Faqs
Q: Why is comfrey listed for external use only?
A: Comfrey naturally contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which is why it is typically reserved for short, external
applications.
Q: What is the easiest way to strain an infused oil well?
A: Use muslin or a fine filter and allow extra time for the oil to drip through, as leaf powders can hold liquid.
Q: Does the powder make a smoother paste than cut leaf?
A: Yes. Powder mixes into an even, spreadable paste more easily than cut leaf.
