Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 I will send to anyone as it can't be that much to just pop it into a mailer. I will post when I have some root for you guys and it should stay live for the 1-2 day mailing as I have seen it laying around after I pulled it up and it started itself. Just make sure you put it on an outlying area where you don;t care if it gets big and spreads some. You can also do as I do for my mint family and place a plastic container that is at least 10 inches with the bottom cut out down in the hole first and fill back up with soil to " contain " the roots. So I will have everybody send their addresses when it's time to send. Years ago tea was made from it but modern times facilitate that it is not safe for ingestion. I have personally seen it's healing effects and my husband who is involved in the medical field and WAS a doubting sings it's praises!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 oh Terry...I was going to e-mail you to see how your flooding was as Bob was out most of the night checking on flooded cellars and washed out roads. Our dry creek down out road was flowing over the road and the culvert has a 6 foot slush pipe! We also have a creek flowing through the middle of our horse barn. There is a LOT of snow still to melt and Bob said they are gearing up for more problems as it is suppose to be nice again today and then rain all day tomorrow. Our Road used to be called Hollow and we are protected from all sorts of abnormalities but when the water levels rise we are the natural route for the flooding down our road although where I am we stay high and dry! The lake will surely be in trouble again too I am sure. Deb Comfrey I too could help spread the wealth with comfrey, as I have a nice patch. If somehow Deb doesn’t have enough… Just let me know. I have been so busy lately with non-soap stuff as my 8 yr olds doe had triplets and another twins and I think we have finished our kidding season. Maybe later I will make a tally. Hope everyone is safely away from the flooding. We still have a lot of snow on the ground here.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 what are the growing needs of Comfrey anyway... sun... partial sun... shade? I've got it all here so I'm sure I can find the right place for it. also how about drainage? close to the mobile we're damp... actually our cement pad is covered in 2 in of water right now, but I hope to put a stop to that in a few days.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 It will be quite some time before the Comfrey is ready to separate-I will need to have it at least up and growing to get you some..and won't that warm spring weather be wonderful!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Deb I saw an article in the newspaper about comfrey about a week ago and I was going to mention it to you guys because I know I've seen you all talking about using it. I thought the newspaper said it was banned for skin products and internal products. I don't recall what all the skuttle-butt is about but I would be concerned that that once people hear or read about comfrey they would be skeptical about using it in soap if they see it listed on a label. M Re: Re: Tina Pickett yes, me too-nobody has heard from her-she does a lot of the same slaves as Ido and I had a question on my SJW infusion but it is coming along nicely nowas Becky from soapnuts answered my question on the amount of alcohol to addto it. I also did some digging on the use of Comfrey in my products andfound that the FDA has not banned it's use, but we now must apply a labelstating it should not be taken internally or used on open wounds. It alwaysseems like they get worried when something works better naturally than thepharmaceutical company's products huh :)Deb>>Our members maphttp://.homestead.com/locations.htmlOur Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Check out these great Molds!!http://soapwerks.com/martinworld.htmAll posts to this list are copyrighted by post author.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Thanks for sharing this wealth of info. I was given some comfrey last summer to grow in my little herb garden. It's great. I infuse it in olive oil for soap, lotions/creams and make a " tea " too. It's great for healing all sorts of skin problems! I just learned about it last year and a little of it's history. A great thing to have around! Rita wrote: > Was thinking about this yesterday after talking with a friend that is > having problems with a rash that will not go away.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Rita, Thank you for that valuable information!! A few years ago, I infused comfrey root, St.'s Wort, calendula, plantain, chickweed, mullein and goldenseal in olive oil and then made a salve. Added some tea tree and lavender and vit e at the end. this was a recipe I found in a book. As far as soap, I haven't ever made anything except melt and pour, but if I ever make homemade soaps, I'm going to try your ideas. Thank you again. