What do we collect from comfrey and when:
We collect the whole comfrey, especially the roots. The harvest takes place during the entire vegetative dormancy, i.e. from late autumn to early spring. The roots are fragile, there will always be something left in the soil, so do not be afraid of the idea that the comfrey will be destroyed forever. New comfrey will grow from the fragments of the roots. Clean the dirt from the roots and cut them into small pieces and let them dry. We cut them fresh, after drying they harden and we can no longer cut them.
Preparing tincture of comfrey: Pour the pieces of root into a glass bottle with diluted alcohol and store in a dark place. Stir occasionally. After some time, we see that the active ingredients are released into the solution. The tincture is ready. The color of the tincture must be dark brown.

Preparation of comfrey ointment:
We know several ways to prepare comfrey ointment, depending on the ointment base used. We can prepare the ointment from beeswax, olive oil and comfrey extract. Instead of beeswax, you can use white wax candles, and instead of olive oil (for example, sunflower), any vegetable oil. Add a certain amount of beeswax to the container. Carefully melt the wax over the fire and carefully pour the wax into 2 to 2.5 volumes of hot oil and mix everything. Then add a small amount of warm comfrey extract and mix everything well again. Pour the liquid into jars and let it solidify.
When preparing an ointment or tincture of comfrey, we must have certain experience and skills. Without them, we will not be successful.
