1 quart of water
2 ounces cut, dried Comfrey root

1. Put the water and Comfrey Root in a covered pot and bring to a boil.
2. Simmer the root for 20 minutes.
3. Strain out the root pieces and discard them. The remaining brew is dark brown, with a gummy, syrup like consistency.
4. Cool the rinse to tepid before using. Refrigerate the rinse between procedures and warm it to skin temperature before each use. Discard any unused portion after 4 days.

¹/2 cup olive oil
3 Tablespoons powdered Slippery Elm Bark
2 Tablespoons cocoa butter

1. Combine the olive oil and powdered Slippery Elm Bark in a cast-iron frying pan and gently fry for 5 minutes. Be careful not to let the oil or the herb burn.
2. Add the cocoa butter.
3. After the cocoa butter is completely melted, fry the mixture for an additional 10 minutes.
4. Strain the mixture through a sieve lined with cheese cloth and discard the herbs.
5. Pour the liquid ointment into a labeled, dated jar with a tight-fitting lid. Use a jar that is wide enough to insert 2 fingers into, such as a baby food jar or small olive jar.
6. Refrigerate the oil until it is solid. The final ointment has a tan, opaque look and smells like cocoa butter. Once the ointment is solid, keep it near the infant's changing table, away from heat. Discard any unused portion after 2 months.