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Thanks Rita, this may be the answer to my sensitive skin problem as well, sounds promising! Smiles and Sunshine Comfrey Was thinking about this yesterday after talking with a friend that is having problems with a rash that will not go away. I will be making her a soap and Lotion with Comfrey Root and Leaf in it to help her. Hope this is of help to Y'all. :-) Comfreys help for the skin is amazing. Allantoin is the active ingredient in Comfrey that speeds up cell regeneration, helps promote wound, rash healing and softens the skin as well due to helping it heal. There are other phytochemicals that are in the Root and Leaf of Comfrey that help with the skin as well, that is why I feel that this whole plant is best used and not just the isolated Allantoin. It is of great help to those with Eczema, Psoriases, any rash type condition, cuts, burns, sores, broken bones or sprains. Just make sure that if it is a wound that it is being used on, that the wound it completely clean as any thing left in the wound will heal into the skin. Comfrey Soap using just the root or a combo of the leaf and root is wonderful. It makes a very Dark Violet to a Black soap and sensitive skin really likes that soap. There are some variations that I have done as well adding other very finely powdered and sifted herbs. Calendula, Chamomile, Lavender, Rose Buds, Chickweed, Oatstraw and Marshmallow Root are just a few that can be used when making an herbal soap. I do recommend that a large part of Comfrey be used when making a Comfrey Soap or if making an Herbal Tea or Herbal Oil to use in Lotions, Creams, Ointments, Balms, etc. The soap is wonderful and can be made by using any soap formula that one would like to use. Say you are looking for a soap that has Comfrey in it but also need extra moisturizing for the soap because the skin is dry, then use a soap formula that is superfatted at around 8% or a bit higher. If you are looking for a soap that is good for oily skin, then you might want a soap that is around 5% or there about in superfatting. Do remember to powder the dried herbs, root, etc. and sift them before using them in the soap formula. The reason that I stress this is that herbs, root, grains, etc. that are left in the soap can be very scratchy to the skin and damage the dermis of the skin, so powdering and sifting is best. Also from the whole plant, herb, grain, etc. is best to use as well, not just isolated chemicals. Then when they are powdered if they are stored in glass out of strong light they hold their potency for a very long time. But if you have already powdered herbs and they are stored well, they will do fine. I have several that are still very good that are powdered from some 2+ years back, stored in glass jars and they are still strong and doing very well. For making a soap I use about 1 1/2 tsp. to 2 tsp. of powdered Comfrey Root and if I have Comfrey Leaf I might use that as well, per lb. of oils in a soap formula. So say you are making a 3 lb. oil batch of soap you can use either 4 1/2 tsp. or 2 Tbsp. for the formula and if you wish you can use more. You can soak the powdered Root and any other herbs in a bit of the water taken from the amount in the formula to get it to soften up and get the healing ingredients to start coming out, then add it to the soap. You can also put the powder in the oils and allow them to incorporate in the oils and then make the soap. You can do this with both water and oil for a strong amount of the healthful properties in the soap. This also helps soften the hard powder so it will incorporate into the soap better. I have even made a slurry with Comfrey Root and Marshmallow Root <---(it is high in mucilage and the skin loves it) for soaps and it is wonderful. And if one wishes to add more to the help for the skin, make an Olive Oil infusion of Comfrey Root and/or Leaf and other healing herbs like and use it as the Olive amount in your formula. There are many combos of herbs that can be used to enhance Comfrey in any product, those are just a few suggestions. Then there are the additions of Herbal Extracts that you can make yourself. I like to make these as I need them when I can and sometimes make ahead and freeze them in cubes for later use, in Distilled Water or even Aloe Juice. Your can leave the herbs in the liquid if you like, again making sure to powder and sift them and then simmer it gently till it is very strong. Or you can take the herbs out of the liquid and squeeze out as much liquid as you can and then simmer to concentrate the liquid, then freeze them in cubes. That way just a few cubes for each formula can be used and not take away to much of the water or water/milk that is to be used in the formula. These would have to be melted before adding to the mixture whether it is Soap, Lotions, Creams, etc. that have bases for water and/or Aloe Juice. And don't forget that Distilled Water or Aloe Juice Herbal Extracts and/or OIive Oil infusions can also be used in making your special Lip Balms, Body Butters, Lotion Bars, Lotions, Creams, etc. If you make the infusions really strong you will only need a small amount to add to the help they will be for the skin. Remember that you can use any formula you like for any product you wish to make, but don't add any synthetic additives that have no benefit for the skin but to give a fake feeling of softness. These synthetic items are used to make mass marketed products because they are really cheap and more money can be made off the products if it is made with cheap ingredients. If the skin needs repair, it needs Natural Oils, Vitamins, Proteins like Silk or Wheat, etc. in order to heal and healing takes time and it not magically done over night. Just some things for ya to think about when using Comfery and/or herbs in making your wonderful products.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Hi all, Comfrey is wonderful, very soothing and healing. HOWEVER, dont ever use it with a puncture wound. It heals so fast, it will trap infection and help abcesses to form under the healed skin.