My midwife gave me a comfrey tea to use in the bath after having E and it helped everything heal quickly - so quickly that his umbilical cord stump healed immediately. I think of it as a fantastic healer. <br />E got the beeswax from a friend but you can also get it from a honey seller at the farm market or a craft store.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-24217160456881094752010-06-15T05:32:47.095-07:002010-06-15T05:32:47.095-07:00That looks awesome!That looks awesome!affectioknithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956694289800463441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-87488663640521534782010-06-15T04:29:26.969-07:002010-06-15T04:29:26.969-07:00Just stumbled on your blog and love it!

The next day my midwife arrived with a big bag of comfrey and suggested I bath the area in warm comfrey tea as many times a day as possible...within days the lump was gone. I have never used it medicinally since, but think tomorrow is the day to make some salve! Where does one buy beeswax?The Knitty Gritty Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890656094078973552noreply@blogger.com
