Starwest Botanicals Organic Comfrey Leaf Cut and Sifted, 1 Pound Bulk Bag (B003AYEHGG)

I am very happy with the amount & quality of this product! I am making my own salves and body butters! This comfrey is great for healing damaged skin & mixed with other healing flowers like calendula & then you put into a jar & add your preferred oil. I use a mixture of nourishing oils good for the skin. Then let them sit for 4-6 weeks, giving the jar a good shake every day or so. I keep mine in a cool dark place, as I was told by the makers of the oil mixture that I use, that this is a better way. I asked because I have read other instructions that say tha they put there mixture in a sunny window for the duration. This did not sound right to me, as many oils say "do not keep in direct light", as this will degrade the oil & reduce it's healing properties. So, I keep my mixture in a paper bag for the time period. Which ever way you choose, this is a great product in a resealable bag!

Had some compresses made in the freezer and then twisted my ankle pretty bad.Put the comfrey compress on for about 15 min before bed and woke the next morning feeling much better.Swelling was down and pain was much less.Comfrey is serious flower power for mending.Good product.Timely shipment.

Made oil infusion to have for knee pain ointment for my mom, great product.thank you

Just kidding! My daughter put her play horse up there in the picture, but this bag is GINORMOUS! I put a regular sized card up here for scale. It filled my 64oz Ball mason jar, and a good amount of a gallon bag. I kept the label with my jar, because my mom thinks since I make healing things, that everything is edible and should be good for you to eat. IT'S NOT! I laminated the original label that says "TOPICAL ONLY" to keep with it on the shelf (wow it on the lid too, just in case). I can't wait to get started on this batch! Came to me sealed and undamaged. Get some!

Tomorrow I'll be 8 weeks out from surgery to repair a broken fibula and displaced talus. I used:Dr. Christopher's Complete Tissue and Bone Syrup and OintmentSolomon's SealComfrey teaStandard Process Calcifood and Ostrophenin addition to eating lots of vegetables, some fruit and good protein.In essence, I gave my body everything I could think of to heal as quickly as possible. I'm in my mid 40's, so I was concerned about healing time and outcome. I plan to keep using this ankle for many years!Of course, my surgeon was an important part of this equation.I'm now boot free, back in normal shoes, have almost full range of motion and have even been back on skates (gently and cautiously). I have only to rebuild some muscle and with some diligent work I expect that to happen quickly and I'll be back to living life at full tilt.The ankle is still stiff in the mornings and when it swells, but I find it swells less than I expected. It's also still tight at the end of the range of motion, but I think a little more time and continuing my PT and supplementation will resolve that. BTW, I did most of my PT on my own so far. I'm still going to PT, but I decided not to wait for appointments when my body is ready to make progress right now.

Good packaging for shipping - not Super thick, but will be transfering to glass anyway

I don't think I realized that Comfrey should never be ingested before purchasing this. Therefore I've only opened the bag to take a whiff, and that's about it so far. I do regret purchasing it without this knowledge before being prepared to use it in a recipe. However this herb has a lot of good qualities regardless...So here is some accurate and important info for you guys:Do not take Comfrey by mouth due to it's pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can cause lung disease, cancer, and liver damage. It's best used topically on unbroken skin for periods less than 10 days. Also, avoid using Comfrey if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.Comfrey features an impressive cocktail of skin-healing compounds including allantoin, tannins, rosmarinic acid, saponins, calcium, potassium, and vitamins A, B, and C. It's leaves and stems are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and age-defying when used in skincare.Comfrey was a secret beauty ingredient used by ancient civilizations for it's skin-healing, anti-aging, and youth-promoting effects.Comfrey moisturizes, renews and rejuvenates skin, encourages skin cell turnover, fights wrinkles, brightens, protects from bacteria, inflammation, and redness, nourishes skin layers, and protects skin from UV damage.Comfrey is usually found in beauty products like scrubs, masks, night creams, and blemish busters.Medicinally, Comfrey treats back pain, osteoarthritis, sprains, bruises, wounds, sore throat, joint pain, chest pain, and swelling/inflammation.You can use this herb to make an oil, ointment, salve, poultice, compress, facial scrub, or anti-aging cream.So there are many benefits to Comfrey, and it's a good weapon for your DIY skincare arsenal. It may also work really well when combined with herbs like Arnica and Calendula for using as a salve for bruises, and muscle and joint pain, and inflammation. Both of them are known for those uses, and the combination could be efficient in helping people with Fibromyalgia and CFS, arthritis and back pain.If you get this Comfrey, remember, it's a pretty large amount if you're just starting out. So although the price may be good, herbs don't stay fresh forever, so just consider that. Good luck!