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Rita, if one is making an herbal soap, does the herb get added at trace so the lye does not damage the chemical properties of the herbs? I realize that if you superfat 8% then you’ve got 8% of oils that cannot be saponified due to insufficient lye. But unless one adds the herb at or after trace, how can one be certain that the beneficial properties of the herbs will survive the sap process?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 I think it may not matter since the soap stays on your skin for so little time, as opposed to a cream or lotion or balm that may have the herb infused in oils and meant to stay on the skin to have an herbal effect.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 I make a Comfrey Lotion (not salve) which sells very well. My olive oils are 3x infused, and I take fresh leaves and steep them in the water phase. I add a few drops of Tea Tree and it makes a lovely lotion. Only now, my poor Comfrey plant looks like a chicken with plucked tail feathers and only has about 3 leaves left. Best to make hay while the Comfrey flourishes in the summer months and dry the leaves for later use. Dunno, maybe I would rather powder the dry leaves for adding to my soap at trace?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Allantoin is the active ingredient > in Comfrey that speeds up cell regeneration, It is of great help to those > with Eczema, Psoriases, I would advise against using comfrey or any herb that promotes cell regeneration for psoriasis. the reason people get scabs and flaky patches when they suffer from psoriasis, is that the skin cells regenerate about 4 times faster than normal, so the last thing you want to do is use something that will exascerbate this. just thought i should point this out.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Good afternoon to all. I seldom post, usually because I'm always days, sometimes weeks behind in reading my e-mail, however, I felt that I had to respond to the current posts about comfrey. I am responding specifically to the following post: >>>Thanks for sharing this wealth of info. I was given some comfrey last summer to grow in my little herb garden. It's great. I infuse it in olive oil for soap, lotions/creams and make a " tea " too. It's great for healing all sorts of skin problems! I just learned about it last year and a little of it's history. A great thing to have around!>> and to its reference of making a tea. Comfrey causes severe liver problems when ingested. Comfrey may also be carcinogenic. You may read about it here: http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dspltr06.html I know several of you already know about the comfrey warnings, I merely wish to inform some of you which may be unaware that if you sell comfrey products they must bear a warning from the FDA: WARNING: External Use Only. Consuming this product can cause serious liver damage. This product contains comfrey. Comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which may cause serious illness or death. This product should not be taken orally, used as a suppository, or applied to broken skin. For further information contact the Food and Drug Administration: http//vm.cfsan.fda.gov And finally, if you do make comfrey products and plan to sell them, beware of making claims, as Enterprises received a warning letter on December 6, 2001. http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/12/chrisenterprises2.htm I don't wish to rain on anyone's parade. I have a comfrey plant, and I don't see a problem infusing it for personal use in a salve that will not be used in broken skin. However, I believe in making informed decisions. Type Comfrey Warning in google, you'll get lots of hits. If after researching carefully, you decide to go ahead with your project, then you've made an informed decision with which you can live.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 > Hi , > OK comfrey is used how, I should say not how for what is it good for? I will take some any way just because I like to grow all kinds of stuff and infuse all different oils. Are you giving the root away also? Let me know. > , Comfrey has allantoin and makes a great healing salve. I will discuss its benefits futher at the herb/week walk. Just a warning, you don't want a comfrey plant unless you have lots of space. It is a wonderful plant, but grows to about 5 feet and the leaves are huge. And if you try to get rid of it, any little piece of root left behind will produce a new plant. So, I finally got it all moved out to the berry patch and just let it go crazy. I infuse the leaves in the summer and dig the roots in the fall. If you want a plant, I can bring one and you can dig the roots in the fall. If you just want roots, I can send you some after the first frost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Susie, are you comming to dinner the night before? That would be a good time for something like that. I am sure that DebS and could tell you LOTS. I am sure that others on this list are Herb Savvy too. Not sure if will be there on Friday nite though. A few years ago we did have talk about wild herbs but certainly it can be another future demo thing. Or if there is some downtime during the gathering you could ask some questions.. Of course, it can ALWAYS be a discussion on the list 24/7. Shaye Re: Comfrey That would be real nice, maybe we can have a little chat on different herbs?Shaye, what do you think?
