What kind of salve? And when will it be available for purchase?

Haha, I'll sell you this one!

It is stinging nettle and peppermint.

Nice! I’m waiting on my comfrey plant to re-re-establish itself so I can make some comfrey salve lol

My first comfrey plant is coming up. Pretty excited.

Love making comfrey salve

I’ve got a coworker who is just starting with this. Any advice or recipes? He’s planning on using coconut oil as a base…

I use coconut oil with some tallow with some and freeze dried comfrey leaves. I get my beeswax locally and also add some vitamin E

Thanks

Awesome! What are the measurements/ratios you use?

Uhhh 😂 I have a mini crock pot that I use so I just fill it and let the oil melt and then stuff it with leaves 😂 I don’t really have it down to an exact amount. The beeswax I add some shavings and then fill a tin and pop it in the fridge to make sure it sets and go from there

Nice. I’m hearing there’s a method with ethanol also…

It’s a really amazing plant. We use it in our compost and feed the leaves to the animals as well

What type of oil?

Extra Me In High School Oil

I guess that response didn't make sense. Supposed to be:

Extra Me In High School Olive Oil
