Pain

[Guest guest]



Hey

I need something quick for pain. I think I am having some sinus issues, or there is at least an inflamed part in what seems to be my nasal cavity, on the inner part of my eye. My chiro seems to think it might be a migraine headache. Migraines would be new for me. Anything for temeporary relief while Iget my diet back in shape.

Thanks.

Turn jar every day.After steeping, place a strainer lined with a thin cloth over a bowl and pour in oil to filter out the comfrey.

Then for a great hand balm:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Balm

 

 

1 ounce plus 1 tablespoon jojoba oil2 ounces plus 1 tablespoon shea butter1 ounce beeswax3â„4 teaspoon lavender essential oil

 

Place all the balm ingredients (except lavender oil) in a large Pyrex measuring cup. Add 2 ounces of the Comfrey-Infused Olive Oil. Set the cup in a hot-water bath and stir until ingredients melt. Remove from heat and stir for a few minutes to cool, but not thicken. Pour into a wide-mouth jar, add the lavender oil, and quickly cap the jar with a tight-fitting lid to prevent oil from evaporating.Allow butter to cool overnight.
