Whole Plant Comfrey Salve
From root to leaf tip, this salve carries the full spirit of comfrey — a green offering gathered in its wholeness, slow-infused in olive oil to draw out every drop of its ancient wisdom. Rich in nature’s soothing compounds, this all-purpose balm is a trusted ally for scrapes, dryness, bruises, and weary skin. Comfrey has been used traditionally to offer relief to healing bones.
Beeswax seals in the goodness, while a breath of lavender and a whisper of tea tree lend their gentle strength and protection. No fillers. No shortcuts. Just the full-bodied magic of the plant, honored in its entirety — wild, wise, and whole.
