Making Herbal Ointment

Harvested Comfrey in Basket

 Harvesting herbs on a glorious day is one of the most pleasant activities for a herbalist. Today was one of those days – blue skies with a few scattered clouds, cool breeze and lots of the most delightful birdsong. Above is my last harvest of comfrey leaves until Spring brings forth a burst of new growth packed full of the most remarkable healing properties.

And here is the fruit of my labour, the most wonderful comfrey ointment – organic and full of incredible healing properties and oh so very rewarding.

  • Hello….I make as part of my “healing herbs” range a comfrey cream which has been effective in pain relief and i also make a calendula & chamomile cream with great results. Its such a pleasure isn’t it to great creams that are helpful for people….I’m looking forward to (when i can gather up the pennies) to doing your herbal course so i can learn more! Most of what i know is through lots of reading, intuition and general love and passion for botanicals.

    Much love

  • Hello Karen :) It’s great to hear that you’re making your own herbal creams. Comfrey, calendula,and chamomile are three of my favourite herbs for ointments. It certainly is a great pleasure making herbal remedies, especially knowing they are going to help heal people and animals. I look forward to being your tutor whenever you can enroll in the course :) Much love to you too xx
