HANDCRAFTED IN SMALL BATCHES
using traditional folk methods of extracting medicinal properties from botanicals
Benefits of Comfrey
Comfrey has a long tradition as a herbal remedy. It has a wide range of applications. In a topical balm it helps lower inflammation, thanks to the supportive compounds of Allantoin and Rosmarinic acid whose medicinal actions promote cell growth and strong anti-inflammatory properties.
Healing Comfrey Balm can help soothe:
Inflammation
Sprains
Joint & muscle pain
Insect bites
Skin irritations
Dry skin
100% Pure Essential Oils
As well as the healing properties of comfrey my handcrafted balm contains several healing essential oils:
Frankincense
Especially known as a powerful healing oil, Frankincense Oil encourages minor wounds and skin infections to heal quickly. It's anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties help to ease pain and discomfort associated with inflammation, sore joints & muscles, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Lavender
Naturally occurring antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make Lavender Oil incredibly beneficial for skin. Lavender Essential Oil has also shown benefits in improving other skin complaints such as eczema, psoriasis, scarring and wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in Lavender Oil can provide a pain-relieving and numbing effect.
Helichrysum
When diluted and applied topically, Helichrysum Essential Oil can increase circulation whilst easing pain caused by sprains, sore muscles, and arthritic joints. An anti-inflammatory with powerful restorative properties, Helichrysum Essential Oil properties are known to reduce blemishes and redness, heal cuts and wounds, and eliminate the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and age spots.
Tea Tree
The antiseptic power of Tea Tree Oil makes it an excellent choice for first aid, helping to cleanse minor cuts, burns, and insect bites. Tea Tree Oil naturally fights bacteria and fungi, making it a powerful choice for skin care. It also soothes skin irritation, reducing redness, when diluted and applied topically. It has also been seen to help reduce symptoms of acne, eczema, chickenpox and athlete’s foot.
Healing Comfrey Balm
This healing comfrey balm really is the bee's knees. I have been carefully developing and testing my recipe over the last few years. Good things do take time. The traditional cold infusion method l use is an 8 week extraction process. The leaf and the root are used to make it super potent. For external applications, the root is often preferred for conditions such as osteoarthritis and acute joint pain due to its higher concentration of active compounds. My product is 79% organic, and contains the equivalent of 28% Comfrey in each 60g pot - That's a lot of comfrey!
The essential oil component is a 5% dilution rate being for acute treatment, which is for short term use only. Use small amounts of cream for no longer than 10 consecutive days or a maximum of 4–6 weeks per year. A little goes a long way, generally half the size of a pea is sufficient, depending on the area being treated.
Best stored in a cool dry area, not left in a hot environment as waxes could melt. Shelf life is 18months.
