About this one
Dried comfrey leaf is macerated in organic olive oil at a ratio of one part leaf to seven parts oil, using the alcohol-intermediary method taught by Master Herbalist Kami McBride. The jar rests away from light for six weeks. What comes out is opaque, almost black-green, and shelf-stable in a way a quick warm infusion never is.
In European folk practice comfrey leaf was applied to bruises, sprains and weather-cracked hands — the reason it is sometimes called knitbone. In a modern cosmetic context the honest description is narrower: it is an emollient oil for dry, rough, tight skin.
