The recipe for the comfrey tincture of comfrey:
Put 100 grams of comfrey root in 700 ml of strong brandy or alcohol into the bottle and lay horizontally that ‘it must be aged’ in a dark place for 14 days.
Shake it every third day.
After 14 days, strain and keep it in a dark glass bottle in a cool place.
Lubricate the affected area with this tincture, three times a day.
Homeopaths claim that there is no person that has not felt the benefits of the tincture.
* Pure alcohol instead of brandy leaves the tincture odorless. Comfrey with brandy has a very unpleasant smell. This tincture is very sticky.

Can I make a tincture in the same way just using fresh comfrey leaves?
100 grams comfrey leaves with 700 grams vodka? Or can I fill a jar with comfrey leaves and then pour vodka until I cover it?
Thank you.

Hi Helen,
I have four pint size jars I filled with fresh comfrey leaves and covered them with 80% proof vodka, it’s been six weeks and for the life of me I cannot find the recipe I used. I know you can, and I remember it said to store the comfrey tincture in dark glass bottles in a cool space. But I am curious to see if anyone comments, I want to be sure I am doing this correctly.
Good luck!
Stephanie
