Make a comfrey leaf poultice - PEP BB medicine.sand.poultice.comfrey

 I used some of my stored comfrey the other day to make a poultice and apply it to a scrape on my side. I held it in place with a back brace.

I made some comfrey poultices for the freezer because my comfrey plant is (once again) bountiful!  The plant itself flopped over.  I think I have to divide it to get it back in control.

I harvested the good looking leaves and collected the other leaves & stems to use as mulch in the garden.  

When I harvest comfrey, I try to make as many poultices as needed for the year and I store them in the freezer. 2 people in my household regularly use them to help long-term deep tissue injuries. So I'll do 2 or 3 choppings during the growing season. Once I have good looking leaves, I chop them smaller and then blend them with some other ingredients.  This time I had solomon's seal root, so I added a bit of that before blending with some water.  Then I flatten the paste like a thick pie crust and freeze it.  Once frozen, I'll break it into smaller pieces and return to the freezer until they are needed.
