Comfrey Leaf Herbal Infusion is my next article on how to make herbal infusions. My other herbal infusion articles are about Nettle Leaf and Oat Straw and their nutritional benefits.

I have always been interested in herbs to improve my health and well being. My resources for herbal information have been from articles, my friends and Susun Weed, a well known herbalist. Our Saugerties, NY house happens to be down the road from Susun where we often see her and her herbal students.

About 8 months ago I read about Susun Weed's herbal infusions. Soon I discovered how simple they are to make and how nutritionally potent. The timing was right. I was ready to make and incorporate herbal infusions into my daily health practice.

Susun Weed explains in her book that drinking herbal teas does not provide enough nourishment for our bodies simply because of the small amount of herbs in tea. Herbal infusions are different. You use large amounts of an herb brewed for several hours which provides lots of nourishment per cup.

Making Herbal Infusions

Making herbal infusions begins by using one herb at a time. You need 1 cup (1 ounce) of dried comfrey leaf, a 1 quart glass jar with a metal lid, 1 quart of boiling water, a strainer and a wooden spoon.

Making herbal infusions begins with placing the 1 cup of dried herb in a quart jar which is then filled to the top with boiling water.

Screw the lid on tightly and let it brew for 4 hours. Sometimes I make my herbal infusions before going to bed and let it steep overnight.

The next step in making herbal infusions is to strain it well. The mushy herbs I place in the yard waste bucket. Then I rinse the glass jar and pour the liquid herbal infusion back in the jar after pouring myself a cup to drink.

Don't Mix the Herbs

The rest I chill in the refrigerator to be consumed within 36 hours. Drinking 2-4 cups of herbal infusion a day is recommended by Susun Weed.

I alternate comfrey leaf infusion with nettle leaf and oat straw throughout the week, one herb at a time, each herb providing different types of nourishment for my body.

Healing Properties of Comfrey Leaf

There are numerous benefits, high nutrition and chemical compounds found in comfrey such as:

vitamins A, B12, B complex, C
protein, calcium, potassium
phoshorus, magnesium, sulphur
iron, copper, zinc
selenium and germanian
soothing and anti-inflamatory
anti-bacterial and anti-fungal
Slowly I have let go of taking supplements and I am allowing the comfrey leaf herbal infusion as well as oat straw and nettle leaf to give my body all the healing properties that these herbs contain. Using herbs for personal well being is powerful way to honor my body as well as Goddess Gaia who creates them.

Intuitive Readings Seattle - Reiki Healing Seattle - Meditation Classes Seattle

For more than 28 years I have been helping many people from all walks of life and across the world, including India, China and England. Some clients prefer to come see me in person for an Intuitive Reading. However, the majority of my clients call me for phone sessions.

Intuition is unlimited as God is unlimited so it doesn't matter whether you are in the same room with me or in Hong Kong! My intention is the same - to serve as a channel of clarity and healing to assist you in all areas of your life. Doing this work makes me truly happy and I blessed to be able to help people and do what I love.

When you set up an Intuitive Reading in Seattle or a phone session with me, it's best to write down your questions ahead of time. This helps focus your intention on what it you want guidance for in your life.

At the beginning of your Intuitive Reading, I go deep into a meditative state and ask Spirit to allow me to be a clear and pure channel of love, healing and guidance for you. The answer to each question flows through me in words and pictures and the information received is spiritual in nature, yet practical for every day life.

I encourage all of you to:

Live your true potential
Feel your own wholeness
Experience inner peace and joy
Express your creativity
Be who you really are- perfectly human and perfectly divine
