8 oz. of dried comfrey leaves
1 pint of vegetable oil
1/2 sq. in. of beeswax
Place the comfrey and the vegetable oil in a double boiler and
simmer gently for 3 hours. Carefully monitor the temperature of the herbal oil to make certain it does not exceed 160 degrees. Comfrey contains allantoin and higher temperatures destroy it. After 3 hours, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. To 3 1/2 oz. of comfrey oil add 1/2 sq. in. of beeswax. Place the mixture in the double boiler and heat gently until the beeswax has melted. Pour the ointment into a dark colored jar. Store in a cool dark place. The ointment will keep for up to one year.

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

Sun Water:
Set a glass or crystal container of pure water outside just at dawn, in a
place where the sun rays will shine on it all day. At sunset, bottle and
cork the water. Keep in a very sunny place. Add to baths for energy,
sprinkle around the home to remove evil, anoint yourself to purify and so on
