Hello all,
I have a questions about comfrey. As Amanda suggested, making a salve from infused comfrey root oil is most potent, but is there value in making a salve from both infused oils of the leaf and root? Or is this just redundant? Also, as roots are generally best harvested during dormancy, and leaf harvested before flower, is there still benefit to using both during the growing season if you need it for strains, sprains, etc.?
In observing my new comfrey patch over the last year, I do get 2-3 sessions of new leaf growth in a season, which is much to my delight and I intend to use the leaves more in my composting endeavors! Are the leaves ok to use as mulch around my other medicinal plants in the garden?
Thanks in advance, Benna!
