Comfrey can also be made into a poultice along with a few other herbs. A great way to use it is to pulverize a few leaves in a blender or processor with a bit of water and other useful herbs. Then spread the pulp evenly across and in between a couple of 4X4 or larger bandages or gauze laid flat on a cookie sheet, and then freeze it. Then lay it across the injured area (i.e…. sprain, broken bone, badly bruised area) for accelerated healing. I have seen it used with other herbs like calendula, arnica, chamomile, and heal-all.
One other comment. On your korean mint, you might want to try fermenting the leaves before you dry them for tea. I know it helps with the flavor of raspberry and strawberry leaves and really draws out that fruity scent.
Funny synchronicity for me. I just found your channel through your self heal video and subscribed. Then scrolling through your videos came across this one. The synchronicity is, i just planted all 5 of these!!! Well not the korean mint but anise hysop. I also just planted self heal. I'm in my 3rd year of building a medicinal/culinary garden. I have 5 sites where i am planting now each for a different purpose. One is strictly culinary herbs. One is your traditional mints, spearmint, lemon balm, peppermint etc. One is for those with beautiful flowers that I hope get a bit untamed and feed our bees and hummingbirds. One is a big mound of backfill I'm hoping that some of the herbs that do well in poor soil get established, (trying comfrey there) and the last is for whatever doesnt seem to fit into the other categories. It was so exciting to see things come back from last year. It was backbreaking to get these beds established in the last 3 seasons but going forward, easy peasy as I think of new things to add.
🐝❤I have all 5 growing in my garden. I also have Rose Rugosa, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Mint, Spearmint, Oregano, and 3 deferent types of elders. I don't have a very large garden, but these are spread out.
★ dont look for medicinal plants for your health … look for ways not to disturb the nature … that done, youll have no reason to look for medicinal plants .

Lol! I did not know that bees took naps while out foraging! Just assumed they did their resting back at the hive.

If you translated "bittersweet bubblegum yum-yum plant" to latin, it would make a fine species name.
Very informative and calming, thank you.
