Blending Procedure:

1. Gather fresh comfrey leaves. Wash them and allow them to wilt overnight. Gently tear the herb leaves into large pieces and use a paper towel to make sure that all moisture is removed from them. Place the herbs in a heat proof pan large enough to hold them plus 4 ounces of oil. Cover the herb with sweet almond oil and place the pan in a warm oven on the lowest setting. Leave the oven door open to make sure the herbs don't burn in the oil.
   
   
2. Allow the herbs to infuse in the oil for at least 4 hours. Remove and strain, discarding the herbs. You'll have a wonderful green infusion of comfrey herb in the almond oil. You may want to strain the oil a few times to make sure all of the herb pieces are removed.
   
   
3. Add 1 drop of lavender essential oil if you'd like, or you can omit this until the baby is at least 3 months old. Shake to combine.
   
   
4. Use this oil as a soothing balm after diaper a change and to prevent chafing. It's also a really nice all over moisturizing skin oil.
