Always using comfrey for bruises, but there are parts in the Netherlands where comfrey refuses to grow so this tip is a great completion!!

My friend Val, has a lovely old stand of it that probably was started by a bird dropping seeds, but I started saplings in my home gardens two years ago. The previous post explains how to identify it in the wild and I am going to be posting on how to grow it from seed and give source links for where to purchase seedlings if you choose:) thanks for visiting! xx<br />Pat, I put the eo in half and left half alone. Maybe I will get bruised it two places and can try both at the same time and compare results!! lol!xxComfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-716899837619680892012-01-18T18:11:29.846-06:002012-01-18T18:11:29.846-06:00Great Post Leslie!

I love all your tutorials but I am not familar with Elder. Did you buy this or find it in your yard? Just started making salves and I would love to try this one, comfrey was the first I made last year.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864957619866055174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-25803276784489695272012-01-18T14:50:34.255-06:002012-01-18T14:50:34.255-06:00That was very, very interesting!
