Comfrey tincture

To make this tincture you need alcohol (about 40%) and comfrey (symphytum officinale) roots. Roots are dug in the spring or autumn. Wash the roots, chop them into small pieces and put in a glass jar (don't press it). Pour alcohol over, so that it covers the roots. Close the jar and leave it in the sun or near the heat source for 14 days. Shake it from time to time. After 14 days strain it.

Comfrey tincture is used as a compress for external and internal wounds and injuries of all kinds, contusions, bone fractures, hematoma.
It is also good for rheumatism and swollen joints. In that case rub the tincture on the painful area.
