution.

Tip: While a wound is healing, avoid exposure to sunlight! When a wound or surgical incision is exposed to sunlight while healing, the pigmentation may heal darker than the rest of the skin.

Testimony
1. My 15-year-old daughter was cooking an egg in the microwave, and it exploded in her face. She had 1st 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Her nose and left cheek were the most severe. She is very blessed it did not blind her - God really protected her. I initially used Lavender, coconut oil and aloe vera, and then we added raw honey to the treatment and rotated these every hour. We also used your Comfrey/Calendula salve and have continued to use it. The doctor prescribed a silver ointment, but we wanted to avoid that. He also recommended a plastic surgeon with the possibility of a skin graft. When we saw the plastic surgeon, he was amazed at how well it was already healing. Two days later her face looked amazing! Her plastic surgeon was shocked. He was very skeptical of what were were using on it, but he cannot argue with the results! It does not look like she will need a skin graft or any further medical treatment! Praise God! UPDATE: Her face has no scars at all. I am so thankful to God for His mercy and for leading us to your site! Thanks again, Robin

2. The Comfrey/Calendula Salve feels wonderful on a burn. We used it when my son got a severe rope burn a couple years ago. It's my go to with Lavender for first aid. - Sheri

3. I wanted to let you know the Helichrysum Blend and the Comfrey/Calendula Salve have worked wonders for my scar after hip surgery. I still have a scar, but the top of it is hardly there and the bulk of the scar in the middle is decreasing. So needless to say, I ordered more and I may have to have the other hip done so I will be using this kind of "forever." I use a few drops with the salve and just love it. Thank you for your help. - Caryl

4. The Comfrey/Calendula salve has improved my daughters extreme eczema so much so, she only has a breakout once every few months. Whereas before, she was covered in red, scaly skin all over, all the time. Love love love Hopewell! - Stacey

5. This salve listed above works awesome on burns. I know a man who used it after he burned his hands last year. Within days his hands hardly showed where he had been burned. - Sheri

6. I had a large, hairy mole on my face just below my cheekbone (slightly larger than a 1/2 dollar coin). I had it surgerically removed and applied the Comfrey/Calendula salve to it as soon as the doctor removed the stitches. I gently massaged it several times daily and avoided the sun like you'd avoid the plague (thank you Linda for mentioning that in your note above!). Now a year later, one has to look closely for any sign of a scar. It's quite amazing considering the size of the mole that was removed! - Leigh

7. We love the salve. There is nothing better on sore skin and wounds. - Lana

8. 1. The Calendula salve is amazing. My husband had a rash, we put some Calendula Salve on it before he went to bed, and it was gone when he woke up. My husband is a natural skeptic, and he was pleasantly shocked. It also soothed one of my kids' hives. It didn't take it away, but the salve really helped decrease the itching. - Mella

Safety
Do not use comfrey for topical treatment of deep cuts or puncture wounds. It may cause the wound to close at the top before it heals underneath, increasing the risk of abscess/infection.
