In these bitter cold days I reach for the comfrey. This New England winter has been especially brutal – temps below zero and snow storm after snow storm. So understandably this translates into dry air and thus dry, parched skin. It makes me happy to know, however, that the abundance of my comfrey plants from the summer is still with me, at least in it’s oil-infused, salve-soothing form. It’s a happy green oil, soothing and deeply healing for dry skin.

Here’s a picture of it’s pretty blue, spiral-growing flowers:

And of the last batch of comfrey salve that I concocted from fresh green infused oil:

I like to add Carrot Seed and Lavender essential oils to increase the healing properties of the oil for the skin.

Thank you, Comfrey, for carrying me through the winter, waiting to see your blooms once more….
