Here is my comfrey poultice. Applied it to some cuts that I got on my leg while doing some woodland care.

I jammed my finger playing kickball a couple months ago and it still smarts, so I figured I'd try a comfrey poultice!

A made poultices of primarily comfrey but with ginger, thyme, and arborvitae as antiseptics. I’m storing them two ways — frozen and also dehydrated.

blended a bunch of Comfrey
tried to use as little water as possible with my blender. The bender started to blend the Comfrey when I added about 1 cup of water.
followed a recipe from one of the videos, so I added some flower to the comfrey, which also was about a cup.
I will be trying other ways, because I found this was to wet.
