Back in my happy place in my skincare studio today.
I'm extracting oil from the comfrey plants we grew this summer.
One of the traditional names for comfrey was knitbone. This was because for centuries people believed it could help "knit" bones, wounds and tissues together. Traditional herbalists (disclaimer: I am not one) used the plant externally for things like broken bones, fracture, bruises, sprains, strains and swollen joints.
I use comfrey oil in Monique's Magnesium Cream. This cream also contains magnesium, organic castor oil, organic shea butter, eucalyptus, peppermint, camphor and other beautiful botanicals. It is a cream - not an oily balm.
If you are in the market for an easily absorbed magnesium cream that does not sting, burn, feel gritty or greasy - you should try mine.
You'll just have to be patient though. I've sold out!
These new ones should be available for purchase on my website this Saturday.
